Testimonials

“Katherine’s integrity, intelligence and insight helped me get to the other side of an overwhelming situation. From the very start, I felt understood and supported and knew I made the right choice in putting my confidence in her. Moreover, Katherine’s expertise in the collaborative concept allowed her to quickly gain the trust of the rest of the negotiating group. I highly recommend her.”

“Going through a divorce is one of the hardest things to go through. Shara Goldfarb made me feel safe, protected and informed of my rights.  Shara encouraged me that there is an end and life will go on. She was right and made it possible for an easy transition back to life. This is the woman you want on your side.”

“Going through divorce is already very difficult emotionally. Add to that the complexities of the legal system, and it can be overwhelming. Prior to working with Katherine, I had to fire my first lawyer because our interactions were only increasing the tensions with my ex and my distress. Katherine was always accessible and responsive, non-reactive yet validating, and always listening to what I needed and preferred while providing her professional opinion. I was impressed with her truly collaborative stance, and always encouraging our efforts, to resolve issues on our own. I now recommend her to anyone who needs a collaborative divorce attorney. Thank you, Katherine!”

“When I met Ms. Goldfarb I was crying in her office because I knew that I was facing a tough divorce. I needed the best lawyer in town, and I found that lawyer in Shara. Shara is extremely professional, intelligent, and compassionate. She fought very hard for my rights, and thanks to her I was able to happily settle with no doubt in my mind that it was the best settlement for me. Working with Shara Goldfarb was definitely the best decision that I ever made.”

“Following our decision to divorce, my ex-wife and I worked with Katherine to develop a complex mediated agreement covering every aspect of our future relationship. In addition to the splitting of assets and support payment arrangements, we needed to address the educational and all other needs of our children, both short term and long term. Katherine made informed, creative and thoughtful suggestions every step of the way, without ever losing her neutrality in the process. Five years into it, the agreement has held up remarkably well and has enabled us to go in our different directions while coordinating our parenting and remaining friends.”

“I loved working with Katherine for so many reasons: she’s warm, fair, compassionate, and thoroughly versed in the law. She was able to navigate the complex interpersonal waters of separation and divorce with grace and patience. Both my ex and I found her a pleasure to work with, and we both feel that the agreement we crafted represents beautifully our desire to end up with a divorce that left everyone feeling emotionally whole.”

“Katherine’s strength as a mediator comes from a combination of legal, interpersonal and psychological savvy and skills. She helped us craft an agreement that was fair, legal and as amicable as possible. Her focus kept us on track through tumultuous times.”

“Katherine Miller helped me get divorced six years ago, and I will always be grateful for her cool head, her incredible smarts, and ability to be nimble on her feet and conjure creative solutions when the pressure was on—for all of us. Katherine understands—and taught me—that a successful divorce really requires both parties to be able to complete the process with their heads held up, and with their pride and dignity intact. That was definitely the case for my ex and me, and the fact that we are decent to each other to this day has a lot to do with our wherewithal to be decent to each other, with Katherine’s guidance, as we were going through the painful and scary experience of splitting up.”
