Mediation Services

We're quick.

Our divorce process clocks in at up to 5x the speed of court, averaging 3 to 5 months instead of a year+.

Other disputes can often be resolved in a matter of hours.

Why do you need mediation?

We put kids first.

Mediation results in children with mental-health equal to intact-family peers and halves kids' risk for anxiety.

Parents who mediate are 4x more likely to stay engaged.

We save you money.

Our clients save an average of $20,000 to $40,000 or more.

Our hourly services for business or family issues cost a fraction of attorneys' fees.

Why Mediation Works

What We Solve

How It Works

Divorce doesn’t have to be a battleground. Mediation offers a simpler, saner way forward—where you stay in control, prioritize your family, and build durable agreements without courtroom drama. Whether you’re sorting through finances, navigating parenting decisions, or just looking for a smoother process, we help you move from confusion to clarity—step by step.

Resolve your divorce in 2–4 months (not 12+) for a fraction of the cost. Flat fees mean no billing surprises.

Stay in Control
You—not a judge—decide what’s fair. We help you reach agreement on property, parenting, and support that fits your lives.

Lower Stress, Protect Your Family
Mediation supports calmer conversations and healthier co-parenting. It models respect, even in hard moments.

Our services extend both "upstream" of divorce, for marital decisions, and "downstream," for post-divorce co-parenting. In fact, our coaching can help people agree whether to get divorced—or whether to get married—in the first place.

Other examples include whether to:
-move in together,
-buy a house,
-have children,
-blend families, and
-many others.

Most clients reach agreement in a handful of sessions. The service is offered through a secure Zoom call, so you can attend from wherever is most comfortable to you. And, if you're in Minnesota, we can arrange to meet in-person, too.

If you've been skirting around a sticking point, mediation is designed to finally solve it. It's a reliable way to reach comfortable agreement when you're stuck at an uncomfortable impasse.

Joint Sessions
(two hours)

For couples, co-parenting, and elder care mediation, the number of joint sessions are scheduled as needed. Many find agreement within a handful sessions or less. Remarkably challenging, high-value topics rarely extend beyond six sessions.

Most clients join remotely on separate, respective devices. In-person options are available in Minnesota.

How do non-divorce sessions work?

Business, Family, Co-Parenting, and Couples Mediation

1:1 Sessions
(ninety, sixty, or thirty minutes)

For individuals, 1:1 coaching is an effective standalone option when one person isn't able or willing to participate.

For some couples and co-parents, alternating 1:1 sessions are preferred to appearing together on a joint call.

Also, 1:1 sessions can provide accountability between joint meetings.

Here's a common example:
Consider the issue of budgeting. When managing kids' costs as parents, reaching consensus on the shared budget is essential.

A therapist or friend may identify the need for budget reconciliation, but the practical aspects of number-crunching can't be addressed in therapy itself. And, as we all know, adversarial attorneys often draw out the process.
