I work with couples who are seeking a divorce to assist them in reaching an agreement. I also assist non-married or same-sex couples in dividing their assets, or reaching an agreement regarding paternity. I have also assisted couples with post-divorce issues.

Fair and balanced

Pat performed the role of mediator and prepared our divorce/separation agreement. She has command of the laws and issues and presents them in a clear and concise way. I think she treated each party fairly and help negotiate a solid agreement.

Personal injury case - great results.

I worked with Pat on a personal injury case in which I was hit by a car while jogging. I contacted her and she was extremely efficient with the casework, kept me informed every step of the way, answered all my questions, and I felt very confident about the case in her hands. She responded to voicemai...ls and emails within just a day or two. I am glad to have worked with her and would recommend her to anyone in the North Shore Massachusetts area considering a personal injury case.

An excellent mediator

Pat handled our divorce mediation this past year. Even though we were in agreement over most details she was an impartial voice of reason when we needed it. She was extremely professional yet I felt like I was sitting down with a friend at each of our meetings. She is very knowledgeable and explai...ned things in simple, understandable terms. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to dissolve a marriage in the friendliest way possible.

I would recommend Patricia Watson to anyone who is considering mediation

Divorce is such a traumatic experience in someones life. We wanted our divorce to go as smoothly and peacefully as possible for the sake of our kids. Someone recommended mediation to us and we found Patricia Watson in the yellow pages. She is very smart and knowledgeable. She explains everything t...o you in simple terminology that we could understand. She answered every phone call or email promptly. She took so much of the stress out of this situation for us. We would highly recommend Patricia Watson to anyone who is interested in mediation.
