La Jolla Divorce Mediation

Divorce is one of the most difficult and emotional experiences a family can go through, and we are incredibly grateful to have had Scott Levin guiding us through the process. From our very first meeting, Scott created an environment that felt respectful, balanced, and solution-focused. He was patient, compassionate to our specific and unique situations and genuinely invested in helping us navigate difficult conversations with clarity and dignity. Our situation was particularly unique because we had a number of complex financial assets that needed to be carefully evaluated and divided. Throughout the process, Scott's financial expertise proved invaluable for me. He was able to clearly explain complicated financial concepts, helping both of us understand the implications of different options and ensure that decisions were made thoughtfully and fairly. His ability to navigate both the emotional and financial aspects of divorce with equal skill gave us tremendous confidence during a process that could have otherwise felt overwhelming. Thanks to his guidance, expertise and calm presence, what could have been an even more highly contentious process became far more manageable that I ever expected. I left mediation feeling respected, informed and confident in the agreements that we reached. I would wholeheartedly recommend Scott Levin to anyone seeking a knowledgeable, fair and compassionate divorce mediator. His unique combination of interpersonal skill and financial expertise was invaluable and made a lasting difference during one of the most challenging chapters of our lives, and we are deeply thankful for his support.

Scott Levin guided my spouse and I through a genuinely difficult and drawn-out divorce mediation. There were many moments where resolution didn't seem to be viable, yet Scott stayed patient and steady through every delay and setback. His experience and knowledge of family law is invaluable. He truly is a peacekeeper! One of the things that stood out was his ability to read the room and adjust his approach as needed. Early on, he kept things low-key and gave both sides space to stay comfortable continuing in the process. His creativity when working on dividing assets and liabilities made an incredibly stressful situation less so. As we got closer to the finish line, he was very proactive in helping us reach an agreement. That kind of judgment, knowing when to hang back and when to step in, is a valuable skill in mediation. If you're dealing with a complicated or emotionally charged divorce, I can't recommend Scott highly enough. He got us to a fair resolution when it genuinely felt uncertain at times, and he did it with professionalism and skill throughout.

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 phenomenal mediator. From the initial consultation to the end of our dissolution Scott put us at ease through the legal process and helped us work through any sticking points in our mediation process. He was great at posing questions about custody and finances that we hadn’t thought of. He made the process so easy and I feel like we were able to come up with an agreement that was a win-win for all parties. Highly recommend Scott and San Diego Mediation!
