Ellen was absolutely terrific!! I cannot recommend her enough. My ex and I had a few unique situations and Ellen uniquely crafted a settlement to accommodate our needs. Ellen became more than a mediator for us...she became a confidant and a lifelong friend.

I posted this rating due to the problems and aggravation incurred by me on the morning of my divorce hearing. I mistakenly assumed that our paperwork was incorrectly prepared by Ellen as I was told by judge Emmons. In reality all the forms were correct above and beyond what was expected by the court. It has since come to my attention that Ellen was not at fault at all, but that judge Emmons was in complete error in reviewing our forms. I believe she is being removed from the bench or being investigated for her actions and rulings while on the bench.

In light of this information I completely recommend Ellen for your mediation needs, and am retracting my one star rating. I feel very comfortable in giving Ellen five stars for her thoroughness and professionalism.

I’m so glad I found Ellen for my Divorce. She definitely taught me a lot of different things through the process. She also could “read” me knowing how I felt which I thought was great after only knowing for short time. That’s how much she connects with her clients. Freddie her dog was great therapy and calming . She had us very prepared for the whole process took the stress away.

Ellen's knowledge of law and the caring she gave to my ex and I were way more than expected. She went above and beyond to help us through so much more than just the divorce. She prepared us for the day in court and it went just as she explained. I would recommend Ellen to anyone looking for a quality mediator.

highest skill level and obvious dedication to fairness

I recently had the pleasure of working with Ellen to mediate my divorce. Ellen is an amazing person and very good at her job! She walked my ex-husband and me through every step of the process, guiding us the whole time and letting us know our rights. Ellen was even by the phone waiting to help if anything should go wrong at the court house. Ellen was kind, thoughtful, sincerely concerned about the welfare of our family and very fair. She listened attentively, respected all opinions and concerns, was nonjudgemental and worked hard to come up with a plan that would work for both of us. I highly recommend Ellen. She is a very skilled mediator.

I was shocked by the high alimony proposed in mediation. When I questioned the calculation method and requested an adjustment, I was let go as a client. An investment of over $5,000 in fees and countless hours of my own time were both lost. After pursuing my divorce through trial, with an experienced attorney representing me, my alimony settlement was significantly less than what was proposed in mediation.
