Kristen G. Lyndaker, Esq., LMSW

Thanks to zoom and e-filing Kristen is able to work with anyone, anywhere in New York State and the state of Wyoming.

Depending on the location, schedules, and preferences of the parties involved, meetings can take place virtually, in person, or as a combination of both in New York State and Wyoming as long as appropriate arrangements are made directly with Kristen.

Mediation is very client-centered. Kristen works very efficiently and at a pace that is comfortable for the clients. Some clients require only 2 mediations while others require several. Some get finalized within a couple of months while others take years. She works at your pace and makes herself very available to move things forward.

Mediation is significantly less expensive than going to court. According to Justia, divorce mediation can be 5-10x cheaper than litigation.

In Mediation, it is important that both parties are present to participate in meaningful conversation.

With Collaborative Law, on occasion it might make sense for a party to not be present, and it is common for attorneys to speak on behalf of their clients without their client's presence.

All mediation sessions and all related communications, including but not limited to email and phone communications outside of mediation sessions, are part of settlement negotiations, and are privileged and confidential.
