Stephanie is being modest and I truley understand why...she wears her heart on her sleeve. Ms. Lewis is much more than she discribed herself. To me Stephanie is more than and lawyer/advocate. She is my hero. When noone else believed in me she was there. When my enemy attacked , she was there. When I gave up on myself, she was there. When I saw only the bleak, she restored my faith. Stephanie was more than a lawyer/advocate, she was a friend. Thank you Stephanie!

]]> Comment on How does divorce mediation in New Jersey work? by Joseph F. Dillon http://www.thecompletelawyer.com/how-does-divorce-mediation-in-new-jersey-work.html#comment-369 Joseph F. Dillon Wed, 16 Mar 2011 14:08:38 +0000 http://www.thecompletelawyer.com/?p=560#comment-369 While I agree with most of your article, as an Accredited Professional Divorce Mediator in NJ myself, I have an MBA in Finance and was never a practicing attorney although I do have extensive legal experience. It's really a matter of if your mediator is experienced and is Accredited - that is the key. Anyone can claim to be a mediator but there are less than 100 Accredited Professional Mediator in NJ so you really have to be careful. As your article points out, financial matters tend to be the main drivers during divorce as three of the four areas covered are financially related: equitable distribution, child support and alimony so you are correct in stating that having financial knowledge is extremely important and to be honest, something I find many attorneys lack. Certainly there are some good attorney mediators out there but being a mediator is an entirely different skill set than being an attorney an having an MBA in Finance has served my clients greatly.

What I find most firms asking now is "what should my LPO strategy be?" Amongst the possible answers is certainly "Our strategy is to keep the work in-house", and even this is very credible if it is a strategy and not a head-in-the-sand ignoring of the issue. Stage 1 of what we do with clients is answer the question "LPO - Yes or No?" And, if the answer is "yes" does that mean onshore, offshore, delivered from a Captive, delivered by a third party, or a combination of all four. It is quite a tough analytical process to through but it an investment that pays dividends. Nothing (well, almost nothing) is harder than the decision outsource.
