Joy S. Rosenthal

Joy worked with me as a review attorney for my separation agreement. She was recommended to me by my mediator, and she was excellent. When things turned sideways and my ex spouse started acting erratically and unreasonably, Joy was direct and gave me sound advice on next steps. Ultimately, her... advice directly led to a finalized separation agreement that I’m very happy with. I’d definitely recommend Joy as both a mediator and a review attorney for agreements mediated by others.

Joy and her staff were key to helping me feel empowered as I got my separation started, a very difficult move. I especially appreciated her inclusiveness of my LGBTQ marriage and family structure, and her ability to create a safe, private place for me to brainstorm collaborative options for separatio...n.

Joy was extremely professional and attentive to both side's needs as we drafted our prenuptial agreement before our wedding. She asked all the right questions to get both side's perspectives, informed us when she was acting as mediator vs. describing the actual law, and made sure we were both happy ...with each negotiated issue. The collaborative approach really helped us through the process and ultimately led to a very fair and balanced agreement. Joy drafted the agreement and our two individually hired attorneys had little comments on her draft. I'd highly recommend the collaborative process with Joy. Not only will you leave with a fair document, you will have a very well defined framework for choices regarding finances, income, spending and saving.
