Meet Michele
Michele has been working in the field of Accounting and has experience working with different types of small businesses and industries, she’s also works with the financial information for many divorces and Estates. Seeing client disputes and divorces end in court, she knows that there is often a disconnect between the client’s real-life needs and the final settlement agreement. The legal system takes the complexities of a case and boils them down to details and facts on a page; and during this process, people are almost always forgotten. This only results in frustration, more legal fees, and extra expenses.
Each case and each participant have their own unique qualities and circumstances; no two people and no two cases are the same. The law follows practices and customs in order to deal with crime, business, social relationships, property, finance, etc. What if your case doesn’t fit into that box?
As a mediator, Michele works with both parties to find the best and most productive agreement that fits their needs. Because people matter, these agreements are and will always be individualized to fit each party. She does not believe in only option one or two; her experience and conflict resolution skills allow her to encourage clients to find the third option, the option that works best for them. That extra step distinguishes her from other mediators.
Meet Jamie
Jamie believes that mediation is a great way for people to communicate, work through disagreements, and find solutions that work for everyone. Having experienced the challenges of divorce firsthand, she understands how overwhelming the process can be, both emotionally and financially.
Jamie’s own divorce was a difficult journey that cost her thousands of dollars in legal fees. It wasn’t until later that she discovered mediation could have been an option. In fact, when a few issues remained unresolved after her divorce, the judge suggested mediation as a way to work through their differences rather than return to the attorneys. That experience opened her eyes to the value of having another way to resolve conflict.
Inspired by her own journey, Jamie wants others to know they have choices. She hopes to help individuals and families find a less stressful way to navigate difficult situations, communicate more effectively, and work toward solutions that allow everyone to move forward.
When she’s not helping others find common ground, Jamie is busy keeping up with her four boys, who certainly make life an adventure! She loves spending time in nature and has made it a priority to carve out time for herself along the way. She believes that finding balance, taking a breath, and making space for what matters most are all important parts of navigating life’s challenges.
Jamie brings a personal understanding of the divorce process and a genuine desire to help others discover that there can be a better way forward.
