Navigating geography, time and space so that you can be physically present in your mediator’s office simply may not be possible – or, may create too great a burden for one or both parties.
While in-person mediation is generally preferable, sometimes it is simply not possible or practical. Virtual mediation, via secure video or audio conferencing, provides many benefits. It is flexible, convenient and efficient. The potential less beneficial aspects of a virtual process include privacy concerns, communication limitations, and technology glitches, which can generally be well managed by party commitment and mediator skill.

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.
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.
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.
