Divorce Mediation Focuses on Communication and Compromise
At Susan Wakefield Mediation in Westport, Connecticut, I know how divorce can be both emotionally, financially, and legally challenging. That is why I offer personalized mediation services to help couples explore mutually acceptable options. Through communication and compromise couples negotiate and reach an agreement in their divorce process. My divorce mediation services are affordable and tailored to my client’s needs.
Empowering couples to navigate through their divorce and reach an agreement without lawyers or going to court!
Divorce can be a complicated, expensive, and overwhelming process. I am an attorney with more than 35 years of experience mediating divorces between couples to help them reach an agreement without going to court.
I am an active member of the Connecticut Bar Association and the Academy of Professional Family Mediators. I volunteer my time to local organizations by providing their clients with pro bono legal services.
I offer personalized à la carte legal services to fit your needs and your budget. Flexible payment plans are also available.
