Expert, Compassionate Guidance

Anthony is an expert, guiding resource in the difficult world of divorce — and on top of that, he is caring and compassionate and easy to speak with. I learned so much more in our initial consultation than I had even expected. He answered all my questions, provided clear insight into my particular ca...se and left me with clear next steps to keep my case moving along. I cannot recommend his services enough.

Thank you so much, Matt. I’m glad I could provide clarity and direction when you needed it most. Helping people navigate divorce with understanding, practical guidance, and a clear path forward is at the heart of what I do. I wish you the very best as you move ahead. The Best to You, Anthony

Lead us to a Resolution | Avoided Trial

Anthony was assigned to us by the court to lead our conciliation, serving as a final attempt to resolve our issues before going to trial. After nearly two years of intense litigation and conflict, our meetings with Anthony became a pivotal turning point. From the start, it was clear that he was well-...prepared, having thoroughly understood our history and the complexities of our case. Anthony brought extensive experience and a deep knowledge of the court system. He demonstrated remarkable instincts and intuition. He skillfully balanced supporting each party individually while also creating a safe and open space for all of us to come together. Anthony knew how to guide us through emotionally charged issues by seamlessly switching gears, offering solutions or delivering tough truths when necessary. I am incredibly grateful to have had Anthony as our conciliator. His professionalism and expertise made all the difference in helping us reach a resolution and ultimately avoiding going to trial. I highly recommend Anthony!

Very professional and helpful!

From the moment I reached out for help Anthony was very responsive, helpful, and very professional. Divorce is never something anyone wants to go through so finding a mediator that was so attentive and sincere was a big plus for me. I am very grateful for all of Anthony's knowledge and guidance alon...g the way. I would definitely recommend Anthony's services to anyone looking. Thank you!

Highly Recommended!

It was Anthony's demeanor on my first research call that led me to meet with and hire him and to have faith in the collaborative divorce process. At the time, I wasn't sure which type of divorce would be best. The white paper available on his website really helped me to understand. I was a little con...cerned since he does charge for the first consultation unlike others. However, during that first face to face visit, I realized that he was adept not only in the collaborative process but also had experience as a mediator. He listened carefully and due to his many years of experience, made a spot-on assessment of my marital situation after a mere half hour. He walked me through the process and let me choose mediated or collaborative, yet he gave me the right clues to make the best decision. I really felt like he knew his stuff and I could trust him to get this done in an cost efficient yet effective way. I hired him right then.The divorce process isn’t easy, but Anthony always kept his cool, made it simple at the core, and advocated the best for me during the Collaborative Divorce Process. I really appreciated that.

Thank you Brenda, Clients have always been very appreciative of how I handle their Divorce Consultation. My goal is to answer all questions, no matter how long it takes, and to suggest the best divorce process. Divorce is difficult and I try to make it a little easier with information that is helpful and often necessary. Good luck to you. Anthony
