His Mediation style offers a way to resolve conflicts and create an agreement that meets your needs. His focus on CALIFORNIA DIVORCE MEDIATION offers couples a way to move forward with Peace of Mind, Dignity and Confidence. His end goal is a mutually acceptable agreement between spouses regarding assets, debts, parenting plans for both two and four legged children, child/spousal support, modifications of any existing court orders and other matters of importance to you.

Cost of Divorce Mediation:

That doesn’t mean there won’t be conflicts or challenges – but Bill’s style of mediation will help both of you overcome those challenges and end your relationship in the fairest way possible – with an outcome you both control and decided.

With this in mind Bill uses a gentle but no nonsense approach and commitment to the mediation process that is all about getting both parties to the table to work through to a mutually acceptable agreement. He only accepts clients who are committed to avoiding the high cost, time and continued stress of divorce litigation – which inevitably saves you time, money and personal stress. Each session is 3 hour’s and multiple sessions (the same day, week, month, quarter) may be required depending on each families unique personal needs. Session fees are $550 per session and a sliding fee scale is available on a case-by-case basis to the economically challenged members of our community.
