Advising and Representing You… if you are in mediation with another neutral mediator

If you are already in mediation or considering mediation, you might benefit from a consultation with Mr. Mosten to help you better understand the mediation process and  the legal issues involved in a divorce. As an expert in mediation, Mr. Mosten will help you decide what to ask for and how to ask for it in negotiations with your spouse. Rather than upsetting the deal, Mr. Mosten views his role as informing you of the benefits and problems of the agreements made in mediation and suggesting tweaks and modifications if necessary, He will also review the final paperwork. If you request, Mr. Mosten can also be present in the mediation session and represent you in a supportive and collaborative manner.
