Going through any separation is tough, including a business separation. Michelle was very helpful in helping us navigate how to communicate to get this done in a timely manner. I had never used a mediator before and knew with past communication issues, this was the best way to move forward.

While I was nervous about inviting a third party, I was very pleased with how she cared for us, wanting and needing to get important matters completed.
