The mediator facilitates. Your attorney advocates. The mediator’s job is to help both sides find agreement; your attorney’s job is to make sure the agreement is one you should accept. These are different roles, and confusing them is how spouses end up with settlements that serve the process rather than their interests.
Brodzki Jacobs represents clients at mediation as their advocate, not as a passive observer. The firm engages with every proposal and flags the ones that carry hidden costs.
