Divorce Mediation Services

Divorces can often involve bitter disputes between the spouses. When both parties are willing to compromise, it is possible to work toward an amicable separation in which both parties - and any children involved - win.

At The Powell Law Firm, our attorneys advocate the use of mediation in family law matters like divorce for certain couples. John Powell III is a member of the Association of Attorney-Mediators and the Texas Association of Mediators. These associations require that family law lawyers uphold high standards for conduct and resolution of disputes. We work to reach a settlement that is in the best interest of the parties involved.

The Advantage Of Using Our Divorce Mediation Attorneys

The process of mediation involves both parties in a dispute meeting with a neutral third party. The mediator allows both sides to express their concerns and objectives and facilitates more productive communication between the parties. By taking the adversarial nature of a courtroom setting out of the equation, an amicable agreement between the parties can be reached.

When individuals choose The Powell Law Firm to mediate their divorce, they can expect a fair assessment of the areas of dispute and a commitment to resolving disagreements as quickly and inexpensively as possible. By utilizing our Pearland mediation attorneys, they can finalize a divorce in less time and without the expenses that full-scale litigation can entail.

What Our Clients
Have To Say

  • “I wanted to take the time to thank you [John Powell III] for helping me through a tough time in my life. Your guidance and voice of reason really helped me more than you will ever know. I had a previous attorney that I felt could have really cared less about me or the situation. Once on board with you, I felt an immediate difference and I was thankful for your quick response. I could not have finished this process without you and I am glad you were able to have so much hands on time with me. Again, thank you for everything you did for me and my son!”

    (S.R.)

  • “John Powell III was very helpful through the entire process of my divorce which involved a custody fight over my 3-year-old daughter. Mr. Powell has a strong working rapport with the Brazoria County family court. He was very patient, walking me through every step, knowing what to expect from my wife's attorney. We were ultimately successful and I would highly recommend him. As for my daughter, she is doing great. She has advanced to the preschool 2 class early, she is now 3.5 and now goes to school with the 4-5 year old's. Her emotional and behavioral issues have disappeared. Thanks to Mr. Powell's hard work my daughter will have a great chance at life.”

    (K.K.)

  • “Just wanted to say thanks for handling my post-divorce property division issue in a timely and professional manner. Especially your attention to detail and some quick-witted humor as well. Your firm was referred to us by a friend which can always be somewhat awkward but you made us feel at ease through the entire process. I would not hesitate to recommend your firm to anyone if the need arises.”

    (J.B.)

  • “Dear Mr. Powell: I want to thank you for your great service and express my gratitude. I am extremely pleased how everything was handled and I have the highest possible opinion about your professionalism, the quality of your service and your attitude toward me as a client. Thank you again, best regards.”

    (M.K.S.)

  • “I had what I learned was not your stereotypical divorce case. John Powell III was extremely understanding of the situation and worked with myself and my former spouse to navigate the legal pitfalls in our, and our children's case. Everything was resolved amicably and with minimal impact to our family. Without Mr. Powell's assistance I do not know that we would have gotten to such a positive place.”

    (A.W.)

  • “John Powell III is a compassionate and thorough attorney. My case was a complex custody issue that required work in two wide-spread counties. Mr. Powell was able to efficiently overcome this added challenge. He is patient and clear in explaining concepts of the law. Even after the case was closed, Mr. Powell was available to explain the final judgment and to help ensure we were following the Judge's intent. It is very comforting to know that if additional issues arise he is there to act as my advocate.”
