1. We had been working with attorney’s for about a year and going nowhere, just spending money. We had decided to try mediation and Josh was recommended through a friend. It was the smartest thing we did. Two sessions and we got our stuff settled and were moving on. I would strongly recommend giving mediation a try with Josh. He was very professional and fair. He provides you all the paperwork you need and prepares you for court. Most importantly he saves you money. 2. My x-husband and I are grateful for MWI helping us navigate a very difficult time in our lives. We'd both wanted to avoid the extreme costs of court and a lengthy process. We first contacted an attorney and asked if they would be able to mediate. While the attorney told us they could accommodate, it became clear during our first meeting this wasn't the case. This was especially disappointing as any divorce is a very delicate. This is when my x and I searched for a different option and found Josh. Josh was flexible and accommodated our schedules by meeting in the evening as we both work full time. He met with us together and then separately to ensure we felt our needs had been met and to ensure we felt the purposed agreement was fair. My x husband and I still stand with the agreement Josh helped with. We're co-parenting successfully and most importantly our children were impacted as little as possible. 3. At a very difficult time for my family I reached out to Josh. He offered council and services that helped repair a dire situation. Transitioning my family into mediation was very delicate and he eased us into the process. And although there was no one session, event, or discussion that resolved our situation, Josh and MWI played a crucial role in getting us where we are today. Better days are ahead and I will be forever grateful. Thank you Josh and MWI. 4. Josh did a terrific job of guiding us through challenging time. He gave us an overview of the process and walked us through the steps in a professional, low pressure approach. He is very knowledgeable of the entire divorce process and what to expect with the courts. We chose MWI based on reviews we found and Josh completely lived up to our expectations. I would highly recommend him to any couple looking for a fair and non-confrontational divorce. 5. Things couldn't have gone any smoother. In court, we especially noticed other couples having issues with their paperwork and we had no problems. We recommended you to our brother-in-law’s and they just began mediation meetings. Thank you very much. 6. Josh Hoch skillfully mediated a divorce for my wife and I. Josh was experienced, friendly, and personable. His calming presence was instrumental in keeping tensions low throughout negotiations. Josh was recommended by a close friend, and I would certainly recommend his expert services to others. 7. Josh is very professional and has been extremely helpful during this difficult time providing relevant advice all along. He was quick to respond with valuable information, which enabled me to tackle the paperwork much more easily and efficiently. I can't recommend him enough to anyone else going through a divorce. 8. Josh Hoch from MWI was a great help as we navigated the mediation process. There is nothing easy or pleasant about mediating a divorce, so it is critical to have a clearly neutral yet supportive individual leading you through it. Josh is that kind of person. Our goal was to avoid contentious litigation, yet to both come out feeling we had done our best to agree on a fair settlement. Mediation can be the path to this, and having the right person leading the process, such as Josh, is essential. I highly recommend Josh and his organization. 9 . Josh is a true professional in every sense of the word. His experience, expertise and knowledge in mediation is an invaluable asset to his clients. When in need of the very best, Josh Hoch of MWI is the only choice.

MWI provided very rapid response after we contacted them and initiated the mediation only a few days after we spoke to them. We had a French speaking requirement and MWI provided us with a mediator who could speak excellent French. The mediation took a few weeks but I felt that the mediator was on top of the case and helped finalize a mutually beneficial Memorandum of Understanding. After the Mediation was completed, Josh H, from MWI was a great resource of help to put the Divorce file together and make sure that filing went smoothly. I am strongly recommending MWI in a divorce mediation process. It did take several hours of negotiation but at the end of the day, it is 10 time cheaper than involving lawyers and have both parties fight.
Josh Hoch , 2017My ex and I are very grateful for Nnena Odim's support and guidance throughout the separation agreement process; we felt very comfortable, and knew just what to expect from our hearing and from the Judge. I also greatly appreciated that Nnena was able to offer her services to us as a Notary Public, and even took the time to answer a few last-minute questions as they came up (after the separation agreement was completed). Of additional note is their efficiency and promptness--I enjoyed working with Josh Hoch. He was always very quick to answer/return our phone calls, and very personable and clear in his communication. Also, I can't begin to express how grateful I was for MWI's adjustable rate (based on our income). If anyone has the unfortunate need to seek similar mediation services, without question I know that I would recommend Nnena/Josh/MWI to them.
