After coming to the conclusion that my marriage was in trouble, I was referred to Phil Newman.

Going through a divorce is a very emotional experience. Phil and Julie are like a yin and yang for a divorce team. Julie was always available whenever I needed an answer to my many questions and Phil was a force to reckon with at mediation. They are a great team!
