Areas of Practice Mediation

Not every couple wants to engage in a War of the Roses version of divorce or have their differences and private matters get aired in open court. For those couples still unable to come to an agreement, and also for same sex couples for whom divorce courts are not even an option, RCA offers mediation services with Nicole Centracchio, one of the firms managing partners. Ms. Centracchio is a certified mediator who has the skills and patience to work toward a fair agreement where each party will rightly know that he/she has controlled their own outcome in the case, as opposed to submitting their future to the hands of a judge that may never have the opportunity to fully understand their situation.

Having received her accreditation and training through Northwestern University in Chicago, Ms. Centracchio follows professional and ethical practices to maintain a dignified setting where fairness, respect, and minimization of conflict are the ultimate goals. She believes that the process works not only to maintain peace of mind, but also to promote a friendly, working or co-parenting relationship post divorce. This level of cooperation is especially important for those parties who have children.

For gay and lesbian clients who do not wish to mediate, RCA offers professional advice and guidance in the valuation and division of assets, as well as issues relating to child custody, visitation, and support.
