Compassionate & insightful

Compassionate and insightful are the two words that come to mind when describing our interactions with Michael Dwyer. My ex-husband and I had been trying for months to reach a divorce agreement to no avail. Someone recommended Michael Dwyer. Michael, within an hour or so of talking to us, was able to... recognize what was holding each of us back. He worked with us, separately and together, helping us reach an agreement very speedily; one that worked for both of us. He also went out of his way to make sure that the divorce paperwork was filed before he left on vacation. I highly recommend Michael Dwyer. He will work with you with compassion and insight. He will help you transcend your current anger and bitterness and reach an agreement that you can live with years down the road! FYI – our divorce was finalized in Sep 2019. Thank you, Michael!

Competent, compassionate, and phenomenal mediator -- highly recommend

Michael Dwyer was better than I anticipated. He's very experienced, level-headed and knowledgeable. The thing that stuck out the most to me during the divorce/mediation process was that he prioritized our child. My ex and I may no longer be married, but our child still has both of us as parents, ...and Michael understood and prioritized this fact -- many decisions relied on this important foundation of our daughter's future. This seemed to arise from his experience with helping others get through divorce and also his experience as a parent. I felt that Michael brought a much needed balance to the table: compassionate and logical, courteous and stern, and through such an unpleasant situation, he was efficient and did not waste our time. It was not fun or easy, after all, it is a divorce. However, I feel incredibly indebted to Michael for how he made such an unpleasant life experience as smooth as he could, fair with compromises on both sides, and was always on the job with his listening, mediating, and legal progress to get us divorced.

Kind, supportive and patient

Going through a divorce - especially when it's not something you ever imagined happening, can be brutal and devastating. Michael and Jane went out of their way to make things as easy as possible for us. Cost wise it was surprisingly affordable—something I put down to Michael's intuition and gift as a... mediator. He made us both feel heard and validated. He did not rush us and was patience personified. Michael's kindness throughout this difficult process is something I will never forget. I highly recommend Dwyer Mediation.

Awesome job, highly recommend.

Divorcing after 33 years of marriage can be very draining emotionally and financially. Michael did an amazing job throughout the mediation process at a fraction of the cost of an adversarial divorce. He is very professional, knowledgeable, efficient, caring, and impartial. If tension would build ...up during mediation, Michael did an awesome job at helping my former husband and I find a solution that we were both satisfied with. The whole process went very smoothly and I highly recommend his mediation services.

A Safe and Helpful Resource

Michael was a comforting and very effective presence during my mediation. Both my wife and I moved very quickly into reconciliation thanks to his warm efficiency.
