My husband admitted to threatening to kill me in front our mediator at Next Phase Legal, the mediator quit a month later. I asked for the documents showing that my husband admitted this and I was told by the owner via email to file a restraining order if I feel threatened and refused to give me the documents. Added after owner commented: The comments written by the owner in response are not accurate and I can post photos of emails and our correspondence so you can make an informed decision to choose or not to choose this mediation firm.

Although no one wants to go thru a divorce, Stephen at NextPhase made the process seamless. He walked us thru the process and over the course of several meetings we discussed and came to an agreement on topics such as custody, child support, selling or keeping marital assets, life insurance, 401k, etc. I would recommend NextPhase for mediation.

I have worked with next phase legal to help me with my child custody case. Stephen and his paralegal Karen have been such big help in helping me with my case. I have worked with a lawyer in the past and she had told me that with my situation with getting full custody that she wouldn’t be able to help me. Stephen has helped me in so many ways and was very knowledgeable with ever question that I had asked. I had worked through the portal app that they have used and have received all my paperwork and documents. It was great being able to see everything that has been sent to the courts and back and forth. It helped me to keep track of my payments and was a great form of communication between us. I would highly suggest Stephen to everyone as an attorney and will be doing so if I need legal help in the future. i have gotten everything I had asked for in court and thank Stephen and Karen for that. thank you!!!

It was a blessing to find Steve and his team. Steve is a phenomenal mediator and helped us reach an agreement and get to our goal of finalizing a divorce.

I’ve never had a lawyer before and Stephen was very professional and made me comfortable when it came to my uncomfortable family situation. I highly recommend him to anyone who needs assistance. 10/10, if I ever need legal advice again I know exactly where I’m going.

Stephen McDonough represented me very effectively in divorce. He has a strong work ethic and was always well prepared for each step. What I most appreciate about him is his sensitivity to the needs of a situation. When a light touch was sufficient, he demonstrated himself to be likeable and pleasant. When a little more force was necessary, he brought to bear the necessary authority without ever escalating a situation. He deserves my highest recommendation, and I am ever grateful for his work.

I used Next Phase Legal for a prenuptial agreement. Stephen and his staff were friendly and professional throughout the process even when it sometimes took me awhile to produce the required documents. My questions were always answered thoroughly and promptly and I felt that the legal advice given throughout the process was very well thought out. Wouldn't hesitate to use Next Phase should I need to in the future, but here's hoping I won't! Thanks again Stephen and staff!

Stephen McDonough truly cares about his clients. He goes above and beyond, makes you feel comfortable and gives knowledgeable advice. He has a way of simplifying the process and breaking it down. He's been a blessing and has helped me resolve everything in the best possible way. He makes himself available to help even after the divorce. If you're looking for someone who will make you feel supported, well-informed, and you want a smooth & streamlined process, I highly recommend Next Phase Legal

I could not be happier with the service I received from Tiffany during my recent divorce. She is an extremely knowledgeable attorney who went out of her way to ensure my international divorce proceedings went smoothly. Throughout the process, Tiffany kept me up to date and informed. Tiffany is efficient, thorough and a pleasure to work with. The entire team at Next Phase Legal was wonderfully supportive and I am thrilled with the experience that I had.

Highly recommend Next Phase Legal and Stephen McDonough. Steve is professional, knowledgeable and helps make a difficult situation a little less stressful.
