Facing divorce is overwhelming, but it doesn’t have to mean a courtroom ’m Jessica Lastarza, attorney, certified mediator, and founder of We Mediate, LLC. I help couples restructure their families with dignity, clarity, and purpose, without stepping into a courtroom.
With over 20 years of legal experience, I’ve advised clients in family law, estate planning, tax, business, and real estate. I draw on this diverse background to help you resolve custody, support, and property issues in a practical and respectful way. I’m certified in both Divorce Mediation (Connecticut Council for Non-Adversarial Divorce) and Collaborative Divorce (Collaborative Practice Training Institute), allowing me to offer multiple peaceful paths forward.
At We Mediate, I practice the 4 Es:
I believe the best results come from thoughtful, mediated solutions. Whether you're seeking a fair settlement or building a healthy co-parenting plan, I'm here to guide you through it. I'm also a proud mother of three, so I understand how personal this is—and how important it is to get it right.
Let’s move forward together.
