Berner Law & Mediation Group is a uniquely focused law practice which offers a number of advantages over traditional ways of divorcing, among them cost-effectiveness, durability, and a process that promotes respect instead of prolonging hostility. With two convenient offices in New York City (midtown Manhattan) and Hackensack, New Jersey, in the center of Bergen County, we strive to provide client-centered service with flexible schedules and convenient offices for our New York and New Jersey clients. Berner Law & Mediation Group has been a leader in the area of Mediation, Collaborative Law and Conflict Resolution in the New York and New Jersey area for over 25 years. We help clients reach informed, satisfying and cost-effective solutions. In a trusting environment, we help clients create their own agreements based on their mutual needs and goals as well as those of their children. We place clients first, recognizing that divorce has many dimensions—legal, emotional, psychological, and parental when children are involved. Our practice creates a trusting environment that facilitates conversation between divorcing spouses and other disputing parties, encouraging them to understand the facts of their situation, address each other’s priorities, and take charge of shaping their futures. Clients decide on their future with each other, not against each other. We provide an informed and problem solving framework, not an adversarial battle ground.
