Mediation for Divorce and Other Matters

Ellice Halpern

I want to thank my colleague Ellice Halpern for writing about The Guide to Low-Cost Divorce in Virginia on her Little Falls Mediation website. While my focus is solely on family mediation, Ellice offers mediation services for a wide variety of other disputes. Mediation is a private, confidential process for resolving disputes outside of court.
