Mr. Mosten and his trained and caring staff will focus on your goals and personal needs while controlling costs and emotional stress.

Mr. Mosten’s clients generally face complex property and support issues and/or delicate issues involving parenting their children.

Mr. Mosten utilizes his extensive mediation and negotiation experience to offer clients high quality professional services both as a Certified Family Law Specialist and as a mediator.

After agreement is reached, our office will prepare all court papers, deeds and other documents. We offer parties the opportunity to have lawyers and other professionals participate.

“Says Forrest S. Woody Mosten of Los Angeles, a strong proponent of mediation, it is a "bottom-up" rather than a "bottom-down" process that allows a divorcing couple to determine more directly the course of their lives.”

Forrest S. Mosten
