Fast, Quality, Cheap: Why We Chose Two, and Which Two
There's an old adage in every service industry: fast, quality, cheap — choose two. After a decade of guiding families through divorce, we choose expediency and quality, every time.

There's an old adage in every service industry: fast, quality, cheap — choose two. We understand why this saying has endured, and here's where we've landed after a decade of guiding families through divorce: we choose expediency and quality, every time.
Expediency: the fastest way through is together
People often ask us what the fastest way to get divorced is. The clear answer is always effective collaboration. And effective collaboration requires quality professional guidance to hold the space, structure the conversation, and keep both of you moving toward resolution rather than circling the same unresolved hurt.
This isn't just a philosophy — it shows up in the numbers. Mediation with our firm typically resolves in two to four months, compared to nine to twelve months with traditional attorneys, and twelve months or more when a case goes to trial. Speed, in other words, isn't the enemy of a good outcome. It's often the result of one.
Quality: a systematic process, built for your family
Since founding Conscious Family Law in 2014, we've developed a systematic process that works for the vast majority of families who come to us. Part of that process is helping you craft a Parenting Plan that includes every legally required element, and a wide array of optional provisions designed to help that document actually support you as a healthy, functioning co-parenting team.
And for families who want to go further in clarifying a shared set of commitments — the values, priorities, and future you're intentionally creating together — we offer a parenting coaching package developed in collaboration with trusted parenting experts, designed as an affordable complement to mediation. You can learn more and book a complimentary consultation here.
Cost: what you're actually paying for
We won't claim to be the cheapest mediators you'll find. What we will say is this: our work brings the expertise and savvy of seasoned family lawyers — attorney-mediators with over fifty years of combined experience — paired with something you won't find everywhere. Both of our founders are mindfulness practitioners, and one brings a master's degree in counseling directly into the design of all our processes. Masterful space-holding isn't an add-on here — it's at the core of how we work.
If you want the best chance of staying on the path toward a healthy family constellation, building better future relationships, and keeping an open heart so you can complete this chapter as gracefully as possible — we believe there's no better option.
Believe it or not, we are here to support you to become your best self in this process.
Go through your divorce, and show up in it, better than you did in your marriage.
