About Michael

Michael is a former corporate executive who went through a litigated divorce and vowed to transition his career to divorce mediation as a result. He saw firsthand the impact of a litigated divorce on his own children, and he vowed to help other families get through a divorce in a more amicable way, with good co-parents, so the family could remain connected as a family, just in a different way. Michael has his CPA and is very adept at helping couples with the financial decisions they need to make during and after their divorce, but his passion is working with parents and helping them to divorce while building a strong co-parent relationship. Michael cares, is passionate about helping others, understands what they are going through, and is driven to help them divorce in a healthy way at a significantly lower cost than litigation.
