Family Law Mediation Insight

Strategic advantage from a Florida Supreme Court Certified Mediator.

Faith was my third attorney for a lengthy divorce I couldn't seem to end. My previous attorneys ran up costs, caused conflict and prolonged my case for months on end. Faith worked with my ex's attorney to negotiate and settle my case in a matter of weeks. Faith did exactly what she said she would do in a very prompt and ethical fashion. She was compassionate and caring in regard to my situation. I thought my case would never end, and Faith brought me resolution I thought wouldn't happen any time soon. I am grateful for her getting the case closed as soon as possible and helping to minimize the drama that had been around for well over a year. I can't say enough great things about her. Her staff is kind and efficient and she works will with other attorneys and mediators. Faith's costs are fair, and she does an excellent job of only working on what is necessary rather than running up the costs of the case. I am incredibly pleased with the results Faith has brought me, and I would highly recommend her to anyone in Sarasota or Manatee Counties looking to end things and avoid a trial if at all possible.
