Family Mediation is one of the most important tools to resolving divorce and family issues without the stress and expense of time-consuming litigation. Mediation allows the parties to be the ‘masters of their fate’ without leaving important decisions to be determined by a judge who cannot possibly know all of the special needs and issues of each particular family. Mediation is successful in over 90 percent of all contested family cases, enables the parties to reach a mutual resolution and allows parties to foster a continuing amiable relationship where necessary for the future needs of their children. Mr. Sherrard’s extensive experience in family law gives him unique skills in bringing parties to a mutual resolution of their family issues.
