The Lawyer’s Daily recently published Hilary Linton’s article, “Ontario family mediation: World-Class Excellence”, which is a rebuttal piece to the controversial Gary Joseph article, “Meditation: The unregulated Profession“.

“There are so many excellent family mediators out there. This article addresses the lack of knowledge about mediation in our family law community and proposes some solutions.”

In episode 11 of the YouTube series, “The Dish on #Divorce“, Hilary Linton spoke with Jennifer Barkin about the success of mediation, the process of getting started with it, and the various resources available for families to negotiate issues outside of the courtroom. View the episode here.
