Ms. Weinberg is an experienced, well-qualified, knowledgeable, and compassionate family law mediator. I have had the pleasure of representing several clients who have mediated their cases with Ms. Weinberg. Parties can attend mediation with or without counsel present. In either scenario, Ms. Weinberg ensures that all parties feel comfortable and engaged in the mediation process. She understands the complicated dynamics that are involved in divorce and custody cases. She communicates with parties and counsel in a respectful and effective manner. Many cases have avoided trial thanks to Ms. Weinberg's mediation skills. I highly recommend her to colleagues, friends, and family.

An excellent lawyer who treats clients with patience, care, understanding, and utmost professionalism - an even better person and I wholeheartedly recommend for future services.
Nicholas Gaunt, Divorce and separation Attorney on Feb 21, 2018
Relationship: Worked together on matter
I recently worked with Ms. Weinberg on a complex interstate SAPCR / divorce matter crossing multiple jurisdictions and involving military law and also a school district. I have found Ms. Weinberg to be a rare cocktail of zealous advocate and gracious professional. She has a firm grasp of the dynamic issues that our clients confront when they are ambushed by their spouse and find themselves in need of representation. In our profession, it is rare to characterize an experience with a colleague as delightful, but that is exactly what my experience with this attorney has been. Within moments of reaching out to me, I found myself (literally!) completing her sentences as we fell into step about how to represent our client. Highly recommended.

Jolie (successfully) wears many hats in her practice in Family Law. Jolie is child-focused, creative and savy when focusing on settlement negotiations; she is technically precise when drafting or editing Retirement Orders; and she is a fierce advocate for her clients when litigation is necessary. Most importantly, Jolie understands her clients' needs and concerns, which allows her to keep her clients informed and calm throughout their particular process.
