Kimberly Potter Fauss

Kimberly was thoroughly professional and she deserves much credit for "keeping the boat steady" in some turbulent waters. Her extensive experience with collaboration and her skill at keeping our discussion centered on our children and the best long-term interests of all parties was especially apprec...iated. She was "no-nonsense" when necessary, but also represented me with the right mix of compassion and careful attention to detail.

I recommend her without reservations. She is an excellent attorney who brings a unique focus on helping the parties not only acheive a property settlement, but also work through the complex emotional issues that make a separation and divorce so difficult. Her focus is on healing and helping people... through what is an inherently difficult process.

Kimberly brought little to the table other than a "process". We literally read through a document at our first meeting that we all had well in advance to understand the mediation process which was a waste of all of the participants time and money. She was not very helpful in offering suggestions/dire...ction and was slow to respond to my questions, frequently calling me late on a Friday afternoon while on her way out of town with uninformed answers. I negotiated the terms of the divorce directly with the ex and felt like I paid Kim to be nothing more than a glorified cheerleader.

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.

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.
