“Deborah was one of 3 mediator listed to be chosen from, and my lawyer had previously worked with Deborah and highly recommended her. Even though Deborah’s fee was slightly higher than the other mediators, I felt at the end of the day Deborah’s experience in family law was worth the price. This was especially true after extra time was needed ( after 8 hrs) to finish up and I really appreciated the lawyers and Deborah being committed to ensure all items were addressed and settled. Deborah, I will definitely be recommending you to any friends or family who need a mediator. ”

“Thank you for providing Wednesday’s mediation. What I experienced was unanticipated and left me beyond impressed, in many ways. I’d like you to be aware of that, and of my gratitude. You are admirably formidable.”

“Deborah, whilst I understand it’s something you do every day; I just wanted to reach out and thank you for how professional and personable you were yesterday. Obviously for those of us who don’t face those types of challenges very often, the whole process is overwhelming, and you made it as easy as it could be…. even when the client becomes a blubbering mess. I’ll go and leave a Google review or similar now and would happily recommend your services to anyone. Outstanding.”

“Thank you Deb, for your empathy, your pragmatism, your honesty and the kindness you have shown me throughout the meditation process. I can’t say I look forward to ever doing it again, but my gratitude for your part in reaching an outcome for myself and my family will always remain in the back of my mind.”

“I found Deborah to be respectful, empathetic and skilled in her approach to the day. She absolutely made me feel that my concerns and frustrations were being heard and acknowledged whilst maintaining the focus on why we were there (at mediation). The concept of looking at risk management and reality testing was a great way to set up the approach to the day. Thank you very much for the result on the day..”

“Deborah was extremely professional, very thorough, empathetic and just very straight forward and easy to work with and communicate with. I felt very prepared for the day and as such cannot recommend what could have been done better.”

“My thanks to you for your professional and empathetic services”

“I just wanted to thank you for all your patience and assistance to the parties enabling them to reach an agreement. My client is pleased that it is all over.”

“Mediation was quite an emotional experience, but Deb was able to make sense of the situation and navigate it to a sensible outcome.”

“The parties very much benefited from your excellent assistance and insight, for which our client and I were very grateful.”

“Thank you for your assistance today, Deb. My client really appreciated your guidance and kindness, in difficult circumstances for her.”

“Deborah is one of my preferred go to mediators for all of my family law matters, with a nearly 100% success rate for all matters Deborah has mediated for me over the years. The reason for Deborah’s success as a mediator is not only because she is an excellent family lawyer, having practised exclusively in the area of family law for many years (having the utmost respect from her peers), but most importantly, because she genuinely cares about achieving a positive outcome for both parties at a mediation, and treats opposing parties with respect and listens to what each party has to say. Deborah works very, very hard during her mediations to help the parties resolve their matter without the matter needing to either end up in Court, or progress further through Court if the matter is already in Court. Thank-you Deborah for all of my matters which you have kept out of Court due to your excellent mediation skills. I would highly recommend Deborah to other family lawyers and to the parties themselves for any family law mediation.”

“We thank Ms Awyzio for her skillful assistance during the Mediation which lay the foundation for the resolution of the matter.”

“Thank you for your time and help yesterday. For me this was a positive experience and I am surprised by how much confidence you gave me in talking to my Wife.”

“Please thank Deborah for me, she was very professional and worked really hard to help the parties come to an agreement. My client is extremely happy with the settlement reached and she thanks Deborah as well.”

“Thank you so much for your professionalism and your compassion at our mediation on Monday. It was a really stressful day for me and my anxiety was through the roof but you managed to keep me calm. You explained things to us in a concise way and I was able to understand where I stood at all stages of the proceedings.”

“I can’t tell you how grateful I am for your common sense advice.”

“Thanks for your time and not coming into the discussion with any preconceptions about me. You were very professional.”

“Hi Deb, Just a personal thank you for you assistance on this matter. I was really impressed with your mediation style. You’ll definitely be on my regular panel of mediators.”

“Dear Deborah, Just a short note to thank you for the way in which you facilitated our mediation last week. I was dreading the process with little hope of an outcome. I appreciate the relaxed, respectful manner and environment in which the negotiations were handled and that an outcome was achieved. After a drawn out and traumatic period I feel very hopeful for the future. Thank you.”

“Your services have been honest, professional and supportive but most importantly you were considerate and understanding. I hold you in high regard.”

“I can’t thank you enough for making this less daunting than expected. I had heard some back experiences from others, so I was expecting the worst. You are extremely calm and easy to speak with, your level of professionalism is unquestionably of extremely high standard.”

“I was relaxed and you made things feel calm and under control.”

“I was expecting it to be an extremely stressful day and it was much the opposite.”

“Thanks for your help with this matter. I thought you were a real asset on a tough case. My client, his Father and I all appreciated your skill, demeanour and good humour over our two days of mediation.”

“You are excellent at your job and it is very admirable. Overall I found the mediation a calming experience.”
