    Testimonials

    • “I would like to thank you for your time on Saturday at the mediation session. I found the session very helpful and I believe you went through all of the information, protocols and possible routes with respect to separation / divorce, children and finances, in a very professional and clear manner.”

      Mr S

    • “Just to thank you for all your help and should mediation be necessary in the future, I shall recommend we return to you for more help!”

      Mrs S

    • Both my spouse and I were pleased with the support, understanding and empathy we received from Euan Davidson.  The sessions helped us reach a settlement without lawyers and in a more collaborative and less adversarial style. Separating is always emotional and stressful and going through lawyers first didn’t make sense.  The savings on legal costs could be put into a secured account for the kids future. I totally endorse mediation and have hesitation in recommending Godalming Family Mediation.

      Mr A, January 2016

    • “In our particular case, we had already agreed that a straight forward split of assets was fair and sensible, with additional consideration / provision of child maintenance in line with the law and fair spousal maintenance based on agreed need. Mediation was helpful in that rather than using two separate lawyers who would by definition and at enormous expense to both parties, drive the “best deal” for their individual client, mediation provided a single point of arbitration to ensure both parties were not being unreasonable or in a positive sense, acting as a single person to assess reasonableness for both parties. Whilst not wishing to make disparaging remarks about the legal profession, an individual lawyer representing an individual client has only the interests of billable hours and their client in mind, at the expense of the third party and ultimately in effect, their client (the “pot” to share much reduced as it is turned into legal fees) – a very poor way to settle a dispute where only the lawyers ultimately win. In our case, even having delivered a mediated agreement, individual lawyers still managed to make seemingly huge charges for what appeared to be a cut and paste exercise from mediated settlement onto standard court forms. I appreciate that the courts wish to see that both parties are individually represented however feel sorry about my experience with lawyer (bad) compared with experience of mediator (good) in what is a very difficult time.”

      Mr H, January 2016

    • “We really appreciate all the help that you have given us throughout the process – it was a great way to reach a final settlement without the inevitable expense and impersonal dealings that would have happened with solicitors”

      Mrs P

    • “Euan is an excellent mediator. At first, I was very apprehensive as I did not know what will happen. Through Euan’s patience, empathetic listening ability, calmness, understanding, preparation and seeing it from all parties sides in a sincere way, we found common ground and were able to find a way that worked for all parties without going into the demystified legal process and incurring huge sums of money as well as emotional distress. Instead, we were able to go through the process, my kids can still remain in their stable home, my wife and I parted as ‘friends’ (or close to it) rather than enemies and I have a fabulous relationship with my children whom I love very much. That is the sign of a great mediator. Thank you Euan.”
