What is ADR Mediation?

ADR mediation, or Alternative Dispute Resolution mediation, is a collaborative process that gives couples a private, structured setting to discuss divorce-related concerns when appropriate. Mediation focuses on facilitated conversations led by a neutral mediator.

It may help couples communicate more clearly, reduce unnecessary tension where possible, and explore potential areas of agreement. Each party is encouraged to consult independent legal, financial, and tax professionals before making final decisions or signing any agreement.

I won the lottery in divorce.

I am the .001%

97% of divorce does not go to trial  and of the 3% that do go to trial only 1% of that 3% goes to the appellate court!

Well, that was ME.

I personally endured an 8.5 year fully litigated case that included a 12 day trial that took place over 9 months and after all that living hell…(please excuse my french)

there was a FOUR year state supreme appellate court process.

It cost a TON of money, years of my life tied up in court and it nearly destroyed me and my family.

the funny thing during this time I could barely help myself but time and time again other’s reached out to ME for help..

I called my attorney Marty (gutta remember I was born in Boston)

and told him what happening.

I asked him if I should go to law school…
he smiled and said you know Paulette you think like a judge act like a lawyer and feel like a therapist you owe it to give back and help people you my dear have experienced what 99% of people never will… that experience gives you the depth and the breath of the entire divorce process

my personal experience gave me the awareness, skills and strength to help countless others facing mediation, divorce, antagonistic litigation and ever-changing family dynamics.
