TESTIMONIALS

Brian, father to 11 year old

“The parenting plan consultation was the most helpful part of the process. It was the most emotional part of the process and the consultation helped to place things in perspective on the parenting plan.”

Steve, father to 4 year old

“Thank you Karen for all your help through this process. You made a horrible situation and time much easier to digest and and work through. To say I am beyond grateful is an understatement.”

Rhonda, 2nd divorce (first was litigated)

“Don’t hesitate to do this – the focus on obtaining a divorce without all the insane drama of court involvement is far healthier for everyone involved. When you walk out of the last meeting, you KNOW what your future looks like. Far, far less angst and anxiety – respect is encouraged at all times and it feels ‘safe”
