Question:
How does divorce mediation differ from going to court?Answer:
Divorce mediation in Rochester differs from going to court in that it eliminates the need to go to court. By meeting with me, an attorney-mediator, we’re able to come up with a settlement that resolves the issues. The only time you have to go to court is if there’s a disagreement or we’re not able to come up with an agreement. If you’re not able to come up with an agreement, then mediation isn’t going to work for you. You’re going to have to go through the court process. Generally speaking, meeting with a mediator, we’re able to help people come up with an agreement that’s acceptable to each of them. By doing that, we can completely eliminate the need or the requirement to have to go to court and to see the judge. If that’s something you’re interested in doing, you can contact us at our office and we can talk about your options.Are you considering a divorce and have questions or concerns?

Client Reviews
“Mike will end all your distrust and annoyance associated with legal proceedings. He handled my divorce and did an amazing job keeping it out of court and getting me what I wanted. He was there to talk to the whole time and made me feel he was on my side by his comments and advice. He is now representing my girlfriend for her custody battle and he was the only lawyer we would contact to handle the case. He is truly a good person which is hard to find with people associated with the law in this country. Thank you Mike for everything you have done for me and for everything you are doing for my girlfriend.”
