Mediation

Los Angeles Divorce Mediation Lawyer

Divorce and family law matters are not like other types of legal disputes. The person on the other side of the courtroom is someone that you know intimately and, especially if you have children, will be a part of your life for many years to come. The decisions you make during this difficult time will have a lifelong impact on you and your children.

Attorney Judith C. Nesburn has more than 20 years of experience representing men and women throughout the Greater Los Angeles area in divorce and family law disputes. The combination of her legal expertise and her prior years of experience as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker uniquely qualifies Judith as an effective advocate and compassionate ally for her family law clients. Please contact Judith to discuss how you can use Mediation to resolve your divorce or family law matter.

The mediation process is specifically designed to create an environment for healthy, constructive decision making during this difficult time. In mediation, I act as a neutral third-party who uses communication skills and my knowledge of the law to help you and your spouse reach agreements which will work best for both of you now and in the future. As mediator, my role is to help both of you gather whatever information is necessary, to understand your needs and priorities and to help you consider constructive alternatives in creating your own agreement. After the agreement is signed by the Judge, it will become enforceable by the court. Mediation is generally a less stressful, costly, adversarial and time consuming process.

If you need additional help or information to reach agreement, you can jointly hire accountants, appraisers, child development specialists or any other professionals to enhance the mediation process. In addition, each of you can, but are not required to, retain consulting attorneys to help you through the process or to review your final agreement before sending it to the Court. Usually these attorneys do not attend the sessions with you.

I have many years of experience guiding divorcing couples through the mediation process. I am also happy to work as a consulting attorney to parties who are going through mediation with another mediator. I welcome the opportunity to meet with you and your spouse to discuss whether the mediation process is right for you.

At the Law and Mediation Offices of Judith C. Nesburn, located in Los Angeles, I focus on alternative dispute resolution in all divorce and family law matters, including mediation as a means of amicably resolving domestic disputes. Please contact me to schedule a confidential meeting to learn how you can resolve your family law matters with sensitivity, dignity and mutual respect.
