Janet was not effective as a mediator for us, we ended up cutting our losses and switching to legal counsel combined with conciliation. She may be fine if all you need more than someone mostly passively listening, and occasionally offering some explanation of how the divorce laws work, but is that worth $300+/hr to you? While I kept (tentatively) offering concessions, some of them substantial (like co-owning the marital home for several years while maintaining the mortgage in my sole name, thus effectively preventing me from getting any significant new mortgage), my wife didnt offer anything in return, in fact got upset that I made any claims whatsoever. When I finally brought this imbalance to a point in the third session and things got a bit testy, Janet just watched on, not intervening to get things back on track. - Leading up to that, I noticed multiple mistakes in her notes or recollection, and I already dreaded having to correct the settlement document that she was slated to draft eventually. She couldnt even get my email spelled correctly without multiple attempts. - Now her claim to essentially have invented mediation - which earned my buy-in initially - sounds to me like Al Gores claim to be the inventor of the internet.

Janet is an experienced mediator who helped our family to improve our communication style and overall relationship.
