As a mediator, Dr. Lefkowits acts as an objective third party to help resolve disputes pertaining to the end of the marriage. Dr. Lefkowits will often co-mediate with an attorney in order to address all the issues involved with a separation agreement and provide the structure for ending the marriage.

Mediation can provide the following advantages:

• Saves time and money. You avoid going to court and maintain your ability to make decisions for your family.
• Is fair to all concerned. The mediator is a third party who has no interest in the outcome.
• Is a confidential process. Mediation will not become part of the public record like going to court.
• Avoids long, drawn out litigation, saves money in attorney fees and reduces the time and steps involved in a traditional divorce.

Dr. John Lefkowits has been involved in many successful divorce mediations as both a single mediator and co-mediator with an attorney. He has also spoken to professional and community groups about the value of mediation. Recently, Dr. Lefkowits was a guest speaker during a mediation training of professionals on how to help couples get through impasse.
