We Help Families Navigate Life’s Hardest Transitions
Clients often reach out when they’re facing with one of these situations:
- Considering divorce or legal separation
- Needing clarity on child custody or child support
- Planning for the future with wills, trusts, and directives
- Handling probate after the loss of a loved one
- Managing ongoing family conflict that needs resolution
No matter where you’re starting, we focus on solutions that protect your family — and your peace of mind.
A Thoughtful Alternative to Courtroom Conflict
Not every family dispute needs to become a courtroom battle. In many cases, mediation offers a more respectful, efficient, and cost-effective way to resolve issues — while keeping control in your hands instead of a judge’s.
Heather Penning provides attorney-led family law mediation focused on practical, legally sound agreements—without unnecessary escalation.
Common mediation matters include:
- Divorce mediation
- Child custody and parenting plans
- Child support and modification issues
- Post-divorce disagreements
- Family conflict resolution
- Attorney-guided, legally grounded process
- Confidential, structured, solution-driven
- Focus on workable, enforceable agreements
- Reduced emotional and financial strain
