## Testimonials

> "Without your help we never would have been able to get to a seemingly amicable separation agreement. I believe we would have ended up in court, had we not had your help, mainly because neither of our lawyers was really much help in avoiding that situation. You were the only one who had a good grasp of what was fair to both of us. The time you spent with me was invaluable in trying to figure out what made the most sense, and what was at least fair or as fair as a divorce can be.  I truly believe I would have lost the house and be on the hook for even more spousal maintenance than I currently am. Had you not been there to run the estimated numbers for taxes and other expenses, I would have ended up in a much more tenuous situation financially."

#### GREG C.

> "Thank you for your help and assistance with our divorce.  Your analysis and conversations were very helpful as we tried to navigate through the trials of divorce.  A painful and most unpleasant experience.  I appreciated the diligence you provided in the data and discussion you provided, while being kind and neutral to each of us."

#### JOHN H.
