The goal of mediation is to empower all parties while seeking fair solutions and resolving disputes respectfully. Mediators also provide assistance in helping people discuss possible options that might solve the problem. The goal is to ultimately create a solution together that is acceptable to all who are directly involved. Goldstein Mediation is passionate about the mediation process. Having had personal experience with a lengthy, emotional and costly litigated divorce, Jill Goldstein (Owner) is dedicated to keeping families out of the courtroom. Jill holds Bachelor of Arts degrees in psychology and criminal justice from the University of St. Thomas. She also has several years of counseling experience which was the catalyst for her career in mediation. After referring countless couples to the mediation process, Jill observed that couples came to a quick and peaceful resolution because the process was based on self-determination and was managed with the clients and their children as the main focus. Jill is passionate about assisting individuals in making their own separation or divorce decisions and helping families plan their future. Couples who are focused and committed to the mediation process will find Jill to be their advocate in developing their own standard of fairness and crafting a creative resolution that feels fair to both.
