Scott and his team are fantastic at providing their clients with a constructive, yet cost-effective way to end a... marriage. There are many hard conversations that need to be had during this time.

Scott is a compassionate, experienced, and highly professional mediator. As an attorney, I can say without hesitation... that you should absolutely avoid the traditional divorce route--which is essentially litigation. Scott cuts through the protracted and agonizing traditional process, files all of the paperwork, and is so informed and so wonderfully balanced in his approach. He's a wonderful human being. And an intelligent and competent attorney!read more

Scott is one of my Vesta Divorce colleagues and he’s not only a great mediator but also a friend. I’ve been able to... see his legal knowledge and compassion in action every week when we have our Vesta webinars. I wish I had known him when I was going through my divorce! I would recommend him to my family and friends that choose the mediation route for their divorce because I know they’d be in good hands. If you’re in need of an excellent mediator, please reach out to Scott Levin.read more

Knowing Scott for quite some time now, it is not a difficult thing at all to recommend him and his Team for incredible... Mediation Services. I have such respect for an attorney that decides to devote himself to the best possible resolutions available to a couple as opposed to fighting it out in court. It is better for the parties involved, the children-if there are any, and the Bankbook.The energy involved in truly coming to an amicable resolution for everyone involved as opposed to letting a judge decide is not only noble, but, I have had no problems in recommending Scott to anyone who needs his services- truly a good-hearted profesional that I feel fortunate to know!read more

Scott is one of the most personable attorneys I know and because of his personality, his work as a divorce mediator is... indispensable. I can see how he would put the parties at ease during these stressful times and help them reach an agreement rather than going to court. I have done many presentations with Scott on the legal aspects of divorce and the process so I can attest to his knowledge and demeanor. I recommend Scott as a mediator for people I have consulted with who may not have considered mediation and for my clients who want to take their cases out of the courts. Scott provides a crucial service to the family law community here in San Diego!read more

We went to Scott before we got married for a prenuptial agreement. We worked as a team, my now husband and I along with... Scott, to come up with a fair agreement. Having to be in the same room with him to negotiate this was scary but with Scott's laid back style, we were able to do this and the experience brought us closer. It was a win-win.read more

We visited Scott and his co-mediator Diane for divorce mediation after starting with two lawyers in litigation. We... hadn't gotten anything done with the attorneys other than blowing through lots of money and we came to Scott for help. He was nice and casual and offered us a great alternative to litigation. We both went to see them over 4 sessions and finalized an agreement. I really think they care for people and are passionate about their profession. Thank you!read more
