It is an odd thing to leave a great review for a Divorce Mediator, but Lisa Wiemken warrants no less. To me, the fact that my marriage was coming to an end came as a horrible surprise, and I was totally unprepared for the barrage of things that need to be taken care of in order to unwind a long standing marriage. While the process has been painful, I can honestly say that I am overjoyed to have discovered the mediation process, which saves a great deal of money and acrimony, and to have found North Shore Divorce Mediation to guide my ex and I through the process. Lisa doesn't just work with the legalities of the situation, but she attends closely to the emotional and psychological health of the parties involved. She provides referrals to outside services that you, as a divorcing person, may not even know that you need yet. Many people are unaware that there is an alternative to a long, drawn out, expensive divorce process, where the only people who benefit are the divorce attorneys. Lisa Wiemken is an advocate for the mediation process, and she makes it easy, even in trying times. While I am not happy about the end of my marriage, I am very much grateful for and proud of the settlement that my ex and I were able to reach by working together with Lisa guiding us. We came to an agreement that preserved as much of our wealth as possible and that we both feel comfortable with. If you are reading this, the tough times are already on their way. With Lisa and North Shore, you will have the best chance of coming out the other side whole and happy. Thanks again, Lisa, for your help!

I used the collaborative process for my divorce ten years ago. When I needed to renegotiate some financial aspects with my ex-spouse, I chose not to use my previous attorney. Lisa came through a referral and she helped us reach a fair and impartial agreement. Unlike our previous attorney, she was quick and thorough, without delays and additional charges, all while maintaining our collaborative directives. She answered my emails even after business hours. She felt like a friend. The best kind of friend, one who can advise you and help you to see things clearly and not emotionally. Lisa is a rare find. What more can you ask for in an attorney?

Divorce is not a pleasing matter. It can be a never-ending nightmare on an emotional rollercoaster. I consider myself extremely fortunate to have found Lisa Wiemken. She is an extraordinary professional, educated, honest attorney/mediator and an even more extraordinary human being; I don't even know how that is possible but it is true! She was compassionate, made me feel safe, heard and understood. She took time to explain everything and always reminded me of the bigger happy picture with every emotional hurdle that came my way. She was always available for me and I never felt alone. Believe me when I say, my divorce was NOT an easy one but she somehow dealt with my difficult ex-spouse better than anyone I will ever know. Her guidance helped us mediate this process with respect and grace. I don't say this lightly, I don't know what I would have done this year without her. I can't emphasize this enough, if you find yourself in divorce, Lisa Wiemken is your savior!

I can't thank you enough Lisa!

Most people know very little about divorce mediation, but when they learn more, it clearly is the best way to approach a divorce to minimize conflict and the negative impact on each family member. I believe in mediation and I believe in Lisa and the work she has done to help families find closure in a healthy way.

I hired Lisa to handle my uncontested divorce filing and I couldn't be happier with the outcome. She made me feel safe and heard. Thank you, Lisa.
