Scott-
“Before having you involved to guide with communication and coordination my life was upside down with anxiety, fear, manipulation and intimidation. I feel your involvement and perspective is the ONLY thing that has brought resolution, agreement and results where there was only circle talk, much frustration and confusion. Thank you very much for bringing me perspective, resolution, boundaries and accountability. The kids and I very much need your involvement through this time in our lives.”
– Jeff, Wilsonville, Oregon.
“When my lawyer recommended you as parent coordinator I was skeptical that anyone could help us. But she was right! You have been a God send for our family!”
– Hanna, NW Portland, Oregon.
“You really saved us today. I was sure everything was going to fall apart and you saved us! Thank you so much and our children thank you as well!”
– Ann, Portland, Oregon.
“I really learned a lot today listening to you talk with us about our children. You are right…everyone can use a coach. I am thankful you are ours!”
– John, Clackamas, Oregon.
“I do not know how you did it, but you got us a deal that makes sense. I am sorry, I know I got a bit hot at first. But you brought both us back to earth and got it done! You are the man! Thank you.”
– Jeffery, Oregon City, Oregon.
