“
I've had the pleasure of working with Ann for a family matter that required mediation. Her service and skills are top tier and the process was handled seamlessly. With her help and representation of my lawyer Denise Miller, I could not have asked for a better outcome. I recommend her to anyone who needs the help of a true professional. Thank you again, so very much Ann!!”

“
Ann Goade was a literal God-send. When my ex-husband and I decided to divorce, we wanted to do so as quickly, easily and cost-effectively as possible. We consulted with several attorneys and mediators, all of whom left us feeling like the divorce process could be cheap and slow or expensive and not as slow. We stumbled upon Ann’s website and upon consultation she was not only extremely caring and knowledgeable but she said there was a possibility with the proper paperwork filed, our divorce could take less than a week. It seemed to good to be true. But…. It was not! Our case was fairly simple, but no one else had given us the hope of our divorce taking less than 6-8 weeks, and that was at a substantial fee. Ann was affordable and delivered! We were motivated, moved swiftly, and we were legally divorced one week after our mediation date. I cannot sing enough praises for Ann’s expertise and attention to detail to provide her clients with exactly what they need to accomplish their goals, and without braking their bank!”

Ann was amazing to work with. She handled with professionalism, speed and efficiency what would have taken me forever if I had tried to manage it all on my own. She was always available for whatever I needed and responded immediately. I couldn’t be more pleased with her services and have already given her name out for referrals.”

“
Ann was beyond amazing, from mediation to final decree was lightning speed at less than two weeks. She made us both feel very comfortable, went beyond to explain the process, and under the circumstances made this as pain-free as possible. I cannot say enough, good things about her professionalism and taking what is a difficult time and making it easy.”

“
We were looking for a quick divorce and found Ann online with great reviews, so we figured we'd give her a shot. I emailed her after hours and to my suprise, she wrote me back immediately. We met with her one time via Zoom where she explained everything and answered all of our questions. She emailed us everything we needed to notarize and again, would answer my emails after-hours and on weekends. The whole process from start to finish lasted just over a month. (Although my spouse and I were an easy case. We were already in agreement with everything, including our child's needs) She made the process very easy for us and I would recommend Ann to anyone in our situation!”

“
Ann was amazing exceeded expectations on every level. Throughout my life I had only heard about expensive, drawn out, nasty divorces a path my wife and I wanted to avoid. Ann was able to mediate the few things that we had not agreed on, formatted the agreement and made changes until it was acceptable to both of us, filed it with the court, 3 days later it was finalized. I am thankful for Ann she was a blessing. To drag out for months an already terrible life event would have been awful from both an emotional and financial perspective. Thank you so much Ann, I have already highly recommended you to a few people and will continue to sing your praises. 🙂 Thank you Chris”

The mediation by Ann Goade helped to expedite the legal case between myself and the other party. The agreement that was reached is one I think both parties were satisfied of. The mediation itself could have been perhaps faster but this is not necessarily the fault of Ann. She seemed to have been objective and unbiased, which was the biggest thing I was worried about .”

I would recommend Ann for your mediation needs without any hesitation. She is very prompt and professional in responding to emails and effectively communicates with both parties to prepare for mediation. Despite Ann’s experience and expertise, we still came to an impasse through no fault of her own. I found her to be a skillful, competent mediator who offered many creative and thoughtful suggestions for us to consider. When there was clearly no hope to resolve our conflict she was not interesting in wasting any more of our time or money which I appreciated.”

“
Ms. Goade, I’m sure rarely has a easy job negotiating between two people trying to divide up their assets. Yet she explained offers to each party being professional yet in a concerned way. I appreciate her sticking it out through hours of our settlement. It takes a special person to do this job with fairness and keeping judgements to herself unless she clearly saw a way to make a fair settlement between both parties. I think she is excellent at her job. Thank you”
