Restorative Divorce

My ex and I met with John E and Jamie, for we needed to settle one issue with our divorce. My ex…read moreand I are on good terms, and are doing our divorce sans lawyers. First, it took over a month for John to return our calls after our initial interview. We chose them because at the initial interview, I thought he was kind, understanding, and in reality, cost less than other mediators we interviewed. When John finally got back to my ex, we set-up an appt. To be short: a. They were unprepared..did not send us the paperwork we were to fill out until the night before our morning appt. And this was after my ex and I both called, texted and emailed to get paperwork b. Same situation with finding out where the appt location was to be. c. They were completely unprofessional. 1. They did not have our paperwork we waited 20-30 minutes while they copied the paperwork 2. We did not have any problems with our parenting plan... they wanted us to go through parenting plan and see what the problems were. and we had to say to them numerous times... WE HAVE NO PROBLEMS THERE 3. Jamie brought up a subject which was not in conflict, but which was a previous problem... now solved... and we both looked at her...and asked why she brought that into the scenario... we had already solved that issue. 4. They wasted our time and money going through the separation agreement page by page. We had one area... child support which was the difficulty. All else, settled... we explained that to them numerous times. to no avail 5. Problem not solved...not even addressed. Jamie...who put her opinions into the scenario... came up with solutions to part of the problem... they did not ask us what we thought the problem was or what were our ideas for solving the problem! 6. they recommended we return... for another 2 hr waste of time 7. we declined the offer, they then charged us more than they said...for although we did stay longer... some of the time was due to their being unprepared. 8. We received a letter where they suggested after we come to an agreement (using their inept services...we each secure a lawyer to go over the agreement. which is so what we do not want to do! We have no desire to pay a lawyer to create conflict...where we have none. DO NOT USE THESE PEOPLE. Completely unprofessional, unhelpful and in fact it seemed that they were trying to create conflict rather than find solutions!!!

I am so grateful to have found and been accepted as a client by this firm! I needed a divorce from…read morea volatile and unpredictable person. Jim and Diana kept everything very professional and as calm as possible. Even from our first interview Jim was concerned with my safety, he spent his own time going over safety practices with me. Throughout the process Jim kept me current with all events. He prepared me and my case for the worst scenario to get the best results, should that happen. He explained the laws that were applicable and how a judge would view my case. Luckily the other party was a final no-show and we got a best scenario result. Regarding fees and billing, Jim and Diana kept very accurate accounting of time and effort spent on my behalf and all were included in my billing statements. I really expected the costs to be higher and was worrying about how I was going to afford them. Due to their efficiency the costs were more than reasonable and I am able to budget them in. I disagree with a previous reviewer who says Jim is only after $$$'s, Jim does his business to help people and asks only to paid commensurately . He is honest and up front about his fees and intentions. I know that he spent unpaid time on the phone and in person with me. If I could I would rate this firm 10 stars out of 5!!

Yikes. My ex and I had selected this person to…read moremediate/arbitrate a real estate issue after our divorce. During our meeting, he spent all of 3 minutes trying to get both parties to mediate (where he assists us to create a working solution) and was quite anxious to get right to arbitrating. Arbitration is where he just makes the rules and we are ordered to follow. He sent us both home with information to gather and present to him. He would use it to make a decision. He failed to explain exactly what all he'd be ruling on and was very vague about his process. 2 months later, he finally wrote the orders which over reached what we actually came in for. After he made those orders, he became unavailable and refused to explain any of his decisions. The rules that he created removed any decision making we originally had during the sales process of house selling. His orders demanded that we list our house on Christmas Day - how bizarre listing a property at the worst time of the year to sell a house. Along with several other odd rules, he removed our ability to counter any offer we received. As it stood, we got a low ball offer and we were forced to accept it without any counters. We were also forced to give the buyer money for improvements. We lost so much money following his orders. My ex and I were completely sick about it. We had to pre pay the entire amount of arbitrating, and wouldn't you know it - even though we only saw him once for a short time, he went through all of that money and billed us for more money after he delivered his orders to us. It's hard to believe he actually spent more than a few minutes coming up with his uninformed orders. This guy is a non existent mediator. His communication skills are pitiful. He is one of those jack a$$es who gets off playing God in his own little world. And is clearly not qualified to do anything when it comes to real estate. There are so many people willing to make money off of the unfortunate break up of families out there. Odds are, you have enough personality conflicts in your life than to have to deal with a bad communicator with some kind of power issues. You would be much better of passing this one up.
