I am so thankful to have had Michael help my ex and I navigate our divorce. He was a kind and warming presence during a very difficult time for me. He clearly explained the process of divorce, and helped work through the details that would have otherwise been very difficult to navigate on our own. Michael certainly helped us to avoid what would have certainly been more emotional, expensive, and lengthy. I am sincerely thankful for Michael’s expert help in aiding me through this process gracefully. I would highly recommend his services.

Compassionate and insightful are the two words that come to mind when describing our interactions with Michael Dwyer. My ex-husband and I had been trying for months to reach a divorce agreement to no avail. Someone recommended Michael Dwyer. Michael, within an hour or so of talking to us, was able to recognize what was holding each of us back. He worked with us, separately and together, helping us reach an agreement very speedily; one that worked for both of us. He also went out of his way to make sure that the divorce paperwork was filed before he left on vacation. I highly recommend Michael Dwyer. He will work with you with compassion and insight. He will help you transcend your current anger and bitterness and reach an agreement that you can live with years down the road! FYI – our divorce was finalized in Sep 2019. Thank you, Michael!

Michael Dwyer worked to mediate a coparenting and financial agreement for my ex and I following our separation. He has also worked with us over the years to modify the agreement when needed. For these years, Michael has worked with us with compassion, understanding and fairness. He has helped us through difficult conflicts with patience, and deep understanding. working with Micheal helped make a confusing, complex and often heartbreaking process easier to navigate through to a place of more peace and clarity. I am deeply appreciative of his help and guidance!

I am so happy I hired Michael to help me through the divorce process. He was compassionate, calm, very professional, firm when it was needed, knowledgeable, and he responded to phone calls and e-mails in a timely manner. The whole process was stressful, but Michael’s presence and support made it very manageable, both logistically and emotionally. I really felt like he had my back and was an unwavering advocate from the beginning to the end.

Divorce is never easy. But by hiring Michael Dwyer rather than going the traditional divorce route, the pain (emotional and financial) was minimized. Michael took a situation that presented unique challenges and used his calming, caring personality to work through those challenges. I cannot imagine how combative and expensive a traditional process would have been. Bravo, Michael!

I just wanted take a moment to thank you so very much for all of your help! It has been a tremendous journey to get this divorce finished. I have been reflecting on your patience, skill and wisdom that I know you have gained from so many years of experience. I’m so glad to have had the opportunity to be in your care as I traversed my life transition. As of today I am fully moved into my new home! I’m not all unpacked but the feel of finally being here and settling in is wonderful. I could not have arrived here without your assistance.

Divorce is such a painful process, but it was made much easier by my attorney Michael Dwyer. It was important to me to have an ethical divorce. I didn't want to have any regrets about the process, and I knew that was possible since emotions were running high. I was deeply financially involved in my ex-husband's business, so splitting our assets was tricky. Michael generated ideas for solutions that were fair and reasonable, and his calm, kind demeanor helped me navigate the most painful chapter of my life. I am truly grateful.

Michael Dwyer was better than I anticipated. He's very experienced, level-headed and knowledgeable. The thing that stuck out the most to me during the divorce/mediation process was that he prioritized our child. My ex and I may no longer be married, but our child still has both of us as parents, and Michael understood and prioritized this fact -- many decisions relied on this important foundation of our daughter's future. This seemed to arise from his experience with helping others get through divorce and also his experience as a parent. I felt that Michael brought a much needed balance to the table: compassionate and logical, courteous and stern, and through such an unpleasant situation, he was efficient and did not waste our time. It was not fun or easy, after all, it is a divorce. However, I feel incredibly indebted to Michael for how he made such an unpleasant life experience as smooth as he could, fair with compromises on both sides, and was always on the job with his listening, mediating, and legal progress to get us divorced.

Michael and Jane were a pleasure to work with in a unpleasant situation. Their skill and sensitivity dealing with the emotional and logistical tangle that's required to unwind a long term relationship was much appreciated and needed. Michael was very good at keeping the financial costs at a minimum.

Going through a divorce - especially when it's not something you ever imagined happening, can be brutal and devastating. Michael and Jane went out of their way to make things as easy as possible for us. Cost wise it was surprisingly affordable—something I put down to Michael's intuition and gift as a mediator. He made us both feel heard and validated. He did not rush us and was patience personified. Michael's kindness throughout this difficult process is something I will never forget. I highly recommend Dwyer Mediation.

Michael was great to work with, and I appreciated that he was calming, maintained perspective and had endless patience with my questions. I was glad he was on my team!

Divorcing after 33 years of marriage can be very draining emotionally and financially. Michael did an amazing job throughout the mediation process at a fraction of the cost of an adversarial divorce. He is very professional, knowledgeable, efficient, caring, and impartial. If tension would build up during mediation, Michael did an awesome job at helping my former husband and I find a solution that we were both satisfied with. The whole process went very smoothly and I highly recommend his mediation services.
