Many go to court only to find out it is more expensive, time-consuming, and confusing than they thought it would be. As a result, people often end up frustrated because they don’t get the resolution they’re seeking. Mediation is an effective alternative for resolving conflicts outside of the courtroom. The mediation process saves time and money by providing flexibility and control, allowing you to resolve issues on your terms.

What Our Clients Say
Jennifer
“Marya was an Amazing mediator. She made the complicated process of divorce much easier. Our divorce was final on 60 days. She had good suggestions for how to be fair and she gave us guidelines for how to handle everything else. Mediation was the best choice for us, and was better for our kids too. It's definitely a more peaceful divorce option that should be considered.”

“You were such a help and a comfort to me through the process, and I am endlessly grateful. I appreciated how warm and kind you were, and how professionally you handled and eased tense moments in those meetings. We also have a rock solid agreement that we’ve been able to abide by really beautifully. I’m happy to say, and I would guess you hear this a lot, that Rob and I have such a better relationship divorced than married, and Olivia has two happy, healthy parents that love her. Thank you so much for all that you do and did for me and my family. I truly appreciate it.”

“I would recommend any divorcing couple to use mediation, and Keystone mediated my divorce very well. Matt made the process simple and as stress-free as possible in the circumstances. He helped us navigate the legalese on the forms and saved us the headache and hassle of a 'DIY divorce.' He also helped us reach compromises on some sticky issues and built them into the agreement, no cutthroat litigation (nor the exorbitant attorney fees) necessary. Best part was that I didn't have to step foot in the courthouse.”

“Going through a divorce is difficult. It is overwhelming to think of finding and paying for a divorce attorney. Working with Keystone Mediation was very comfortable, very organized and very affordable. We were able to work out property, custody and financial arrangements and finalize the divorce in less than 3 months. We did not have to appear for court dates, stand in front of a judge or put our children through any additional stress. I cannot thank Marya and her team enough for helping my family move forward."

“Marya provided our financial training class the deep dive it needed to see how mediation can assist in disputes about assets and property. She was able to clearly communicate what information mediators need before the meeting to even get started. Marya's financial background helped the class understand the parameters of the mediator and at what point we need to pull in additional experts and resources. "

"As a trainer, Marya exhibited a completely different style of facilitating than any of the others. Marya brought up financial issues that I had never considered. Her suggestions will help clients come to mediations prepared and knowledgeable about their financial status and therefore possibly shortening the amount of time needed to reach an amicable agreement."
