Mediation Offices offers prospective clients with previous clients' thoughts about Unmani's services.
Mediation Client:
"Since my ex-husband and I were clear about how we wanted to separate, in terms of both the logistics-financial and in regards to the children-and were committed to working things out amicably, Unmani was a clear and obvious choice. Unmani enabled us to make our transition in a way that was consistent with our vision of what the best possible scenario could be for both of us as well as for our children's experience."

Collaborative Practice Client:
This client's process was quite lengthy and was complicated by the other Collaborative Practice attorney's evaluative and law-based approach:
"There is one principal reason to choose Unmani as your attorney: She cares.
Nothing else really matters when working with an attorney. You may pay big bucks for a Harvard Law grad with 20 years of California divorce experience, but you will still have to triple read everything they write, go over all of the details with skepticism and scrutiny and you still have to decide for yourself on exactly what you want done.
If, however, your attorney doesn't care about you and your plight, your divorce experience will be painfully sterile, invalidating and inhumane. Divorce is a terrible experience - working with an attorney who is humane, genuine and down to earth makes navigating the perilous waters of [the divorce process], and negotiation less stressful and anxiety provoking.
A magnificently skilled communicator, Unmani knows how to mediate and negotiate. Her skills are top notch and her legal prowess is excellent. A force to be reckoned with, make no mistake, Unmani can fight with the best of bottom-crawlers in the legal community.
Ultimately, you have to work in your divorce as hard as your attorney (actually far harder). Do you want to work with someone who is real, ethical, straight, and down-to-earth or would you rather work with a corporate, fake, arrogant know it all?"
