Mediation Services

Private, confidential mediation provides an alternative to court that allows you to resolve your divorce, separation, custody, support and property disputes in a respectful, efficient and affordable manner. Attorney Erika Englund is a trained mediator, helping parties to identify their interests, address their conflict, and resolve their disputes without the hassel, stress, delay and cost of a typical divorce.

Your mediation is a private and protected out-of-court process that empowers both of you, with the assistance of a neutral facilitator, to make YOUR OWN decisions about your divorce, separation, children and finances.


If you litigate your dispute... But if you mediate your dispute...
Judges make decisions about your family and your finances YOU make decisions about your family and your finances
Outcomes are unpredictable Outcomes totally controlled by you
It’s expensive - you pay for two attorneys, including their travel time and time they spend sitting in court. It’s affordable - you pay for mediator, and only then when the mediator is actually working on your matter.
Takes many months or even years Quick, efficient resolution
Details of your life, disputes and finances are public record, available to anyone The process is totally discreet and confidential, belonging only to you
Judges or attorneys decide where your children live, and can remove them from both parents’ care Your role as the parent is respected; there is NO chance that your children will be taken from you involuntarily
Gives the judge 10 or 15 minutes to hear your case All the time that you need to consider the long-term effects of your decision
You are pressured to make important decision while in the Courtroom hallway or over the telephone You are assisted in the decision-making process while in a comfortable environment
The adversarial environment encourages you fight with your partner You are assisted in productive communication and decision-making
You are more likely to return to court in the future You feel good about agreements that you made, and are unlikely to return to court
One or the other party may not follow the Judge’s orders Both parties respect agreements because each has fully participated
