We are honored to work with so many people and help them achieve their best alternative and enable them to seize control of their lives so they can move forward empowered.
We didn't want to cause more pain to our kids us by fighting so we started looking for an alternative to the usual angry way that people get divorced. Wemet with JoAnna and Cristina and learned of the benefits of mediation (which were many). What appealed to us most were privacy and maintaining a positive relationship since we have children.
Ms. Barnes gave me a wealth of information concerning my legal rights if I were to dissolve my marriage. I now feel confident that I will make rational financial decisions not based on fear. So thankful for the support of So. O. C. Mediation they heard my concerns and their services were much more affordable than lawyer fees
Best mediator ever! So thoughtful really helped calm the situation down and help us get to a good resolution. Didn’t have to waste money on attorneys and court so I’m a happy camper.
JoAnna and Cristina are a wonderful resource. They have seen it all and can give professional perspective and guidance. I really love how their goal is to achieve cooperation and health for both parties involved.
Literally lifesavers! The only mediators you will ever need. When I was feeling lost and had no idea what to do, they were able to help us reach the best possible outcome. They listen to the wants and needs of all parties involved while saving us money and time on legal fees.
I had heard all the horror stories of divorces taking years- it took us four mediation sessions and we were able to address and settle all our issues. While divorce is tough, mediation turned out to be the best option because we were able to sit down and work through things and know at the end of each session where we stood. It felt good to be in control of our own decisions and to know why we made them.
My ex and I agreed early on that we didn't want to drag out our divorce and spend our entire savings fighting in court. A friend referred us to Cristina and JoAnna and they were great! The unique thing about South Orange County Mediation is that they work in a dual mediator model so you always feel that the mediation is balanced and fair. And, it’s pay as you go, no retainers, and no surprise huge bill at the end. We wrapped up the divorce in three sessions and then we did our own paperwork and filed it with the courts.
Lousy situation, but when you need help like this you want a service that is fair, effective and delivers a result in a contentious situation. They did exactly this. Thank you ladies.
JoAnna and Cristina helped me prepare a formulate what I needed to present and communicate in court. They explained what to expect and the proper way to act in court. I am so grateful and happy that I trusted their advice. Thank you South Orange County Mediation, you’re the best! I won my case thanks to you!
My husband refused to mediate and got a lawyer. I couldn't afford one…JoAnna and Cristina coached me through the process and helped me understand what I could realistically expect and what I could ask for (despite my husband telling me that I wasn't entitled to anything and had me scared of losing custody if I didn't accept his terms). They kept me strong and focused. I am so grateful to have met them.
Although, it’s unfortunate I’m in need of mediation, I got a really good vibe from the first phone call. I only post reviews when I’m really impressed or really annoyed and I must say Ms. Wilson took a very unpleasant situation and made it tolerable. Definitely 5 stars!
