Don't Find Fault, Find A Remedy  - Henry Ford

​The Esrey Mediation Philosophy


Conflict is inevitable albeit, stressful. As a mediator, I can help you navigate difficult times successfully so you can transition into a better point in life. With over twenty years of mediation experience, I work to help maintain and strengthen relationships among family members, spouses, children, teachers, and colleagues.

Mediation is effective with:
  • divorce/separation
  • co-parenting plans 
  • blended/step families
  • parenting plan modifications
  • special needs or difficult children
  • probate/estate
  • elder care
  • business/employee conflict
  • improve/maintain communication

Mediation services are a healthier and cheaper alternative to costly and contentious litigation. Mediation lets people determine their own outcome with dignity and privacy. Relationships can be preserved (even ameliorated). Issues addressed in mediation are not limited to legal relevance so that you can do more than courts allow. Mediation is faster, cheaper and less stressful than hiring opposing lawyers to settle your dispute. 

Mediation is a comprehensive, private and civil approach to resolving disputes. If you're interested in a long-term, workable solution for your conflict, please contact Esrey Mediation at [email protected].

Mediation Benefits 

Mediation is a peaceful way to resolve conflict where parties control their fate. People who work together tend to craft a more equitable resolution and are more likely to abide by it.

In litigation, attorneys and a judge decide your fate. There is often one winner and one loser. Litigation is costly in time, money, and emotional toll. Parties often feel increased animosity toward each other as they defend themselves in a public courtroom. Mediation is the antithesis of litigation.
