Our Practice
Consensual dispute resolution puts you in control of the decisions that affect your life. Having a trusted, experienced advisor helps ensure those decisions are informed, confident, and built to last.
Attorney consultation within mediation keeps you in control of both the process and the cost, while providing access to independent legal advice when you need it.
In some cases, your attorney may attend mediation sessions, draft proposals, or communicate directly with the other party. In others, the role may be more behind the scenes—helping you prepare for mediation, serving as a sounding board during negotiations, or reviewing proposed or final agreements. This limited-scope engagement allows you to decide how much—or how little—involvement your attorney has at each stage.
"I felt so much more positive and empowered when working with Jen. She is extremely fair and level headed and is a great problem solver.
Though divorces are never easy, she was the best part of this whole ordeal. I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to work with her."

Understanding Your Process Options
Choosing the right path for your divorce resolution is a pivotal decision that influences outcomes, emotions, costs, and future stability. At Winestone Mediation, we guide you through three out-of-court options— Mediation, and Collaborative Family Law—each designed to preserve privacy, avoid litigation, and promote respectful, lasting agreements tailored to your family.
Mediation
Mediation is a structured, confidential process in which a neutral mediator facilitates comprehensive discussions to help the parties reach their own agreements. Unlike litigation, decisions are not made by a judge. Mediation places control squarely in the hands of the people most affected by the outcome.
Collaborative Family Law
Collaborative Family Law is a team-based settlement process designed for families who want comprehensive professional support while remaining fully committed to resolving matters outside of court.
Publications & Media
Jennifer Winestone shares insightful articles and blog posts on mediation strategies, divorce pitfalls, virtual processes, and transformative family conflict resolution to guide clients toward thoughtful, lasting outcomes.
Our Offices
Our office is located in the beautiful neighborhood of Santa Monica, on the westside of Los Angeles. Our modern facilities offer up both the space and technology to conduct in person and virtual mediation sessions and consultations.
