Kimberly Potter Fauss

Kimberly Fauss sets the standard in the mediation industry. I was involved in a very contentious and highly emotional divorce. My divorce lawyer at the time was simply not capable of handling the high frustrations or emotions. Kim was able to mediate a highly charged divorce into a successful outcom...e. I was also able to avoid court and the expense of litigation as a result of her mediation ability. The opportunity to achieve an amicable outcome without all the added legal expense usually associated with a divorce was one of the best outcomes for us. The tools Kim gave us to work with also have allowed my ex-wife and I to enjoy a very pleasant relationship. I would highly recommend Ms. Fauss to anyone in need of effective mediation.

Mrs. Fauss was with me every step of the way providing valuable information about the Collaborative Divorce process. Divorce is a very emotional time for anyone; with her help and guidance I was able to clearly understand the process and was able to deal with my emotions and find a new path for s...tarting again. I can not thank her enough. Due to her efforts we were able to end our marriage without anger and resentment in a timely manner. I would (and have) recommend Kimberly Fauss.

Kimberly was extremely professional, knowledgable and frankly very empathetic to my situation. I had a very complex divorce involving intricate financials, custody of my children and protecting my future. I researched dozens lawyers, interview 8 of them and picked Kim. She knows the collaborative f...amily law process better than anyone. While getting divorced is extremely unpleasant, having Kim guide me through this was a Godsend. I've heard from friends their attorney's "disappear" for long stretches of time - not so with Kim. She was on top of all the details and was enormously responsive to me. When tensions ran high, Kim was able to diffuse that in a really productive way without giving up what was important to me. In the end, I ended up protecting the things that mattered most to me.

Atrocious group facilitation skills, seemingly more interested in following predefined process/timeline and ramming numbers through a standard method than allowing us to fully understand our options, deal with inevitable emotional challenges, and come to our own understandings and solution. Terrible ...attention to detail, poor grammar, and lack of clarity in writing -- I haven't seen such poor writing since grading papers from beginning community college students. The amount of editing required was completely unacceptable for a "professional," particularly one whose living depends in large part on the written word. By the time I realized what had occurred and started learning about other options that were never discussed, it was clear that we had wasted thousands of dollars. Everything was re-started from scratch. Would I recommend this lawyer for mediation? The answer is pretty clear.
