What is Co-Mediation?

We normally mediate as a team. While we have been practicing law and counseling for many years, when we mediate, we sit at the mediation table as mediators only. At the same time, our knowledge and our experience give us the ability to guide you to your solution. We have found that "two heads are better than one" in the mediation process and our clients appreciate our different backgrounds
and perspectives.

How can mediation help you?

Mediation is still a mystery to many people since it is not as widely utilized in Rhode Island and Massachusetts as it is in other parts of the country. A good starting place is to read Jeremy's article "Divorce With Dignity" written in 1997 for the Rhode Island Bar Journal. Or read Partners In Mediation's page on What is Mediation? If you want to fully investigate mediation, go to www.Mediate.Com and visit the "About Mediation", and "Articles by Section" links and choose your area of interest. We work with CPA's regularly within the mediation process and "collaborative Law" is very similar to our method of helping you through your issues when there are money or tax issues. We utilize a cutting-edge divorce financial system called Family Law Software to organize data, test options, compute tax consequences, and to accurately review future budget projections and asset growth. Finally, the home page for www.Mediate.Com will lead you to over 1,200 articles and resources regarding mediation. You may ask us a specific question by emailing us directly:
