Our mediation was, “an excellent process, with excellent professionalism and presentation…which helped make an unpleasant process as positive [and] supportive as possible. We walked away with warmth and respect for each other. [I] can’t think of a better way to have done [our divorce, and] wish we’d started out with mediation [because it was a] flexible response versus the huge hammer wielded by our previous lawyers. [It’s] too bad mediation doesn’t hold some kind of pre-marriage workshop [teaching communication, problems solving [and] empathy skills [because] the skills we learned would’ve helped our marriage, I think.

At first it was foreign and intimidating to be discussing such personal information, but Unmani’s friendly and authentic demeanor made it easy to relax. She is attentive, thorough, educating, and very conversational. She is obviously highly qualified, trained, and knowledgeable—very eloquent.

I am so grateful we chose Unmani to help us because both of us were able to move on, quickly, to new things without having the end of our dream dragging on unnecessarily. She kept things moving in a forward, positive motion until the end. I can’t recommend her services more!

Unmani’s level of fluid skill and preparation reveals her complete dedication for helping others find their way through the legal mazes of our society. Her intelligence goes without saying. I agree with previous clients’ testimonials about her kindness and empathy for her clients; you really do feel that she is invested in you. Couldn’t recommend her more…

And her totally unbiased way of dealing with both of us. She pointed out to each of us what the other was trying to say as well as effectively reminding us what it was we were working towards. She called us both out too if we were being unproductive. I highly recommend Unmani if you are seeking mediation services for a divorce.

Unmani is exceptionally gifted at mediating difficult situations. At critical moments when the dialogues seemed about to derail, Unmani masterfully steered us back on course. Her calming influence, insights on the legal requirements, and laser focus on the relevant issues very positively influenced the outcome of our divorce settlement and subsequent mediation qualitatively and quantitatively. In fact, my ex-wife and I would not have the solid, congenial co-parenting relationship we have today without key conversations—including very difficult ones—we had only because it was safe to have them with Unmani present.

Unmani is truly a blessing for those who find themselves ready to work with their soon-to-be-ex to bring a mutually satisfactory, peaceful end to their relationship. Animosity and belligerence are optional in our lives, and Unmani is adept at reminding us of that and keeping us true to our better selves. She has that rare gift for being light-hearted and no-nonsense at once, which of course is just what one needs at a time like that. We were blessed to have her to help us through the rough spots in our lives.

Unmani chose to practice family law and dedicates herself to resolving disputes with equanimity, respecting the emotional needs and wishes of each party at the table. She is even-handed, neutral, and unbiased in her counsel. She also provided appropriate referrals to additional professionals. If you choose mediation – (the only sane way) – to complete your divorce from your once beloved, inviting Unmani Saraswati to facilitate is a brilliant choice.
- Mark S.
Unmani is a skilled, compassionate, and talented divorce lawyer and mediator. She’s genuinely interested in amicably resolving matters of divorce and trying to create a win/win scenario for all involved. She’ll work hard for your case and your family and do such in a respectful and good-natured manner.

Unmani’s level of fluid skill and preparation with the name change process reveals her complete dedication for helping others find their way through the legal mazes of our society. Her intelligence goes without saying. I agree with previous clients’ testimonials about her kindness and empathy for her clients; you really do feel that she is invested in you.
