Modern Mediation - Los Angeles, California

The Erik Brown

As a Beverly Hills realtor, I’ve had the pleasure of working with Sarah from Los Angeles Family Mediation, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. Sarah is the epitome of professionalism—her attention to detail, knowledge of the law, and ability to guide clients through complex situations with ease is truly exceptional. Whether you’re dealing with the nuances of divorce or child custody, Sarah's expertise ensures that every decision is made with precision and care. Her mediation skills are unparalleled, and she knows how to keep both parties focused on achieving the best possible outcome.

What truly sets Sarah apart is her compassionate approach. She goes above and beyond to ensure her clients feel supported during challenging times. Her calm demeanor and thoughtful guidance have a way of diffusing tension, allowing for smoother, more productive negotiations. Sarah is not just a skilled mediator; she is genuinely dedicated to helping families find peace and resolution. If you are in need of mediation services, you couldn’t be in better hands.

Sarah is incredibly detailed, attentive, organized and patient. Her honesty and empathy make her truly special. She's always a few steps ahead and she makes a grueling process bearable. I'm very grateful for her guidance and support.

Sarah is an unusually focused, well-organized professional who brings a great deal of empathy and patience to the table. She is able to remain level-headed and objective while thinking many steps ahead in anticipation of an effective, but more importantly fair and reasonable, outcome. She is able to remain impartial without being cold, distant, or uncaring. I have seen Sarah demonstrate all of these traits and have recommended Modern Mediation to my own clients when I was asked for my opinion.

Count yourself extremely lucky if you are able to contract with Sarah English Wallace as your mediator. I have found Sarah to be uncommonly smart and very effective at what she does. In fact, I have never met a more earnest, honest professional who feels a greater weight of responsibility to do the most good she possibly can. Sarah might not be the cheapest per hour, however, her *superior* due-diligence -- which underpins every facet of her work for you -- makes the final outcome of the mediation worth her weight in gold.

I am very pleased with the service I received at Modern Mediation. I found Ms. Wallace to be extremely competent, professional and knowledgeable. Her expertise and approach were instrumental in reducing my anxiety about the whole process. I would highly recommend her to anyone in need of mediation services.

Jason Berlin

Sarah was incredibly smart, empathetic, reasonably priced, and very knowledgable about her field. Would absolutely recommend her to anyone with the highest possible praise.

I’d give a zero star review if I could. Sarah charges $350- $700/ hour only to have to be chased down to get a response (her pattern seems to be she disappears for about two weeks at a time) and then in the end never even delivered on what she promised. As if going through a separation isn’t hard enough, I now have wasted almost 2 months of my life waiting for the “help” we already paid for. And of course she knew our financial situation and clearly has no compassion or courtesy for peoples time and money, only her own when she’s billing you per minute for phone and email communications!! Disappointing isn’t even the word, it’s immoral. Thank you for putting me in a tougher situation than we started in, modern mediation, you’re a gem.
