Mark Berson & His Approach
During the mediation process, I will:
- Encourage a voluntary, cooperative settlement process in which I as a neutral professional help you make practical, informed decisions to resolve your differences
- Help you define the issues to be settled
- Gather and analyze the necessary information and create a fair and reasonable agreement which the court will approve
- Draft the necessary Court papers in order for you to be divorced or modify your existing agreement
