No one gets married with the goal of it ending in a divorce though sadly most marriages do end in divorce statistically speaking. Having said this, for couples that are interested in exploring mediation as an option, Main Line offers an excellent service / product that should be considered. The interactions with Cris Pastore and the Main Line team which included a network of outside professionals who are available to address unique personal situations was professional, informative, well managed with no surprises. All steps including the overall process with timing involved in our mediation and subsequent divorce were clearly described. Id highly recommend Main Lines services to any couple considering mediation. Job well done, thanks!!

Cris was a true gift to helping us transition from being a married couple to a happy family. His care, compassion, understanding and knowledge were key to our successful mediation. With Criss guidance, what could of been a tough time in our lives was truly a peaceful and healing process. We no- longer maybe a Mr. and Mrs. yet we came out stronger as a family in the end. I will alway be grateful.

Sharon and her team (Jean!) were really helpful in the process and answered all of my questions quickly and fully. I appreciated their organization and knowledge.

I was genuinely pleased with the experience created by Cris and his team as they guided us through the mediation process. Cris was compassionate, trustworthy, knowledgeable and responsive. He made a difficult life event more palatable through empathy and simplified process.

I truly applaud Cris Pastore for the mission of his firm. Each time I have consulted him about a particular matter, hes been responsive and thoughtful. He will fully address all of your questions with a level of patience rare in this field. If you are looking for an alternative to traditional attorneys, I highly recommend that you give Cris and his firm a chance. Its very possible that working with him could save you lots of time, money, and heartache.

Wish I could give 6 stars !Divorce can be scary, expensive and confusing...Main Line Family Law Center made all the difference in my divorce. I can’t recommend them enough for their wonderful staff, thoroughness and patience.

I have referred counseling patients to the Main Line Family Law Center for support and counsel surrounding issues of divorce and mediation and in each case they received help that positively affected the outcome of their divorce in ways that saved them heartache and money. I see patients struggling with alcohol and drug use, many who have real problems with addiction and some who are only being accused of having problems by their angry and vindictive partners. I highly recommend mediation. It is similar to couples therapy in that both partners need to be able to see things from very different perspectives, almost like they are living on different planets and have to reach out into the other persons world and speak a completely different language. Mediation can help you do that. Only when both parties can concede and communicate that way can any collaboration happen and progress be made. Addiction is an incredible wedge in this process. Sitting down and considering mediation allows partners to move on, find resolution and when children are involved it is the kindest and most compassionate way to divorce.

As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I work with a lot of divorcing couples. Whenever possible, I refer them to Main Line Family Law Center. Cris Pastore genuinely is committed to the divorce process being as reasonably-priced as possible, while keeping the best interests of the family (especially children) at the forefront.

Main Line Family Law Center has served clients well. I feel comfortable referring clients when mediation is a good fit.

Friendly and helpful staff guided me through a rough time. I highly recommend their services.

Cris Pastore was our meditation attorney for my divorce. I was continuously impressed with his firm’s approach to the mediation process, particularly with his skills as a mediator and the work of Sandi Sherr, their parenting mediator. Cris worked extraordinarily hard to help us complete an agreement as quick and painless as humanly possible, which was a testament to his passion and commitment to his life’s work. In everything that he did it was clear how much he genuinely cared. I greatly appreciate Criss commitment to the mediation process and to his clients, and his extraordinary efforts made a very difficult time in my life much easier for me and my children. I highly recommend Main Line Family Law Center and Cris Pastore!

I just wanted to extend my personal thanks to Main Line Family Law for helping me through this difficult process. Cris Pastore and Jean Denard, along with the unbelievably gifted Sandi Sherr, made this journey much less terrifying. Additionally, in the beginning, I took advantage of the free consultation with Adina Laver and her book made so much sense to me that I used it throughout this journey. Im glad we all came out the other side intact and I know it was in large part due to the levels of service (legal, divorce coaching, parenting mediation, etc) we received. I have recommended mediation, and most importantly the Center, to friends who are dipping their toes into the divorce waters. I realize that mediation is not for everyone, but Im very glad I chose this path.

Cris and his team are knowledgeable, competent, and compassionate when handling the intricacies of divorce and mediation particularly when it comes to children. Im tremendously grateful for Cris and his team.
