"You were the voice of calm and reason at a time I needed it the most. I thoroughly  appreciated your help in assisting me in working through my separation. With your guidance I was able to accept the circumstances of a difficult situation".

"First of all, a very big thank you for bringing closure to such a complicated and unpredictable process. I thought your management of Friday’s session was nothing short of brilliant, starting with the articulation of issues, to the summaries of the NFP. These efforts allowed for a quick and agreeable resolution. I think we were all quite amazed at how easily the proceedings came to an end.

Although I am saddened and a little bit in shock, I am also grateful for the love and respect that remains between my former spouse and me. We have both done well, for each other and our family.
​
In closing, my observation is that you are gifted, compassionate and adept at your work Deborah. Your talent and touch are indeed special. I appreciate the kindness you demonstrated from beginning to end. Thank you again for your creative thinking and many excellent efforts."
