Why should you choose Divorce Mediation Professionals?
The firm was founded over 40 years ago on the belief that there is a better way to divorce. Before many even heard of “divorce mediation”, our founder, Lenard Marlow, realized that too many families and children were being irreparably damaged by our adversarial legal system and set out to pave the way for another road- one that is more practical, responsible and dignified. As a pioneer in the field of divorce mediation, he founded Divorce Mediation Professionals, now one of the oldest and largest divorce mediation facilities in the United States, where our mediators have successfully continued his goal of providing a better way to divorce. We consider ourselves the most well-trained and experienced mediators in the New York Metropolitan area and devote 100% of our practice to mediation.
