Used Mr. Abut for divorce mediation. The entire first session -- my lawyers, my ex's lawyers all present and on the clock -- was a friendly get-to-know-you session (3 hours!) that included over an hour of his "spiel" which was largely off-topic, and two hours of discussion about our feelings. None of which got us an iota closer to agreement. The second session was even longer, and didn't get to anything relevant until the very end. Just yakking and yakking and yakking. After that I dropped him. He's witty and smart but I'd encourage you to keep him on task and put time limits on any discussion not directly having to do with the issue at hand, nothing tangential.
