What Makes Bill Leininger's Proven Mediation Effective

Quick answer

What is Bill Leininger's mediation style? Balanced and forward-focused, says the New York divorce attorney—he invites each spouse to share who they are, then keeps talks off past grievances, since New York's long-standing no-fault law makes them moot. Married himself for 54 years, he treats marriage as hard work and quietly counsels rushing couples to give reconciliation a chance first.
