Formal Complaint Regarding Mediator Lori Fazzoni's Conduct and Lack of Neutrality During Mediation…read more I am submitting this complaint regarding my experience with mediator Lori Fazzoni during mediation in my divorce matter. My concern is not simply that mediation failed to produce a settlement. My concern is the manner in which the mediation was conducted and whether both parties' financial positions, arguments, and proposed settlement terms received fair and neutral consideration. Prior to mediation, I prepared and submitted a detailed settlement proposal addressing the division of property, retirement benefits, debt, custody issues, post-separation expenses, and other financial matters. During mediation, I did not feel my proposal received meaningful review or discussion. Several issues caused me significant concern. The mediator stated words to the effect of, "It's my show." I found this troubling in a process that I understood was supposed to remain neutral, balanced, and focused on helping both parties evaluate their respective positions. My premarital property argument was an important issue in the case, yet I do not recall receiving meaningful discussion or analysis of that issue during mediation. I also raised concerns regarding the other party's income, employment, bank activity, financial disclosures, and expenses. I did not feel those matters received the same level of scrutiny as my finances. A substantial amount of time appeared to focus on my banking activity, attorney fees, and financial history. I was also concerned about the treatment of retirement and pension issues. These assets represent a significant portion of the marital estate. I expected meaningful discussion regarding their treatment, valuation, and possible role in settlement. Another concern involved the exchange of mediation materials. I understood mediation summaries were expected three business days before mediation. Materials from the opposing side appeared to have been submitted later than that timeframe. I am concerned about whether both parties were held to the same procedural expectations. During the process, I did not feel there was a balanced examination of each party's income, property claims, debts, financial contributions, or settlement positions. I left mediation believing my evidence and concerns had not received equal consideration. I understand a mediator does not serve as an attorney for either party and does not decide the case. I also understand a mediator does not have to agree with my legal position. My complaint concerns the neutrality, balance, professionalism, and overall administration of the mediation process. I am requesting that the appropriate authority review the mediation, including the mediator's conduct, the handling of the parties' submissions, whether each party received a fair opportunity to present their position, and whether the process complied with applicable mediation standards and procedures. I am willing to provide supporting documents, mediation correspondence, settlement proposals, submission dates, emails, and other records relevant to this complaint. I am requesting a written response explaining the complaint review process and what action, if any, will be taken regarding these concerns.

One of the worst attorneys I have ever had the displeasure of dealing with…read more I say that as someone who was on the opposing side of Lori Finazzo throughout a contentious case and had a front-row seat to how she operates. In my experience, there was an exhausting amount of unnecessary correspondence, needless escalation, and motion practice that seemed to accomplish very little other than increasing the time, cost, and hostility involved in the case. I personally watched court proceedings where her arguments were cut short or redirected by the court, and I repeatedly came away wondering why issues that could have been handled efficiently were instead turned into prolonged disputes. What makes writing this review especially satisfying is knowing the final outcome. I walked away smiling from ear to ear because, despite being represented against her, I successfully pushed back on much of what was thrown at me and achieved an outcome I was extremely pleased with. Based solely on my personal experience dealing with her from the other side, I would never recommend Lori Finazzo to someone looking for an attorney. Litigation is already expensive and stressful enough without unnecessary conflict and inefficiency adding to it. There are plenty of attorneys out there. My advice: look elsewhere -- and look far, far away.

From the very first phone…read morecall--on a Saturday morning--I felt heard, understood, and supported in a way I didn't think was possible in a legal setting. As a permanently disabled parent navigating a high-conflict divorce from a covert narcissist while raising my autistic son, I came into this feeling completely overwhelmed. But Jodi's unique background in law, psychology, and addiction made all the difference. She didn't just represent me--she got me. Jodi, along with Claire (who was a phenomenal law clerk at the time and is now an attorney) and Judy (her kind, organized assistant), stood by me through every mediation and legal battle. Even when I wanted to give up, they reminded me to breathe, to keep going, and to stay grounded in what mattered: protecting my son and staying true to myself. Even now, post-divorce, I know my fight isn't over--and I won't face it without them. Jodi is more than just an attorney. She's a warrior, a fierce advocate, and truly one of the most compassionate professionals I've ever met. If you're navigating a high-conflict case, especially involving children or hidden abuse, call Switalski Law. You won't just get a lawyer--you'll get a team who fights with heart.
