Family Law continues to evolve into a highly complex legal field
Family Law continues to evolve into a highly complex legal field that should be handled by experienced family law lawyers who stay informed of the latest changes to case and statutory law and the new and innovative processes impacting family law.
In my role as Mediator, my mission, focus and fundamental philosophy as a NEUTRAL, is to encourage and empower represented clients with the assistance of their lawyers, to make a good-faith attempt to settle difficult and complex marital issues, to allow clients to have a voice in the mediation process, to provide the clients with the tools, information and options available to them in reaching an informed and reasonable decision in the mediation process that will be life-changing without regret or second thoughts (side-stepping the pain, anguish, uncertainty and cost of full-blown litigation) and to help navigate and orchestrate settlement of complex, emotional, financial and familial issues and disputes which will allow clients to take control of their lives and achieve real-world results and goals.
Having witnessed the emotional and financial toll exerted on families from protracted litigations, I am motivated to help serve attorneys and their clients to avoid the damaging and costly litigation process.

- Mr. Hermes is able to carefully explain and clarify all aspects of family law that may not be initially clear and also the range of results that can possibly be expected and help manage client expectations in the divorce/mediation process.
- Since family law encompasses the most personal and intimate aspects of relationships, it is critically important for attorneys and clients to select a mediator who can provide NEUTRALITY, guidance, compassion and communication and who has a personality and demeanor to establish the necessary trust and confidence to guide parties through this state of their relationship and solve problems that are a barrier to the resolution process.
