Mediation. It's not just for men anymore.

Not all mediators in Snohomish County are men. The women attorneys at Port Gardner Law Group do mediations for all kinds of family law disputes. We are experienced litigators who also have completed substantial training and work in mediation and collaborative problem solving. We offer half day, one day, or a series of structured two hour sessions for represented and pro se parties. We have spacious and private conference rooms to accommodate even high conﬂ ict cases, and regularly schedule virtual mediations when the parties cannot be physically present for the mediation.

We are also the only local Wevorce providers. Go to Wevorce.com for a summary of this high-tech, high-touch, ﬂ at-fee option for unrepresented parties who realize that court is no place for families going through a life transition.

Call Ashlee Mackey at 425-259-5100 for rates and availability.
