It is such an advantage that Robert is both a lawyer and an MFT. My wife and I have a mutual/amicable divorce, and Robert walked us through all of the details and potential pratfalls with confidence and good humor. He was great for our situation, and I imagine he would be equally capable with more complex separations.
Robert was a close family friend who we engaged to mediate our divorce. Very sensitive issues and strong emotions were involved so it was risky to employ a friend, but we trusted Robert's fairness, sensitivity, and professionalism. He deftly navigated us through rocky waters such that my ex and myself are able to cooperatively co-parent with a minimum of acrimony, which has been a huge benefit to our son. And our friendship with Robert thankfully survived the experience. I am forever grateful and happy to recommend his services.
Robert is both a licensed attorney and family therapist who has been practicing understanding-based mediation for 12 years in a variety of family and legal settings. He is committed to helping people work through legal problems and preserving relationships.

Great...balanced and resourceful
My ex and I had as good a mediation as I think possible, given the circumstances. Robert was very balanced, and quite skilled at keeping us focused on the issues and coming to agreements. He was very impartial. I also really appreciated the wisdom and advice he offered as far as helping our kids get through divorce.
