From a Recent Client
When my husband left me, I had absolutely no one to whom I could turn with any experience in divorce; no family members or friends who could advise me as to what to expect and how to approach the situation. After reading a couple of books on divorce and doing some research on line, I decided that Collaborative Divorce sounded like a good alternative to litigation. I called it “mediation with help.” And help is exactly what I received from Adryenn Cantor. She was my guide and my protector, and at times she literally carried me through the emotionally difficult process of dissolving my marriage. Her dynamic understanding of the law was expertly balanced with a keen sense of patience and compassion for my personal situation. She always had my best interest at heart and she continuously upheld a quiet confidence that I would survive this tragedy and become a whole person again. Through the Collaborative Divorce process I was finally able to find my voice and my inner strength but until that time, Adryenn WAS my voice and my legal safety net. I recommend divorce to no one, but if it must be experienced, the combination of Adryenn Cantor and the collaborative process will be a positive one. It certainly was for me.
