Mediation

Heather Carter-Jenkins is a licensed attorney and trained mediator with 20 years of mediation experience. Jenkins Law Office offers both mediation services for people seeking to mediate and also represents clients in mediations. Mediation is a voluntary, respectful, and cooperative way to resolve disputes without the need for traditional litigation.

In this process, a neutral third party, known as the mediator, facilitates open communication between all involved parties. Heather Carter-Jenkins is a trained, seasoned divorce mediator and dedicated legal advocate.

Mediation fosters a setting where you can discuss, negotiate, and ultimately agree on solutions that are tailored to your specific needs.
