I felt you were very, very, very helpful and I really appreciate it greatly. It’s made a huge difference in terms of the quality of our interactions and my sense of family.

Dr. Sulmeyer conducted the mediation with solemnity, dignity and sensitivity. These qualities, together with Dr. Sulmeyer’s thorough preparation, promoted an atmosphere of trust, cooperation and respect. As the mediation unfolded, both parties gained increasing confidence that their respective needs and concerns were being addressed.

You made a very difficult process less so, and it was everything I hoped it could be in terms of professionalism, sensitivity, and affordability.

Steve was very, very, very helpful and I really appreciate it greatly. He made a huge difference in terms of the quality of our interactions and my sense of family.

I feel like I’ve learned countless lessons through the process that’ll help in life moving forward. Thank you for that!

Steve’s guidance and mediation techniques helped me understand our situation and reconcile the issues with minimal angst. Settlement terms were reached for child custody and support, division of assets, and all other issues in quick order, which allowed us to complete the process in a timely fashion. Steve also helped me through some personal challenges I had regarding the divorce, and as a result he shortened the time it has taken me to forgive and move on.

A consummate professional.

You truly helped me regain some of the strength I lost in this situation. I feel more empowered and able to stand firm than I have in a long time.

The awesome success you achieved was deep and complex and included keeping us away from courtrooms and private judges.

Steve led us through the mediation process with integrity, respect, and humor. He has an uncanny ability to ‘see’ and appropriately respond to each individual while maintaining a strong, cohesive spirit of collaboration. Because of the work done with Steve, my ex-husband and I have solid respectful relationship.

Brilliant mediation, Steve. Thanks so much for your expert assistance.

Your efforts to get us to an agreement exceeded what I believed was possible — an opinion I held until almost the very end of the day. I try not to think of myself as cynical, but your ability to get us to where we are today has me awestruck and extremely appreciative.

You were such a tremendous help in such a difficult period.

It’s hard to express how grateful I am to all of you for being so involved with our family in very personal ways. I never would had ever guessed that professional relationships could be so meaningful.

Thanks for helping us navigate our separation, I certainly wouldn’t feel the way I do now if we hadn’t had the proper support and guidance.

Thank you for all you brought to the [mediation]. It well could have been a different result without your gifts. Your ability to empathize with both parties, to shift focus to where it needed to go, made a huge difference.

Thank you so much for your very effective mediation. It was masterful to behold and experience. I had very little optimism going into the session that we would come away with an agreement. In the very last hour, when you pulled us together, it was like magic. I am still not sure how you did it. . . . Losing parents must always be a significant turning point. With the agreement in hand, I have begun to grieve in earnest—about the loss of my mother and the damage to our relationships as sibl… Read more

Your session was so incredibly thoughtful and your approach so gentle that it has been life-altering for me. You touched on issues, some of which I could not pinpoint nor give voice to, but now I can and will. Thank you, Stephen.

I appreciate your kind way and your wisdom, as this is one of the biggest transitions (besides becoming parents) that we have undertaken.

Steve was amazing in his ability to analyze what was going on with both of us and suggest ways to move ahead.
