I have worked with Maryana on a number of mediations, as post-mediation counsel for one of the parties. I have found her work to be thoughtful, sensitive and thorough. As a licensed social worker, Maryana takes the time to understand peoples’ needs and wants, and helps them understand the difference. She is family-centered and helps each party leave the mediation with their dignity and self-respect intact.

Dear Maryana, I want to thank you very much for the services provided. Our case has been finalized today. Thanks to you, the whole process was simpler and kinder as it could have been. You made sure that all our issues are resolved without us fighting and screaming on each other. Our review attorney had complimented the agreement that you have helped us to create. Thank you again very much.

Maryana Kanda is a mediator I recommend for the hardest cases. Her pragmatic attention to the details of the parties’ individual and joint situations, and her sensitivity and insight bring remarkable resolutions to highly charged emotional conflicts. I have had numerous clients who used her mediation services and all were very pleased with her professionalism, dedication and resolve to see the matter through.

A. and I got our final judgment this morning, and I want to thank you for making this process as un-painful as possible. Your work got praise from everybody up and down the chain (lawyer, judge,…).

Thank you Maryana for guiding me and P. through a very difficult period of my life. You have certainly helped us to minimize the pain and resolve our issues as quickly as possible.

I have acted as consulting or review attorney for one of the parties on several cases mediated by Maryana and have recommended her to clients wanting to begin the mediation process. Mutual clients report high satisfaction and I find her to be culturally sensitive and thorough both in her work with her clients and in the drafting of her MOU’s.
