Initially I was skeptical about doing mediation due to my ex-spouse's more assertive style. Cris Pastore created a process which enabled us to craft a fair and reasonable agreement that puts our children first and looks out for both of our interests also. Cris is the embodiment of professionalism and integrity, as well as kindness and patience. He facilitates a respectful experience for both parties. We are so grateful that we chose to work with him, and also that we chose mediation over litigation.

Cris provided an excellent personal touch throughout a lengthy legal procedure. Legal procedures can be complicated and sometimes confusing, but Cris was able to explain each step in easy to understand terms and hold our hands through the entire process. The ultimate outcome was exactly what we were promised and had hoped for, an excellent experience.

As I reflect on my year, I am grateful for all of the people that helped me with my transition. Thank you for all of your expertise & caring help. It made our divorce respectful & mostly stress free. So many people respect the way that we handled our divorce & I attribute a lot of it to both of you and your wonderful practice.

I would highly recommend Cris Pastore for your mediation needs. He made a very difficult process tolerable. He is very professional, calm and extremely organized. He was thorough and comprehensive in explaining the mediation and divorce process, and was quick to respond to any questions or issues. The process was so much less stressful than it could have been because of Cris’s guidance and knowledge. I would recommend him to any couple going through a divorce.

"Cris, thank you for the help with the divorce. It was not a process I ever saw for myself but it happened and you helped make it a lot easier than I thought it would have been. For that I want to say thank you very much, I know dealing with people going through this can be a pain in the a** for a lot of reasons. But you were very helpful and more than that to me you were always available and respectful. I appreciated that very much."

Cris was a great choice to handle my case. He was very knowledgable as well as compassionate through out our mediation process. He kept us focused and helped us work out any conflicts. The divorce mediation program handled all of our needs and Cris was there to guide us every step of the way.

Although the mediation process was a painful one, working with Cris Pastore was a solid choice in our case. He was able to mitigate some of the emotional flare ups, keep us both calm and focused and was very responsive to our needs. Although I am not 100 percent satisfied with my settlement (which is not unusual), I can live with it - and I know we saved thousands of dollars in legal fees by opting for mediation. Cris worked with us in a timely manner, allowing us to resolve our mediation and divorce within one year's time - a big help as we try to move on with our lives.

Cris seemed to me to be caring and remembered who I was and what was going on in my case. He was very informative and helpful in all my questions and I would recommend anyone who needs more legal advice in a difficult time such as divorce.
