Mediation
Mediation gives people the choices, control, and voice they often do not get in court proceedings.
Wasserman White Family Law attorneys can assist clients in mediating family law disputes to resolve disagreements regarding custody, visitation, child support, alimony, financial assets, and property division.
What is Mediation?
Mediation is a voluntary, confidential process in which a neutral, trained mediator facilitates settlement discussions. The hope is that participants can reach an agreement on some or all issues–even if the agreement is only temporary.
Wasserman White Family Law supports our clients throughout mediation. We can help you select an appropriate mediator, advise you throughout the negotiations and process, suggest ways to resolve issues, and review your final agreement. After signing the agreement, we can file the necessary documents to get you divorced or otherwise end the dispute.
Several of our attorneys are also trained to serve as mediators in family law disputes involving complex custody or financial issues.

During the consultation Laurie walked me through options for my situation, next steps, there was no pressure to hire her—she just gave me all the information to decide if I was ready to proceed with divorce. After hiring Laurie, she worked through a lot of tumultuous issues including custody options for kids (alcoholic abuse involved) and division of premarital assets. I wanted to get divorced ASAP, she worked with my husbands lawyer to advocate for mediation. She thoroughly reviewed all documents and our settlement agreement and ensured I understood all aspects of the agreement. Laurie was always available to discuss updates to my case. Start to finish, I was divorced in 6 months thanks to Laurie’s guidance and help.

Exactly the Lawyer I Needed
They are simply kind people who seemed tuned into to how hard it is to be someone getting divorced. Until I found Laurie, it had been hard for me to find an attorney in Baltimore who had updated, modernized knowledge and experience and approaches to divorce – most importantly for me that meant a lawyer who believed mediation can work with high-conflict people AND knew how to do it. That was the gamechanger for me. Laurie and her team maintained their focus and the quality of their work through every final little part of the process. Now that I’m on the other side I can confidently say I recommend Laurie Wasserman 100%.
