Alimony Mediator-Great Job

I had a very positive experience working with Tamara during my alimony adjustment mediation. She was knowledgeable and helpful throughout, and taking the time to explain things clearly and ensured I felt heard. Her responses were thoughtful and fair, and I appreciated her insight and professionalism.... I would highly recommend Tamara to anyone needing a balanced and effective mediator.

Excellent, Knowledgeable, and Great to work with!!!

Tamara was amazing!! She did something that I thought would not be possible and helped completely resolve all open issues in my case. She helped make a stressful situation very easy and calm. She was very fair and reasonable for both sides, which allowed us to compromise and do what was best for all ...parties involved. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a fair and reasonable outcome.

Superior Mediator

Tamara is one of the top mediators I have had the pleasure of dealing with. With 23 years of domestic practice I have seen my share. Tamara tackled a case headed for trial which I felt there was no hope of settling without the bloodletting of a nasty court battle. Her sweet demeanor and can do att...itude coaxed an entrenched party on her fifth attorney to a settlement my client could only dream of before walking into Tamara's office. Tamara's warm and charming personality combined with her 18 years of practice and her PhD, are a winning combination and was key to a successful resolution of a bitter post divorce case that had been dragging on for over 2 years. Her services were well worth every dime of her fee and then some.

Like a dream. Really.

Tamara mediated for me yesterday. I felt very stressed when I arrived at her office. I had no idea what kind of mediator I would be working with but I only hoped they would be good. In the first 10 seconds after meeting her my anxiety dropped. After an hour I had to interrupt her to say how I was... distracted by the high quality of work she was doing. And by the end I made a special point to tell her that I was amazed that I had worked with the best possible mediator I could image! She was so well qualified that I had confidence from the start that she would be respected and insightful. She made many suggestions that were so helpful for the negotiation. She made others that will be pay dividends years into my future. But what mattered the most in the moment was that her way of communicating put me at ease. I really trusted her and she never gave me pause. In the end the work she accomplished was every bit what I had hoped for. In short she was excellent in every way. In fact it went so well yesterday it now seems like a dream.
