This is partially in response to Miciah D's review. I am the former Mrs. Miciah D. Here's the whole story. PK was very professional and kind, to both of us. She told us up front that she didn't take sides, and even makes that promise in writing. We began with a free consultation; we discussed the terms of mediation, and PK outlined what she did and what she did not do as a mediator. She was not going to make decisions for us, but she would hear both sides, and offer guidance and suggestions if need be. We began mediation directly after the consultation, focusing on our kids and how our split schedule would work. PK kept the questions flowing, bringing up things Miciah and I hadn't even thought of. With her help, we began to get a grasp on what the process of divorcing would entail, and how our lives would need to be divided. We scheduled the next session. Miciah was displeased that we would have to wait 2 weeks for another appt - he wanted to "get the show on the road". PK was apologetic - her schedule fills quickly, and she had already agreed to accommodate Miciah for a time she didn't usually offer for our free consultation. (If I'm remembering correctly, she doesn't do free consultations in the afternoon, but she had agreed to meet us at 3pm on a Friday. Already she was being accommodating.) PK emailed a list of documents she needed to get the process rolling. Bank statements, financial summaries, etc. Our appointment day arrived. 3:30 was our appt time. Miciah was 15 minutes late, claiming traffic. I had taken the same route 20 mins earlier, and had run into no traffic. I mention this merely so you have an understanding of how Miciah's mind works sometimes. PK welcomed him when he arrived, and waved off his lateness with a smile. (At 3:20, she had come into the lobby and greeted me, and asked where Miciah was. I told her I honestly didn't know, which was true. At 3:30, she invited me into the conference room, saying "We'll go ahead and get started, and he can join us when he gets here.") We began our second appointment, which was to mostly cover finances. PK brought up a clothing budget for the kids, which worked out to $60 per month for each of us. Miciah was stunned. "No way," he responded. "There's no way we ever spend that much on clothing for our kids." "You have boys," PK reminded us. "Shoes can eat that up in one shot. It's not a big number, it's pretty realistic." Miciah shook his head. He continued to protest the number, saying it was too high, despite the fact that up until the divorce he'd done almost none of the kids shopping. PK did not waffle under his protests. She asked him what number he wanted her to write on the board, and he told her. She did, and we moved on. At the end, she commended us, telling us our budgets were realistic and well thought out. We left with more assignments of what to send her. PK told us we shouldn't need to come in again until we signed our finished agreement, and so the most expensive part of mediation was mostly finished. After this, we did not hear from PK for several days. Miciah fretted, wondering what was taking her so long. We emailed her, and she reassured us that she would get back to us soon, that she had a few clients finishing up their contracts, and some professional obligations to take care of, but that we were in her queue. A few days later she began sending bits of the contract, asking us to edit in red. Miciah began protesting things we had discussed in mediation, and thus began a $500 email fight between him and me. PK remained neutral, said we were doing good work and to keep communication flowing. He began demanding changes to our agreement - for instance, me splitting the cost of the refi with him, because "he was gaining no benefit by refinancing the house into his own name" - I was gaining more by being able to walk away. PK said this wasn't really equitable - he was choosing to keep the house, so the costs were his. He said she didn't know what she was talking about. PK kept her cool. She cited her experience and what the usual course of action was. Miciah attacked her character, saying that she was a biased fraud because she was "taking my side." Eventually he and I agreed on things, and PK sent a final doc, having kept her professionalism intact. There were missing clauses and some mistakes, which I had expected because of the dozens of emails. Miciah announced that she'd done a bad job, citing all the mistakes. She apologized, and sent a new contract with corrections. In essence, she was given a difficult client, and she did her best, and in his eyes it wasn't good enough. PK is fair and a good mediator. Miciah had zero understanding for the situation he created - he merely blamed. Which is why he and I are no longer married. read more

Too Slow. Takes days to get replies to emails. Excruciating. If you want to take 10 years to get divorce, this is the place to go.

Don't want to leave 1 star but it just wasn't good. Specifically PK isn't willing to cater her method to what the couple needs and instead pushes her way of doing things. When asked, she would say "It's just how I work, I work backwards." It's a completely made up scenario to the reality of a separating couple. She created more friction than needed to be there. The communication was terrible. When there finally was an attempted resolution of child support and alimony, only my ex wife was notified. I had to be persistent to get this information. There are more options out there and people who do this a lot better. I would NOT recommend. read more

PK and her team were phenomenal !!! Even though this was the toughest time in our lives, PK somehow made it easy for us to understand. Im truly grateful for all that she did for us. PK is more than a mediator to me , she has become a friend. read more

Absolutely loved PK and her team. I felt like she was very fair and my almost ex-wife and I had a great outcome without spending 10s of thousands of dollars. Thank you East Valley Mediator for making a hard time easy. read more

I would definitely recommend this team, and PK specifically for divorce mediation. She handled a very complicated case, all the while making me feel like I was heard and respected. She listened to my ideas, and added her own ideas to create a divorce agreement that was fair for both parties. She was wonderful to work with and her expertise is highly appreciated! read more

By far the worst service I have ever experienced with any company in my entire life. Almost $3000 and 7 months later and we still don't have our documents in hand. We went into meditation already in agreement on 90% of everything, the only thing we needed was the documents written for us. After multiple repetitive emails, being asked for documents that we had already sent months prior, and trying to explain things over and over and still having them sent back to us incorrectly, we feel as though we have been completely ripped off by this company. We went into mediation with a post-nuptial agreement and stressed the importance of getting this done as fast as possible to avoid jurisdiction issues since I was moving out of state. We were told we would have our documents by the end of July and it's now September and the only documents we are receiving are more bills. Regardless of having the mediation agreement, you will still need to hire someone to fill out the petition for dissolution of marriage and if it's non-contested like ours is, then this mediated agreement isn't even necessary. We have also found out now through our paralegal that we could have just had the paralegal file the petition without the agreement while we worked on the agreement during the 60-day waiting period, but this was never communicated to us from this company even though we made it clear that we were in a major time crunch. This has been a complete waste of time and money and has caused so much additional stress in an already stressful situation. This is the first negative review I have ever left but I cannot express this enough... RUN AS FAST AS YOU CAN FROM THIS COMPANY. read more

PK and East Valley Mediators were very helpful in reviewing the details of our complicated case and making suggestions that were fair to both of us. She is thoughtful, unbiased and wants the best result for everyone. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a solution that is equitable and financially reasonable. read more

PK Has been amazing already helping me with a rental dispute. Her knowledge of how to prepare legal documentation to protect myself has been invaluable. What would have turned into a property management company taking advantage of my and stiffing my with nearly $4,000 in charges for their lack of care has become a lot less daunting with the help of a professional that is willing to fight for you! Never feel like you have to go through a legal battle alone, PK has your back!! read more

PK Jordan was very professional and better with this difficult situation than we could have hoped for. She was very patient and explained everything to us. We left feeling all our questions had been answered and that we knew exactly what we were signing. I would highly recommend her if you need mediation services. read more

We spend a lot money here and it was a waste of time and money. The way we ended the process made no difference of when we started with the exception of less money in our pocket. Will not recommend PK Jordan to anyone. Communication was horrible I paid to listen to her life histories which was ridiculous when we could have used the time to solve our problems. Should have got out of the process a lot earlier. read more

PK Jordan assisted us with my parents mediation in SPANISH. Not only did she make it super simple but she communicated with us and would always answer our questions. Super friendly and understanding, she really cares about what she is doing. Very efficient and and cost friendly as well. Definitely recommend to use her services! read more

PK provided a very professional experience and I would recommend her services to anyone. She was fair to both sides and presented great solutions for our needs. read more

If I could give her less than one star I would. Communication was bad, she clearly had a bias toward the outcome of my ex, and the final document had so many errors--from typographical to omitted clauses to absolutely ridiculous, non-legal wording--that we finally had to create our own. Whatever you do, DON'T hire PK. Look elsewhere or you may find yourself in the same position we did: $900 lighter and nothing to show for it. She should find another line of work. read more

I found PK when things turned ugly with my Ex and she helped me understand the whole divorce process and what would be involved in the mediation process as well. Though some things have changed I still find myself referring back to her original agreement for reference. She was so easy to work with and I always felt like I could call her with questions when I had them which was a lot! Thanks PK! read more

I would strongly suggest you come prepared and do your homework upfront.

PK provided a wonderful mediation service during my divorce. She was relatable and understanding of all aspects of our difficult situation.

PK is a skilled, knowledgeable mediator. The mediation process was organized and time-efficient in a relaxed and comfortable small conference room setting. PK has exceptional listening and negotiating skills, which in turn means a timely, low-stress resolution. read more

PK was very useful in getting the divorce process under way. With her guidance I was able to move along with my life and am very satisfied with how everything was handled. Be sure to have all paperwork ie..taxes, bills, child care, car payments etc..at your disposal and the process really will go much smoother. It is a tough decision to make but I would recommend using PK Jordan if you have decided that divorce is the next step in your life. read more
