- FVFrankie VictoriaAug 11, 20255.0I don’t know where to start… Jill and Tania made the divorce so much easier. Through the rough times, I honestly don’t know what I would have done without them. Thank you for helping me start a new chapter in my life, guiding me through the divorce, and assisting with selling my old home and purchasing a new one.
- SKStephanie KelleyJun 4, 20255.0Jill and her team were amazing to work with. Very patient warm and kind and stayed very neutral to both parties. Would highly recommend her for mediation services. Cannot say enough good things. She is the best!
- AVAlexa VenturiniApr 1, 20255.0My husband, a caring third party and I mediated our divorce with Atty. Jill Brakeman. Jill and her assistant, Tania, made what could have been a fraught process, thoughtful, fair and efficient. Jills compassion and kindness made us both feel supported and understood. We could not recommend Jill and Tania more highly for a professional and compassionate divorce mediation.

- BDB DJun 6, 20185.0Jill was our attorney while we bought a house in CT from another state. Her and Tania kept me in the loop, sent clear instructions, and helped us close without any issues. Fantastic!
