“
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 .”

Mr. Kitts

“
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”

Ann Goade was truly professional about our entire legal process. Ann helped us with mediation and then helped us file the final paperwork to complete the divorce.
