Biography: Diana Mercer, Esq. is an Attorney-Mediator and the founder of Peace Talks Mediation Services in West Los Angeles (www.peace-talks.com). A veteran litigator, she now devotes her practice solely to mediation. Outgoing and down-to-earth, she makes clients and attorneys feel at ease in solving divorce and family law issues. She is the author of Your Divorce Advisor: A Lawyer and a Psychologist Guide You Through the Legal and Emotional Landscape of Divorce (Fireside 2001). She's an Advanced Practitioner Member of the Association for Conflict Resolution and has a regular column in the Los Angeles Daily Journal.

She serves on mediation panels for the Los Angeles Superior Court and the Los Angeles County Bar Association, in addition to her mediation volunteer work with several other organizations.
