What Our Clients Say

Elissa

"Matt made our divorce mediation as easy and as personalized as possible. He thought of everything that could possibly come up. He allowed us to talk, collaborate and brainstorm unique options for our divorce agreement that worked best for us and our children. I highly recommend Keystone Mediation!"

- Elissa

Roger

"Getting divorced is such a stressful and scary experience, after all, we're not supposed to be experts at doing this. Keystone Mediation made it possible for us to face this challenge with calm and confidence. The mediation process was like a combination of speaking to a lawyer, a financial advisor, and a therapist all in one. I appreciate and highly recommend Keystone Mediation, not just for the thousands and thousands and thousands of dollars we saved, but for the way we were able to get divorced: with polite, peaceful, respectful, open communication. Could we have tried filing ourselves? Sure, but how would we have ever known with 100% confidence that the agreement we came to was sound? Keystone Mediation will bring you peace of mind as you navigate a season of your life that I am sure you never thought you'd be facing."

Elissa

"After having hired a lawyer and being frustrated with the process, I decided to contact Keystone to get everything with my divorce finished quickly. I am so glad that I did. The ex and I agreed on everything and though we had already done some of the legwork, Keystone helped us button everything up very quickly and efficiently. What would have dragged on for months, ended up being done in about 10 days.
Highly recommend if it is in your budget to do so."

- Ellie

Roger

"Any family legal matter, even under the best circumstances, can be rife with anxiety and opportunities for miscommunication. Our family worked closely with Matthew Carroll of Keystone Mediation to mitigate these issues, and we are beyond satisfied with his services. At every turn, he made sure we had what we needed, we knew what to expect, and what we needed to start considering. At no time did anyone feel uninformed or isolated in this process. We were treated with dignity and the support our family needed to move forward. We will always be grateful to Matthew, and his colleagues at Keystone Mediation for their reasonably priced, skilled, and compassionate support."
