Our Philosophy and Our Team Approach to Mediation
At A Smarter Divorce, we believe mediation is the most effective and cost-conscious path for many families navigating separation and divorce. Rather than placing important decisions in the hands of a judge, mediation empowers couples to work together to create personalized solutions that fit their unique circumstances.
With decades of combined experience in mediation, litigation, and collaborative divorce, Leslie and Doug help clients reach practical, lasting agreements while minimizing conflict, stress, and unnecessary expense. When needed, they collaborate with trusted professionals—including child specialists, financial experts, and real estate professionals—to ensure families have the guidance they need to move forward with confidence.
