It has been an incredibly difficult time as I know you understand – but now we can try to move forward. “We were confused about the steps to be taken after we decided to separate. We agreed to an amicable split and found that attorneys were not helpful. A friend recommended mediation and it was the best thing for us. Freya made the process painless and she guided us through the necessary steps ensuring that we covered everything that needs to be considered.” “The opportunity to go through this difficult and stressful situation with someone who understands what you are going through and guides you through the painful decisions that need to be made, is a valuable service that helps both sides get to a resolution the easiest way possible.” “I found mediation with Zollinger Mediation to be an affordable and comfortable approach to a difficult situation. Freya made the process easier to understand, with her knowledge and expertise.” “On very good advice from a registered psychotherapist I was able to avail myself of the services of Zollinger Mediation. I was very grateful that I did so.” “Freya Robbins of Zollinger Mediation is beyond competent. Freya has the unique capacity to provide clear guidelines on what to expect, what to do, and how to handle the exigencies of a divorce and divorce proceedings. She has a very compassionate and fair manner of processing the procedures with both parties involved. She makes the whole process much less painful (both emotionally and financially) for both parties than usually encountered in the adversarial environment of legal proceedings. Nearly all the paper work that would be very difficult to deal with both from a personal and professional point of view was appropriately explained and as a result, completed efficiently.” “Nobody stands at an altar thinking your marriage won’t make it, but sometimes life has other plans. Freya helped us walk through a very painful and sad chapter in our lives and come out the other side still friends.” “We were treated courteously, and promptly regarding our meetings and all communication. Freya was neutral, and non judgmental, treating us both fairly. We felt relaxed, not anxious or rushed in the mediation process. Having help with the paperwork was an immense help. Thank you so much!” “Zollinger Mediation utilizes strength, wisdom, and compassion to help both sides make decisions with peace and integrity.

In a dark and damaging situation in our life, Freya, with Zollinger Mediation gave above and beyond towards an equitable and promising future for our family.” “My husband and I spent thousands of dollars with attorneys that did nothing for us. We were able to go to Zollinger Mediation where Freya handled our divorce in a very kind manner. She helped us out so much. Getting a divorce is never easy, but at least we didn’t have to end it being ugly with lawyers, who only wanted to war, supposedly on our behalf, so they could make more money from us. Do yourselves a favor and see her before you make a big mistake.”
