Why Choose NEO Family Law?

When it comes to family law, choosing the right professionals can make all the difference. At Northeast Ohio Family Law and Mediation LLC, we offer a specialized, comprehensive, and client-focused approach that sets us apart from other options. Family law is our primary focus, not a side practice, meaning we bring depth, experience, and know-how to every case. Our team is dedicated to achieving solutions that are legally sound, practical, and tailored to the unique needs of each client.

Proficiency That Matters

Our mediator is not just a mediator—she is a credentialed family law attorney with extensive knowledge of Ohio family law that she brings to the negotiation table. She understands the legal, financial, and emotional complexities that come with divorce, dissolution, custody, and support matters. With recognized accomplishments and memberships in accredited family law institutions, she is a trusted leader in the field. She knows how to identify complex legal and financial issues and offers creative solutions based on years of experience.

Our mediator also stands out due to her accolades and accomplishments in family law, including:

Certified Specialist in Family Relations Law by the Ohio State Bar Association.
Fellow of the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers (AAML), a distinction held by top family law attorneys nationwide.
Consistently recognized in The Best Lawyers in America and Ohio Super Lawyers.
Active member of professional family law organizations including the Center for Principled Family Advocacy, ensuring we stay at the forefront of legal developments.
Extensive experience in mediation, collaborative law, and complex family law litigation.

The Importance of Choosing an Attorney-Mediator

Not all mediators are attorneys, and this distinction is critical. Many non-lawyer mediators lack the legal training and experience necessary to identify complex financial and legal issues that could impact the outcome of the case. At NEO Family Law, our mediator is a family law attorney by trade, ensuring that agreements are legally sound, enforceable, and comprehensive enough to protect rights and future stability. Choosing an attorney-mediator means our clients receive guidance from a professional who understands the nuances of family law, can anticipate potential issues, and can offer solutions that align with legal best practices.

A Comprehensive and Thorough Process

We take a methodical and detail-oriented approach to every case because experience has shown us that overlooking small details leads to big problems later. Unlike mediators who rush through negotiations without thoroughly vetting issues, we carefully collect and analyze all relevant financial and legal information to ensure nothing is missed.

Our process includes:

Collecting and exchanging information so clients can satisfy financial disclosure requirements of the court and make fully informed decisions, rather than making agreements based on assumptions.
Utilizing family law financial software to provide potential projections for spousal and child support, ensuring transparency and predictability.
Drafting clear and detailed agreements, including memorandums of understanding on separation agreements, shared parenting plans, and side agreements that are comprehensive, legally sound, and minimize the risk of future disputes.

Beyond financial and legal considerations, the depth and detail we apply to parenting plans are crucial in preserving relationships and preventing future conflict. A well-structured parenting plan establishes clear expectations and minimizes misunderstandings, which can lead to unnecessary disputes post-divorce. Our process ensures that all aspects of parenting—parenting time schedules, decision-making authority, holiday schedules, communication protocols, and conflict resolution mechanisms—are carefully crafted to support cooperative co-parenting and the well-being of children. By addressing these issues with precision, we help parents avoid future legal battles and ensure a smoother transition for the entire family.

By taking this structured, meticulous approach, we protect our clients from potential pitfalls such as vague agreements, financial oversights, or legal loopholes that could lead to future conflict or litigation. Our level of detail ensures that agreements are sustainable, enforceable, and provide long-term stability for both parties.

Strong Interpersonal and Communication Skills

We understand that family matters are highly personal and emotionally charged. Our mediator is skilled at bringing people together to have difficult but necessary conversations while appreciating both the legal and personal realities involved. We are practical, adaptable, and mindful of different personalities, ensuring that mediation remains a productive and solution-driven process.

Preserving Relationships and Ensuring Confidentiality

Family law disputes often involve sensitive issues, especially when children are involved. We prioritize confidentiality and fairness throughout the process, always aiming to preserve relationships where possible. We guide clients toward cooperative solutions that reduce conflict and promote long-term stability for families.

A Trusted Team Approach

We do not work in isolation—we collaborate with a network of trusted professionals to provide clients with a comprehensive, well-rounded resolution. We have established relationships with attorneys, financial advisors, mental health professionals, and other experts, ensuring that every aspect of a case is addressed with expert-level insight and support.

Integrity and Transparency

Mediation should not be used as a tool for manipulation or avoidance of legal obligations. We operate with integrity and require full disclosure from all parties to ensure a level playing field and acceptable results. Our commitment to transparency and ethical practice ensures that clients reach agreements that are equitable, legally enforceable, and built to last.
