How to Prepare for Mediation Day:

“Melinda and her team are amazing at what they do. They made the entire process very smooth and easy to navigate through. They are extremely professional and very quick to respond.”

~ Justin C.

Divorce doesn’t have to be a battle.

I’ve been helping people through divorce long enough to see a lot of cases end in tragedy – even in the cases my clients are supposedly “winning.”

The truth is that the other person doesn’t have to lose for you to win.

Divorce mediation is your chance to keep control.

Instead of picking up the sword, let’s sit down together and find common ground.

These discussions are not going to be easy, but they’re the best way to empower you to come to an agreement that works best for both parties – and for your children.

Meet your Navigator:

Melinda O’Dell,

Mediation Attorney

I’ve helped people through just about every kind of divorce you can imagine. And I’ve been doing it long enough to have a pretty detailed map.

I know where the pitfalls are, where the arguments happen, and where you’ll be likely to stumble.

My job isn’t to make decisions for you: it’s to be your trusted guide through the mediation process, and walk with you every step of the way.

If you’ve chosen mediation – you’ve already taken the most important step.

Your Mission,

Should You Choose to Accept It:

STEP ONE

PICK YOUR PLAYER

Both parties know they want to mediate.

Schedule a consultation and we’ll get all of your information on file.

If you’re not sure the other party will agree to mediation, we’ll discuss next steps (i.e., provide your spouse more information about the process, or ask the court for an order of mediation).

STEP TWO

LAUNCH

Once everyone’s on board, we’ll schedule the mediation and give you the tools we need to get started.

It can be dangerous to go it alone…
But I’m here to be your Cortana, your Navi, your JARVIS – to help you get to the other side.

“Melinda was an amazing attorney. She was always there for me, and she understood and knew exactly what I wanted for my kids. I am very satisfied with how everything was handled and couldn't have chosen a better attorney to represent me. Her paralegal was also a great help throughout the process with how he would answer any questions or concerns I had. I couldn't ask for a better team!”
