Mediation is a calm, civil, private — and almost always less expensive — way to work out a divorce or separation agreement.

When you work with Michael Becker, a trained and experienced attorney mediator, he helps you to work out a fair and fully enforceable legal agreement. You make your agreement based on full disclosure, in a private, safe and confidential setting without any pressure.

Most important, in mediation you work out a customized agreement which reflects your needs and values. And your agreement can cover all issues or just a few. It’s your choice.

Compare mediation to working with attorneys through court litigation, where you’re bound by court rules and the rules of evidence. In mediation, those rules can be tailored to better suit your needs. So you can tell your story, be heard and develop an agreement that works best for you.

Your mediation is complete when you’re comfortable with your whole agreement. The mediator won’t force a settlement on you, nor will a judge or other outsider.
