San Diego Mediation Attorneys Caring For Families

As a family law mediator in private practice, Mr. Levin specializes in negotiating fair settlements based on informed client consent.

A lawyer who graduated from the University of Virginia School of Law, Mr. Levin practiced law for more than 10 years at major international law firms and in his own private practice. After years of experiencing the destructive legal structure facing divorcing couples, Mr. Levin made the choice to put clients first.

Along with an experienced, trained, and caring staff, our office will focus on your goals and personal needs while controlling costs and emotional stress. We can’t guarantee a particular result but you can count on us to always follow up and return your phone calls so that we may solve your problems and maximize results.

Mr. Levin’s clients are quite unique and our practice is not for everyone. We bring both parties to the divorce together in one room for a series of mediations. Clients generally face complex property and support issues and/or delicate matters involving parenting their children. It is possible for two people dissolving a union to work through these matters with Mr. Levin’s guiding hand and you need not fall prey to an industry that encourages conflict, blowing up of the family unit, and high court fees.

Mr. Levin utilizes his extensive legal, business, mediation, and negotiation experience to offer clients high-quality professional services in his mediation practice. We serve individuals and business owners who want to maintain control over their own lives in a private setting that will accelerate the resolution of all issues with reasonable fees. After the agreement is reached, our office will prepare all court papers, deeds, and other documents.

Our goal

Divorce Services You Can Trust - Fair Agreements Without Court

We are committed to helping parties resolve their disputes through neutral, professional, and competent mediation services.

Our goal is to provide a controlled, safe, and respectful environment for parties to craft tailor-made agreements to resolve their disputes through a fast and dignified process.

We strive to foster thoughtful communication between parties so that they may move forward in their lives and reduce the financial and emotional costs of litigation. Our mission is to minimize the negative effects of divorce by enabling the parties to move beyond conflict to achieve win-win cooperative agreements.

When children are involved, our mediators and co-mediators can assist participants in developing parenting plans that are specific to their family, and sensitive to the actual needs of minors. In these scenarios, we aim to help parents develop cooperative co-parenting skills and minimize the negative effects of divorce on their children. By facilitating a dignified separation, our clients exit the process on a path that positively affects their post-separation interactions.

 Scott Levin has helped pull me through the most difficult time of my adult life. I got separated one year ago, and he has worked as my consulting attorney sine then. I can’t say enough about his work ethic, quality of legal advice, responsiveness in communication, and compassion for my family situation. Even though he was hired to take my side, he never made the process feel like a zero sum game. Scott’s training as both a mediator and lawyer gave him great insight into helping couples divorce with both party’s interests met without compromising his client’s goals. He took into consideration my son’s situation as my former spouse and I worked through a separate mediation firm to finalize our custody agreement. I would highly recommend working with Scott who knows what he is doing and will work tirelessly to support you and your interests.

 Scott was very easy to work with. He was very detailed in making sure both parties had all the information we needed. During the mediation process, it is obviously a difficult conversation to have, but Scott did his absolute best (and was good at) keeping the conversation neutral. Although it was not my decision in filing for and pursuing the divorce, I am really glad that I had someone like Scott to walk me through my part in the mediation and divorce process.

I highly recommend Scott Levin for legal matters. It is my pleasure to write a review for such an outstanding individual.

 Scott presented a super clear understanding of the separation process, and we are able to move through the divorce painlessly and quickly. He was very responsive to all of our questions, and the entire experience was seamless. I had consulted a number of firms, but Scott was by far the easiest to work with.

 I highly recommend working with Scott as your mediator. It’s a very challenging time anyway and using Scott for the dissolution of my marriage helped make a difficult life experience a lot less stressful and challenging. The cost of working with Scott was minimal compared to the cost of us hiring individual attorneys AND a lot less stressful. Scott is very understanding, knowledgeable and caring for both sides. I’m thankful we found Scott. I’m especially thankful that my husband and I were amicable from the start of this process which made a very sad and difficult situation less so. Do yourself a favor and hire San Diego Divorce Mediation & Family Law and work with Scott.

 I have known Scott Levin for many years and I have found him to be one of the top professionals in his field. He has helped countless people that I know, and I would not hesitate to refer him to anyone. In the half hour consultation that he has for new clients, it will become very clear as to the caliber of professionalism and character one is dealing with. The difference with Scott is his level of empathy and compassion, while being an absolute true professional. Scott, I am proud to know you and keep up the great work!

 I was told repeatedly it would be absolutely impossible to mediate in my highly contentious divorce with decades together, a # of children, lots of accounts and properties- it was overwhelming and typically is the kind of divorce that takes many many years and many 100s of 1000s of dollars. But then we found Scott. He was fair and respectful to both parties and most of all ensured that our kids would have the best outcome in this very sad breakup of our family. He kept it fair, affordable and quick. He is personable and he really cares. The mediators my friends have used in their own situations PALE in comparison to Scott Levin. My family has always been the most important thing in the world to me and our choice of mediator helped to keep us sane, calm and hopeful throughout this devastating situation in the middle of a pandemic. He allowed us to stagger visits so we did not need to be present together bc of the high conflict circumstances. Very grateful Scott Levin made the impossible possible, by guiding us through from start to finish!

 Scott is a thoughtful and skilled mediator. He understands the family law process from all angles and thus is able to impress upon his clients how much more beneficial a negotiated agreement is as opposed to litigation that ends up making lawyers lots of money but ultimately hurting the people involved. With this perspective he is able to help couples find common ground to dissolve their marriage and move forward in a fair and equitable way.

SAN DIEGO DIVORCE MEDIATION CLIENT REVIEW

Highly recommend Scott for a fair, efficient, and peaceful divorce mediation process. After 3 interviews with other divorce mediators, I finally found Scott and my ex and I immediately agreed on using him. Scott was monumentally helpful in what has been one of the hardest times in my life. Both my schedule and ex husband’s are overwhelmingly busy, so i am eternally grateful for his patience throughout our time together and for helping us keep the momentum going. I know he mediated for many couples, but for each couple it’s such a unique and personal event. Thank you, Scott, for NOT making us seem like just another case for you.
