Divorce is no fun. Fairly dividing up a family and its wealth and possessions is full of compromise. Liz Rose made our divorce as pain free as I can imagine. She took our direction on how we wanted it done and worked in time with our schedules. Liz focused on our family concerns as much as the legal underpinnings of the Agreement she composed. Liz was unbiased, helped direct our larger view and filled in the many key blanks which we hadn't given a thought to. Divorce mediation is the answer for those willing to talk rather than allow lawyers to battle at your cost. Thank you Liz.

The demise of a marriage is never an easy thing to face, but my ex and I were extremely fortunate when we found Liz Rose. At first we weren't sure if mediation was the right way to go.  There was significant pain, residual anger, and emotional turmoil that was keeping us from communicating effectively. The divde seemed insurmountable, but we also knew that a contentious approach wasn't going to work, particularly if we wanted to keep our daughter's long-term interests in mind.  We consulted with attorneys claiming to be mediators, and while they may have posessed the legal expertise, none of them had the right training or experience to help us work through the emotional division.  We needed someone who would help make sure both voices were heard, to work through the rancor, and help us negotiate fairly, so that in the end, we'd be able to jointly raise our child in positive, respectful, and loving manner for the rest of our lives. 

Liz Rose helped us keep this outcome in mind when emotions ran high. Our negotiations did not go smoothly, and took almost six months, as there were significant issues to work through, and set backs as weell.  But Liz was committed to seeing it through, and firm with us when we got off track. She was always available to listen, a kind ear when things looked bleak, but wasn't afraid to challenge us whenever we needed reminding of our responsibilities, or the rules of engagement.

In the end, my ex and I came to an equitable agreement, one without the lingering, toxic resentment that often comes with contested divorces. In fact, we communicate better now than we have in the past five years, thanks in part to Liz. While our marriage has ended, we recognize that we will always have a relationship as cooperating, supportive co-parents to a beautiful little girl that loves us both.  Thank you Liz Rose.

"... Liz brings much more than knowledge of Law and the court system, and how it effects the couples she deals with.  She institutes a strong sense of understanding, as well as patience and Humanity, even during the toughest, most volatile moments of the process.  It was comforting to know that someone was putting compassion and ownership into an otherwise empty and difficult situation for me... "

Working with Liz through my divorce mediation was a pleasure. What I expected to be an extremely difficult, drawn out process was made relatively easy by Liz. She was understanding, easy to talk to and made herself always available. Going into the process I was very sceptical, after hearing some many horror stories of how friends divorces had gone. Liz's goal from the beginning was to keep everything as civil as possible; I believe that she truly has her clients best interests at heart which is in contrast to most divorce lawyers. I would strongly recommend Liz Rose to any couple starting the divorce process.

Liz has helped my husband and I mediate thru a very long and complicated divorce. I believe she went above and beyond her call of duty. I found Liz to be very professional, impartial and sensitive to the emotional impact that comes with a divorce.  She would always return your call or e-mail in a timely manner and accommodate our crazy schedules  She was knowledgeable, but would not hesitate to do the research on any areas she felt needed.  Liz treated mediation much beyond a business transaction.  She was a source of comfort, support and in the end I would come out calling her a friend.  I thank her for all the late nights and for believing in me, when I had lost hope.

I am grateful for the referral I got for Liz to help with my mediation process.  She was knowledgeable and understanding.  She was always available when needed and I feel she was very neutral through the whole process.  I feel that I can call her with any questions or concerns I may have down the road.  Thank you Liz for making this process of divorce go smoothly and quickly.  I will refer Liz to anyone who may need her services.  Thank again Liz.

Elizabeth showed a tremendous amount of care, sensitivity, and professionalism in helping my wife and I work through our divorce. She was very easy to communicate with and always got back to us quickly.  She was very proactive in making sure all bases were covered and was very careful about not taking sides and helping us both to come to a decision based on what was best for us as a whole. One thing that I noticed that really stood out for me is that she showed a genuine care for each of us and how we were doing emotionally during the process. I found that to be refreshing and quite unexpected. I highly recommend Elizabeth for her mediation services. 

Mark D. Smith, February 2009

I was introduced to Elizabeth Rose by her Real Estate agent, who knew and understood my Divorce scenario. Elizabeth offered me an initial consultative visit, with clear and  comprehensive choices. She gave me a feeling of comfort and concern for the fate of my minor child. Liz managed, orchestrated and negotiated with my ex-wife in a way that helped remove the pain and suffering that families endure during the process. The final result provided emotional relief and compromise for the best interest of my Son. I  would highly recommend  her to anyone in need of help, support, and understanding of the Judicial system.   

Gary L., February 2009

Liz has been beyond helpful and extremely fair with helping my husband and children with a very difficult situation.  She has always been courteous and professional.  She took the time not only to meet with my husband and I to work through our differences and come to a fair and equitable agreement, but also to meet with our two children.  Meeting with them has made such a huge difference, not everyone would do that.   Liz has always been readily available by telephone and email at all times and responds so quickly."   

Tammy Turcotte, August 2008

"Elizabeth Rose has been the voice of clarity in a very unclear and confusing time in our lives.  Liz truly cares about our family, and has demonstrated her kindness consistently through out our mediation.  My wife and I were going down a very expensive, and insensitive path with battling divorce lawyers.  Liz was able to help us put the cards on the table, and work together in decisions regarding money, property and most importantly our children.  The welfare, safety and security of our children are of utmost importance to us, and Liz puts those concerns at the top.  We are still a family, and will always be a family; unique and different from any other family.  Thank you Liz for your council."                   

Jeff T, August 2008

"Liz was very helpful to us through our divorce. She helped us maintain a congenial relationship and focus on our children and the post-divorce relationship.

Liz has a very easy going manner that helped keep us grounded in practical matters vs. emotional, irrational bickering over the more trivial points of the divorce process."

Jim D. Franklin, MA, August 2008

Liz is the best! She made a difficult situation easier to get through. She is not only efficient; she is trustworthy in what she told me she could do and how she did it.  She is compassionate, reliable, willing to compromise and make herself available to me and my schedule. She is accessible whether it is by phone, email, or fax. She is unlike any other lawyer that I have worked with or heard about. I have told, and will continue to tell anyone looking for council about Liz!

Ulysses Melanson, Gardner, MA. February 2009

"Elizabeth Rose is the kind of attorney that you want  in your corner.  She is fast, efficient, and professional.  She helped  me with my divorce during the most difficult time in my life and  combed through complicated, lengthy documents with ease.  Most  importantly, she made me feel empowered while protecting my rights as a mother."
