San Diego Family Mediation Center - Del Mar, California

Eric Lester

Hi All, quick note to share Jen did an outstanding job guiding us through a challenging time where we really did want to meet in the middle - easier said than done, but all are in a better place thanks to her expert knowledge of divorce law, finances and how to navigate/counsel both parties (and personalities) through difficult and impactful discussions. She said she gets to work with the best people facing difficult situations; Jen's steady hand helped us find "the middle" with a minimized cost (or loss) through the process. I hope this helps anyone facing this situation, I strongly recommend Jen and her team!

Jen was our mediator during an incredibly stressful time, even before the divorce. While we eventually hired attorneys and spent five years in court, I’m so grateful Jen was our mediator first. She was extremely skilled, efficient, and compassionate, mapping out the details of our separation and child custody in just a few sessions—agreements we still follow 10 years later.

Unfortunately, my ex did not adhere to the mediation agreements and became violent and manipulative, leading me to hire an attorney to enforce the terms. This resulted in five years of legal battles, but without Jen’s clear and thorough plan, the process would have been even longer and more expensive. It was already financially devastating, and I’m still recovering 10 years later.

Jen handled my ex’s narcissistic personality with expertise and firm boundaries. I would 100% work with her again and recommend her to everyone. As a marriage and family therapist, I had a rude awakening about the unethical nature of family law attorneys, who often prolong conflict to get paid. Mediation, on the other hand, fosters peace and healing. If you have children, mediation is crucial, as you’ll always need to communicate. Unless you can afford to keep a lawyer on retainer for 18 years, learning to co-exist peacefully in mediation is the best option.

If you are going through the process of divorce, look no further than San Diego Family Mediation. I had the privilege of working for Jennifer Segura and during that time, I witnessed the compassion, patience and trust she gave her clients, day in and day out. I witnessed every day, the stress and worry her clients walked in with. She was always able to relieve that stress and worry during that first meeting. If you are stuck not knowing what your options are, talk to Jen, she can provide you some clarity.

Our divorce could not have gone any better, smoother and or easier. It was a very scary emotional time for me, and Jennifer Segura and San Diego Family mediation were so helpful and knowledgeable. I had no idea what to expect as I had never been through this process. They made all the laws pertaining to divorce make sense with ease.. and guided us through it. I never felt overwhelmed and burdened by this process with SD Family Mediation representing us! All the behind the scenes paper filing etc was all done for us.. they helped us come to agreements that were in the best interest of our little one, first, and the two of us of course. I have, and will always recommend Jennifer Segura and SD Family Mediation to anyone needing these services as I can contest to what I consider an amazing experience despite the circumstances.

I went through a challenging divorce. The first two attempts to resolve things on my own were terrible; there was no agreement, only arguments, and even the judge seemed frustrated. One thing my ex-wife and I had in common was our reluctance to hire a lawyer. We both understood that involving attorneys would likely lead to being taken advantage of and ultimately ending up broke. However, I felt that no mediator could effectively handle the situation with my ex-wife—or with me. We were at odds and agreed on nothing.
Fortunately, my ex-wife discovered the San Diego Family Mediation Center (SDFMC) through a trusted referral. Given my skepticism, I was hesitant about attending the initial consultation.
Once we sat down at the SDFMC, everything began to change. The mediator clearly explained the process, established boundaries, and demonstrated fairness, showing that they genuinely had our collective best interests in mind. This was a refreshing change from the animosity I had experienced in my interactions with my ex.
There were moments when I needed to be reined in, and I appreciated it when the mediator did the same for my ex-wife. The mediators at SDFMC are clearly experienced in handling tense negotiations; they navigated the high emotions effectively and kept our meetings focused and productive.
In the end, my ex-wife and I reached an agreement that was best for our children, despite the difficult circumstances of the divorce.
While divorce isn't always ideal, having SDFMC as our mediator saved us a significant amount in legal fees and spared us from unnecessary heartache.
Now, I need to go buy a new couch.
