It really is your divorce!

Don't let lawyers and the legal system take it from you. Through mediation, you can keep control of the process and decide how your divorce will be resolved.

At Transitions Mediation Center, we have helped hundreds of people get divorced in less time and for less money than traditional litigated divorce. We also help people resolve all kinds of conflicts. From divorce to business and employment disputes, mediation is the faster, fairer and better way to resolve disputes.

William H. Donahue, Jr., Esq., APM, founded Transitions Mediation Center in 1995 to address the growing need for mediation as an alternative to expensive, time-consuming and emotionally draining litigation. Through Transitions, he mediates a wide range of family disputes including divorce. He specializes in the mediation of high conflict cases and cases involving children. In high conflict cases, he uses a collaborative mediation approach, in which a team of professionals including a mediator, two attorneys and a therapist work with the family.

As an employment practices mediator, he mediates workplace disputes, and, through Transitions, offers a workplace-training seminar that teaches companies how to set up and maintain their own in-house dispute resolution programs.
