San Mateo Family Law Mediation Attorney

Warren Major LLP — Selective, Strategic Mediation for Family Law Matters

Schedule a Confidential Consultation

Divorce and family disputes are deeply personal — and often profoundly stressful.
When finances, children, and futures are on the line, the process matters as much as the outcome.

At Warren Major LLP, we offer a distinctive approach to San Mateo family law mediation that is strategic, confidential, and inherently focused on resolution rather than escalation.

We are not a courtroom gladiator firm.
We are a boutique law firm and a San Mateo divorce mediation attorney practice that accepts only a limited number of cases — ensuring intensive preparation, thoughtful strategy, and exceptional advocacy for each client we represent.

Why Mediation?

A Better Path Forward in San Mateo County
Family law cases often become expensive, drawn-out, and emotionally draining when handled adversarially in court. Litigation can cost families tens of thousands of dollars and create public courtroom records that remain accessible to third parties.
Mediation offers a fundamentally different path — one rooted in collaboration, controlled negotiation, and private resolution. Rather than allowing a judge with limited context to dictate terms, mediation empowers both parties to shape outcomes that are tailored to their unique family dynamics and goals.

As your San Mateo family law mediation attorney, we help you:

  • Save time and money
  • Reduce conflict and emotional stress
  • Maintain privacy and dignity
  • Preserve relationships, especially for co-parenting
  • Retain control over outcomes, not surrender them to a stranger in court

What Mediation Can Resolve

Our mediation practice addresses a wide range of family law issues, including:
  • Divorce settlement negotiations
  • Child custody and parenting plans
  • Child support
  • Spousal support
  • Division of assets and debts
  • Business and professional practice disputes
  • Post-judgment modifications
  • Prenuptial and postnuptial agreements

Mediation is not a one-size-fits-all process. It is a structured negotiation supported by legal expertise.

With mediation, you can achieve comprehensive agreements that reflect your priorities, often with far less adversarial tension and unpredictability than traditional litigation.

What Makes Warren Major LLP Different

We are intentional. We are selective. We are strategic.
  • Boutique and Selective
We limit the number of mediation cases we accept to ensure deep focus on each matter. Your case is never one of many, it is crafted with precision.
  • Expertise in Complex Family Law Issues

As a San Mateo family law mediation attorney, we understand how to bring clarity to multi-layered disputes involving:

  • High-asset portfolios
  • Executive compensation
  • Business ownership
  • Real estate holdings
  • Custody complications
  • Support dynamics
  • Confidential and Controlled

Mediation stays private. Nothing discussed in mediation becomes public record, and dialogue remains confidential.

This contrasts sharply with litigation, where sensitive information can become accessible through court documents.

  • Collaborative Without Compromise

We do not promote conflict.
We negotiate resolution.

But we prepare every case with the discipline of a trial lawyer, giving your mediation strategy undeniable authority.

Mediation Is Empowerment, Not Avoidance

Some assume mediation is only for amicable cases. That is not true.

Mediation is effective even when emotions are elevated, provided there is commitment to structure, clarity, and disciplined negotiation.

As your San Mateo divorce mediation attorney, we ensure that:
  • Discussions remain productive
  • Legal standards are upheld
  • Your rights are protected
  • Outcomes are durable

Mediation gives you input, the courtroom gives you output. In our practice, we believe those who decide together are better positioned to live well apart.
