If you're anything like me, I go directly to an attorney when formulating business partnerships and settling minor disputes as any business person would do. I suppose the same could be said for issues of a personal nature when couples/spouses break-up, or for various family disputes too. Needless to say, part of the foundation of any business is operating capitol and cash-flow to get the things you need to function. Once more, like any business person, we do our best to obtain the highest quality when obtaining these things, for the lowest cost/price etc. So there's this gal, Nancy Gabriel that's part of my morning networking group. I've visited with her briefly from time to time as she's always been quite hospitable and very approachable. After my attorney quoted me $475.00 per hour, for 10 hours to assist in formulating my most recent partnership due to expansion, I finally asked Nancy to lunch. She explained her business Mediation Around The Table. After understanding the clear differences of lawyer versus mediator and furthermore understanding her experience as an effective communicator, her mediation experience, and her history as a paralegal, it made clear sense for my business partner and I to hire Nancy to formulate this recent partnership. Oh, and her invoice? IT WAS A JOY TO PAY in comparison to what my attorney wanted! Nancy handled everything we needed plus had the knowledge and know-how to think of things we didn't. She did everything as well as any attorney I've ever worked with. From now on, legal issues go to my attorney, but for everything else Nancy Gabriel /Mediation Around The Table is my absolute go-to. She gets my endorsement and I highly recommend her! read more

I met Nancy Gabriel from Mediation Around the Table thru a Networking group, about 4 years ago. She has such a calming personality and is very professional in all she does.

My ex-wife and I engaged Nancy to mediate our divorce as a low-cost alternative to involving lawyers. From the start of our initial consultation, to the signing of our mediated settlement agreement, Nancy made sure our encounters both with and without our spouse were cordial and productive. Nancy streamlined the process by having us complete worksheets in advance of our appointments and was quickly able to diffuse disagreements with counter proposals that resulted in an equitable compromise. I highly recommend Nancy's services if you are looking for a mediation professional to assist with the uncoupling process. read more
