Mediation

The vast majority of divorce and child custody cases

are resolved through Mediation, with no trial needed.

As your Mediator, Stephen Putonti will facilitate negotiations by helping the parties explore options, consider the strengths and weaknesses of their cases, and weigh the costs and benefits of settlement versus litigation.
