Mediation, Legal & Financial Services
The Women’s Center does not provide legal counseling or advice directly, but we can connect you with the help you need.
Mediation & Legal Services
Mediation Services
Our mediation services offer an affordable way to reach an agreement on difficult issues (such as separation, custody, and property settlement agreements) in a controlled and confidential environment. Our certified mediators are attorneys who help people understand their options in order to reach mutually acceptable decisions.
Mediating through The Women’s Center is unique in that a retainer is not required! Sessions are pay-as-you-go, with payment due at the end of each session. Questions? Contact Patti J. Philipse directly at 703-691-3264 or at philipse@comcast.net.
