For Attorneys and Professionals

How we work with attorneys, financial professionals, therapists, and coaches.

Divorce is rarely handled by one professional alone. Crossroads Neutral works alongside attorneys, financial professionals, therapists, and coaches to help clients reach durable agreements privately. This page explains which cases we are suited to and how we collaborate.

Cases we are well suited to

  • High-asset and financially complex divorces — business interests, RSUs and stock options, executive compensation, multiple properties
  • Couples where one or both spouses work in technology or healthcare
  • South Asian and intercultural families, including those with property or family ties abroad
  • Clients who prefer to mediate in Hindi, Punjabi, or Urdu
  • Couples who need evening or weekend sessions, or who live in different places

For attorneys

We are neutral and do not give legal advice, so we encourage each party to obtain independent counsel. We welcome consulting and review attorneys, share drafts for review, and can accommodate attorney-assisted sessions. Joti Basi is trained in collaborative law and is a member of the King County Bar Association's Collaborative Section, King County Collaborative Law, the International Academy of Collaborative Professionals, and the Washington Mediation Association.

For CDFAs and financial professionals

Complex cases benefit from financial expertise. We are glad to work with a neutral financial professional engaged by both spouses, or with each spouse's own adviser, and to incorporate valuations, tax analysis, and cash-flow projections into the mediation. See high-asset divorce mediation and equity compensation.

For therapists and divorce coaches

Emotional readiness strongly affects how mediation goes. We are happy to coordinate with a client's therapist or coach, with the client's permission, so that sessions are paced appropriately. We also offer divorce coaching ourselves, and refer elsewhere when a different kind of support is needed.

When to refer

  • Both spouses are willing to try resolving matters outside court
  • There are no unaddressed safety concerns (we screen every case)
  • The finances are complex but both spouses can make full disclosure
  • Cultural or language considerations would benefit from a mediator who understands them
