Zollinger Mediation & Divorce Financial Analyst

My spouse and I were referred to Freya Zollinger to help with our divorce process after we agreed we did not want to take on the expense and complications hiring a Divorce Attorney would bring. Freya was extremely patient, kind, understanding and fair. However, we, as a couple, were not ready to mediate; emotions were too raw. My spouse and I reached an impasse that went from bad to worse. Recognizing the pitfalls of letting emotions take over, Freya presented a well thought out scenario advising us to take the time needed to keep our emotions in check and start mediation process again when we were both in a better place. She warned that taking such matters (the issues we were «stuck» on) to attorneys would not be in our best interest given the contentious environment some divorce attorneys espouse. We did not listen. In the end, Freya was right. My spouse and I retained two very powerful, well respected and VERY expensive attorneys that gladly took our case and our money and ran away with it; tens of thousands of dollars were spent making issues out of non– issues. Items my ex and I were in full agreement with were now matters taken to the court. Shock, disappointment and eventually anger took over. Not with each other, with our attorneys. How could we let this get away from us? Common sense prevailed. We went back to Freya –she never said «I told you so» :0). Unfortunately, we still had some of the same unresolved issues that both of us felt a strong desire to defend. That’s where Freya’s experience, empathy and determination shone through. It wasn’t easy, but she accomplished her mission by settling our issues amicably and as fairly as possible. Had we stayed with Freya, we’d both be driving a brand new car. My way of showing gratitude for Freya’s efforts is by leaving this Unilocal review. Thank you Freya for a job well done.
