kind and professional

Julia helped us with our divorce, and having her expertise made a real difference and smoothed the process. I am grateful for her support, and grateful that my ex husband thought to reach out to her for professional support with the proceedings.

Professional and Compassionate

Julia made an extremely difficult and emotional process as smooth as possible. She was prepared and facilitated our two sessions with compassion and an open mind. Julia presented topics we had to discuss and come to terms with, which made the time so worth it. Julia prepared all necessary paperwork a...nd we simply had to sign where she told us to! While I never wish divorce on anyone...if you have to go through the ordeal I highly recommend Julia.

Wonderful Mediator!

We chose Julia because of the amazing reviews we had read, and she did not disappoint. She was attentive, friendly, and patient as she helped us work through our separation agreement. I very much appreciated her ability to explain things to us in simple terms, help us understand the "norm", and her w...illingness to support us when we chose to do things a bit outside the box. She uses a sliding scale, which seems just and equitable and, even though we were at the high end of that scale, she ended up being much cheaper than the other mediators we met with in the Boston area. I strongly recommend!

Julia's professionalism and demeanor are exactly what a couple going through this need

Julia was extremely knowledgeable, patient and responsive. Her professionalism and demeanor are exactly what a couple going through this need ... attentive, direct but empathetic and manages the process at your pace. If yours is a situation where mediation is a possibility, I recommend Julia and her ...team wholeheartedly. You will also have the benefit of a more cost-effective option that provides the desired outcome.

Extremely Helpful

My ex-husband and I sought Julia's services after she was referred to us by a friend who is also a lawyer. We knew we wanted to divorce and knew we wanted to do so as amicably as possible, but we had some sticking points and really needed help sorting out our family home, his business, a custody agre...ement, and child support. Julia was efficient, extremely knowledgable, and made sur that both parties felt heard. She guided us every step of the way and made sure that no stone was left unturned. Without her help and the final product of our separation agreement I know that my ex and I would have had many disagreements and hardships. Her help and the agreement paved the way for a low-stress divorce and a co-parenting plan that is still serving us well nearly 8 years later.
