Read feedback from our referrers and clients
We refer clients to Mediation for Families when for whatever reason, the court process is not suited to our clients interests. We have found them to be reasonably priced, professional and successful in facilitating the parties to reach agreement.
Our lawyer referred our matter to Mediation for Families. Despite past agreements with family members about our elderly parents, siblings were constantly in conflict. We were able to come to succinct and clear agreement about their care.
The mediation process was less daunting that what I imagined. The online component and cost savings were certainly helpful and the mediator was friendly but firm, guiding us to communicate better and prioritise our children. Thank you
Professional, dedicated and experienced mediator. We were able to resolve many issues in the lead up to the threat of litigation. Needless to say we saved time, money and potential uncertainty by having the court deal with the disputes at hand.
