About

After years of advocacy work, I now devote my practice exclusively to non-litigation conflict resolution services in family law.  These include mediation, consulting services to clients in mediation with other mediators, and collaborative law.  I also draft relationship agreements, such as pre-nuptial, post-nuptial, and cohabitation agreements, for couples seeking to memorialize their understandings regarding property, support and custody.    I have had hundreds of hours of training in alternative dispute resolution processes, including training with Gary Friedman at the Center for Mediation in Law and with Roger Fisher and Robert Mnookin at Harvard Law School.

When I was going through a tough transition, Mickey was a warm and compassionate listener to direct me to appropriate resources to help me. Mickey's mediator consultation helped me see that there is hope and various options to get through a painful process.

Hired her as mediator, did an excellent job. Definitely worth meeting her to see if she fits your situation. Appreciated how much she seemed to care and how she prioritized the well-being of our child in everything.

Getting divorced was the hardest time in my life, but luckily we found Mickey who helped my ex-wife and I figure everything out through mediation. We have kids and we didn't want them seeing us "fighting" during this process. She is incredibly knowledgeable and professional, but is also a genuinely nice, warm person who I felt I could really talk to. I can't even imagine going through this incredibly difficult time without someone like Mickey, and I would recommend her to anyone.

This woman is an absolute nightmare of a human being. She has no empathy towards humanity and is only interested in whether her interests are upheld. Find someone with compassion who gives back to their community. She is a classist taker.

My wife and I hired "Mickey" Katz to mediate our divorce. We paid her up front a retainer and expected a competent and professional lawyer to help us -- but her services were incompetent and her behavior was NOT professional. She suggested a monthly child/spousal support amount that was outrageously inaccurate. She also wrote us sarcastic emails that showed NO sensitivity to the challenge and stress of getting divorced. With many choices of highly competent and kind mediation attorneys to choose from in the Los Angeles area, Michelle Katz is not among them. Avoid her at all costs. .
