We chose Michael to mediate our divorce because of his co-parenting-centered approach, and we are incredibly grateful for the support he provided throughout the process. Michael was unwavering in his child-focused guidance, consistently helping us navigate difficult decisions through the lens of what was truly in the best interest of our child. His ability to foster a respectful, collaborative environment was invaluable, and he continually reassured us that, while divorce is undeniably challenging, our commitment to successful, healthy co-parenting would be something we could be proud of in the long run.

Thanks to Michael's professional expertise and empathetic approach, we were able to reach an agreement that feels fair, balanced, and sustainable for both of us, while always prioritizing our child's well-being. We truly believe the outcome reflects both our individual needs and, most importantly, the needs of our child.

I reached out to Michael for guidance, and although we didn’t directly work together, I was incredibly impressed by their willingness to help and guide me toward the right approach. From the start, Michael demonstrated exceptional communication skills, offering clear and thoughtful advice that made me feel confident in my next steps. He took the time to listen, understand my situation, and pointed me in the direction of the right resources and support.

What truly stood out, however, was their genuine kindness and big heart. It was clear that Michael cared not just about offering advice, but about helping me find the best possible solution with empathy and integrity. His thoughtful approach was a reminder of how valuable it is to have someone who not only knows their field but also truly wants to make a difference in others' lives.

Even though we didn’t work together directly, I’m grateful for the time Michael took to assist me, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone in need of a mediator.

A wife and I decided to divorce and we’re so fortunate to have worked with Michael to mediate our divorce. Michael stayed calm throughout and kept us both focused on making good decisions for our children. He helped us understand how to co-parent and we built a number of co-parenting best practice principles into our agreement. Michael’s sound knowledge of the finances made us both comfortable that we were being fair. We’re both so grateful for the positive impact Michael had on our divorce. I did not expect to be able to divorce so amicably, so positively, without the stress I expected, and it saved us tremendous money that we can use to rebuild our lives and support our kids. If you are divorcing, consult with Michael, he will make an enormous difference
