What Our Clients Say

We used compassionate divorce to mediate our divorce. First I have to say is they were great to work with. I felt comfortable working with Joanne and Jeff. They use a unique process where Joanne's firm provides the professional services of a psychologist. At first I have to say I was skeptical until I met Jeff, who was a great man. Jeff remains very neutral but is really there to help guide you through the emotional parts of a divorce. Yes his services aren't free, but I realized he helped talk me through some complicated feelings over the whole divorce. Joanne on the other hand is astute. She is organized, in her processes and has lots of ideas from lots of experience. Their team is not cheap, but as a business owner myself you get what you pay for. I would not hesitate to recommend them again and appreciate them.
