A conversation,

Big decisions. A more human process.
Mediation makes room for the conversations that are hard to have, and the practical decisions that need to follow.

Meet your mediator
Experience that listens. Guidance that doesn’t take sides.
After 25 years in Maryland family-law practice, Meg now works exclusively as a mediator. In 2025 she received the Rita C. Davidson Award, the Women’s Bar Association of Maryland’s highest honor. She brings a depth of experience and a genuine commitment to helping people hear one another.
Get to know Meg What to expect
A clear process. One step at a time.
You don’t need to have the answers before you begin. Mediation creates a structure for working through them.
Work through what matters.
Gather information and explore the issues together. Meg guides the discussion and may meet with each person separately if helpful.
Put agreement into words.
When you reach an agreement, Meg can prepare Points of Agreement to record it, so you can review it with your own attorney and have a Marital Settlement Agreement prepared for your signature.
You remain in control of the decisions. Meg facilitates the conversation; she does not act as your lawyer or decide your case.
Does Meg represent either of us?
Neither party. Meg is a neutral mediator who facilitates the discussion without taking sides. She has retired from practicing law and does not provide legal representation or legal advice to either person.
Do I need my own attorney?
You are not required to have your own attorney, but consulting one is recommended. An attorney can explain your rights and review an agreement before you sign. With both parties’ agreement, attorneys may also attend mediation.
Are sessions in person or online?
All mediation sessions with Meg take place via Zoom, so families anywhere in Maryland can take part without traveling to an office.
How much does mediation cost?
Meg’s fee is $400 per hour. The total cost depends on the complexity of the issues and how cooperative the parties are. Most cases resolve in two or three two-hour sessions, plus one to two weeks to draft Points of Agreement.
