"John's knowledge of the divorce process and his understanding of the
emotional turmoil of his clients during divorce make him an extremely effective financial
divorce specialist.
John's financial projections
(clearly represented in graphic form) were an important piece of my attorney's
presentation at my divorce mediation.
John was able to crunch the
numbers and give me answers quickly during the critical decision making of mediation. His
calm manner and team approach with my attorney gave me confidence at an emotionally
devastating time."
