Being an attorney for close to 30 years, I had been almost constantly frustrated with the litigation and court process. I witnessed clients struggle with huge financial costs, emotional wear and tear, fighting, and unpredictable rulings that characterize the litigation process. This is why I founded Affordable Mediation.
Since 2010, Affordable Mediation’s mediators have been using our legal backgrounds, counseling skills, and Mediation training to help divorcing couples move forward with their lives. We believe that families can emerge from a divorce better than they were before. We have mediated well over 2000 divorce cases with almost every case finding a mutually acceptable settlement and avoiding court and the stress of litigation.
After opening our doors in our first North Central Phoenix office in 2010, we’ve been fortunate to expand to other locations in the West Valley (Goodyear, then Avondale) and East Valley (Tempe) to better serve couples in different parts of our Phoenix valley. Also, we’ve added quite a team since then, including our experienced Mediators Nicole Pelcic and Shahnaz Stanley, our intern and Mediator, Lorena Benítez Garzón who established the Spanish speaking side of our business (and has relocated back to Ecuador, but still is available remotely), to now adding a Divorce Coach and mediator, Karen Dorsey. Our expanded team is here to help couples and families transition to a healthier future.
