Testimonials From Mediation Clients...

"I would not want Oran Kaufman's job as divorce mediator! But I will say, if someone's got to do it, Oran is the one! He does it well, with compassion, skill, fairness, and intelligence. He has the ability to look beyond the strong emotions and see the issues at hand. This allows people to feel safe, and work efficiently towards resolution. I recommend him highly."

                                               ***************

We were looking for a divorce that was as economical and fast as possible. Oran Kaufman gave us exactly what we wanted. He conducted himself professionally at all times. He didn't waste any time. He made the process easy and skillfully guided us through any disagreements. He saw us in the evening so we didn't have to miss work. I have never been to court and he was very thorough with his instructions about what to do so all would run smoothly. Even the court secretary said that she likes when Oran's clients come because she knows the paperwork will be in order. Everything did go smoothly. You will not be disappointed with Oran Kaufman as your mediator.

He provided us with timely information and guidance with regard to the steps in the process, including what forms we would be required to complete and how to prepare them for the court.

From Divorce Clients...

"My experience with Oran Kaufman was everything I could have hoped for in the context of my divorce. Having never had to go through the process before, Mr. Kaufman proved to be clear, knowledgeable and willing to meet our particular needs with professionalism and understanding. I suspect without his help, my divorce would not have been as smooth as it was."

***************

"Oran represented me in connection with my uncontested divorce. I wasn't in my right mind at the time and I probably would have signed anything sent by my wife's lawyer just to get through the legal minefield called "divorce". Oran saved me from making a huge mistake that would have had long-lasting consequences. His gentle guidance made all the difference.""

***************

"I cannot thank Oran Kaufman enough for his help in our divorce settlement.

Without his services I could not have navigated through the maze of paperwork required by law. Oran is a great lawyer. He looks out for his clients not simply by being aggressive (as I had imagined lawyers to be) but by being a goodListener.   Oran is detail-oriented, and has a razor-sharp ability to catch problem areas in documents.  He is also extremely efficient with his time and focused in his assistance both in meetings as well as email, which is something I really appreciated since every minute he spent for me translated quite literally into money that came out of my constrained pocketbook.  His easy office-manners, and a great sense of humor, proved to be very reassuring during our meetings, and made the difficult work I was doing feel smoother. I am most impressed by Oran’s humanity. His deep compassion for clients and their complicated life decisions makes me imagine him as a wonderful friend to have.

His services and style persuade me that working with a mediation lawyer is probably the most efficient and humane way of making good legal choices and still staying emotionally healthy during the otherwise muddy process of a divorce. "
