We had such a pleasant experience.

Linda spent 7 hours going through our 17 year marriage to help us make decisions in the best interest of our children and each other. We had such a pleasant experience. Linda was both professional and knowledgeable. I am so glad that my husband and I chose the civil, respectable services which have made this extremely tough decision one that will better the lives of our children and us for the future. We can not say enough great things about her and her proven process. Many thanks Linda!!!

Divorce made easier and a whole lot cheaper

Thank you judge Linda! I was trapped in a very highly emotional divorce with my husband and our 2 lawyers. We were getting nowhere fast and the bills were getting higher and higher everytime we me with lawyers! Finally my husband found Judge Linda at CCMA Solutions and suggested we give mediation a try. I was very skeptical and didn't want to pay someone else to do the same thing. I chatted with her once to see what the process was and decided it made sense. We also decided to go alone and skip the double billing of attorneys. I still can't believe we got it all resolved. She helped us complete all of the paperwork and agree on all of our issues. Sure we had some heated discussion, but Linda kept us on point and was able to keep things civil somehow. I find it hard to believe we could use mediation, but it made sense and was a lot less crazy than all of us arguing with lawyers back and forth. I saved a lot of money by not going to court and I have an agreement I can live with. I don't think its crazy anymore.

Divorce Mediation

My husband and I used Judge Linda for our divorce and she was super! We resolved our whole divorce in one day with about 5 hours and left with signed papers to file with court. It was so easy and she helped keep the peace while addressing the stuff that needed to be decided. We didn't have money to pay an attorney a large retainer and I was afraid that court would make things worse between my husband and I with the kids. We put together a plan for our kids and divided all of our stuff and it's done! WOW I never would have believed it and I highly recommend Judge Linda to mediate your divorce!!

Got us our BEST CASE SCENARIO!

After being a small claims battle for over a year we finally decided to try mediation with Linda. The other side was being difficult so we decided to hire Linda as our lawyer instead of mediation. I am so glad we did because she was able to settle out of court. They ended up dropping the case without us having to pay anything!

Her fees were beyond reasonable and she was great to deal with. Hopefully we never are in this situation again but if needed we have her number on speed dial!

I couldn't recommend her more!

Done in a day!

While I wish I never had to contact Judge Linda, she clearly has experience in the field. There were a few times my wife and I struggled to come to terms on things, and Linda helped find a solution. Cheaper and "nicer" than having to go through one or most likely two lawyers.

Easy Divorce Mediation

At the beginning of my divorce mediation, Judge Linda took the time to get to know me and the specific details of my situation. I appreciate the fact she listened!! She was prepared and reviewed all the details. What I appreciate the most is fact that she is strait forward, direct, and to the point. I would recommend mediation with Judge Linda!

Patient, Understanding and Thorough

I met with Linda to talk about mediation for my ex-husband and I. We have been in a very contentious post divorce struggle for the last 4 years. During my meeting with Linda, she was very understanding of my situation and the high conflict nature of it. She listened to everything, even though it was a lot and took longer than she had planned. I never felt she was trying to rush me through, but rather she asked further questions to better understand the situation. I also appreciated how straight forward she is, which helps in situations where people are arguing just to argue. Before our meeting ended, she gave me a clear to do list and I left feeling like there was hope for my situation. I wish my ex-husband and I would have mediated with Linda from the very beginning. I highly recommend Linda to anyone, especially those in a high conflict divorce situation.

Won’t use anyone else!

I had my first experience as a family law attorney with Judge Van de Water in a court ordered mediation. I will use her on my cases for all future mediations. She came prepared, having reviewed everything she could about the case. It was one of the most high conflict cases I've had, and Judge Van de Water was able to take a case that I thought was certainly headed to trial and used her common sense, out-side-the-box, and compassionate approach to help the parties ultimately find a resolution that avoided the trial. Often times parties just want to be heard, and Judge Van de Water takes the time to listen and uses that to find the solution that fits best with both parties' priorities and needs. Like I said, I was so impressed that I will use her for all future mediations. I highly recommend her, particularly for those tough cases.

Avoided going to court and settled a nasty real estate mess!

We bought a house and had an issue with the prior owners not disclosing an in-ground pool that was covered up! We filed a lawsuit and hired an attorney, but had to give them a large retainer which still wouldn't cover a court trial. We were at the end of our rope and wanted to resolve the case without spending a fortune to do so. We were told about Judge Linda and mediation. Frankly my wife and I were skeptical that mediation would work and would be a waste of time and more money, but we spent the day in mediation and actually got a resolution that we were happy with for a lot less money than going to court and having a trial! I was so happy we mediated and I'm pleasantly surprised that it worked. It was the best advice and decision we could have made. I totally believe in mediation with Judge Linda and she convinced me she can resolve even complex cases with a lot of heated emotions from both sides!  Thank you for saving us money and getting us peace of mind and closure for our case!

Divorce is not easy but Linda makes the process bearable.

From the first phone call I made to Linda I knew she was the one I wanted to work with. With her extensive work experience she understand the process and is not afraid to tell you the hard truth on what the law says. She does a great job of listening to each side and breaks down what the law will see as fair even if you don't believe it is fair. Life is not fair and it is not Linda making these calculations but rather the legal system. It's a hard lesson to learn that when you marry you have signed a legal agreement and the law decides your fate if you break this agreement. I would highly recommend Linda to anyone going through a divorce that is looking to save money by not hiring a lawyer. If you want to keep it civil then using a 3rd party makes things a lot easier when they do not work for either side like a lawyer does.

With Judge Linda you can accomplish in 7 or 8 hours what two lawyers would stretch out into a year or more charging you per hour. I would highly recommend her to any couple who is divorcing amicably.

I have the utmost respect for Judge Van De Water

Judge Van De Water is an effective and assertive diplomat who uses finesse and decorum to get the job done. She is a good read of people's character and therefore knows what style to use in order to attain solutions that are acceptable to both parties. Without Judge Van De Water's expertise, I am certain my former spouse and I would have continued to go around in circles trying to figure out how to disentangle our lives from each other. I have the utmost respect for Judge Van De Water and highly recommend her services/expertise to anyone who needs mediation. A satisfied client, Karen.

I couldn’t recommend her more!

After being a small claims battle for over a year we finally decided to try mediation with Linda. The other side was being difficult so we decided to hire Linda as our lawyer instead of mediation. I am so glad we did because she was able to settle out of court. They ended up dropping the case without us having to pay anything! Her fees were beyond reasonable and she was great to deal with. Hopefully we never are in this situation again but if needed we have her number on speed dial! I couldn't recommend her more!

Linda makes this the best possible experience

This was so much quicker, simpler, and more cost efficient than I could have expected. Linda makes this the best possible experience one can hope for when going through a divorce.

I cannot thank Judge Linda enough for helping me in a difficult situation of my life. She has taught me to be strong and not give up. I was in a divorce situation where my lawyer does not know what he's doing and does not do anything at all it was a nightmare. I was just about to give up everything and found Judge Linda Van De Water through AVVO. She is a God send; extremely knowledgeable yet very caring and supportive. She did a fantastic job in turning around the situation in getting me an amicable settlement that I was very happy with. The only regret I had was not finding Judge Linda first and I would have avoided all the stress and legal fees. I highly recommend Judge Linda. Do not make the mistake of going to a lawyer for your divorce; avoid exorbitant fees and call Judge Linda at CCMA Solutions LLC and you will not regret it!

I’m so glad we hired Linda instead of 2 attorneys!

Linda is wonderful to work with! She brings a tremendous amount of value to the table with her experience and ensures a fair & reasonable approach from both sides. She is able to remain impartial, understand both sides of negotiations and aid both parties in protection as well, resulting in an amicable resolution. She can infuse levity into difficult circumstances. A huge money saver as well!! I'm so glad we hired Linda instead of 2 attorneys!

I HIGHLY recommend mediation

Linda helped ease the difficulty of a divorce and made me feel comfortable through the process. I went in with no idea of how anything would go and Linda explained everything in a way I could understand!

What Attorneys Say…

Fair and respectful treatment of the parties.

Judge Linda Van De Water mediated a case for our law firm and obtained a successful outcome in one of our highly contested cases. I strongly recommend her for mediating and being involved in difficult cases. She was able to keep the parties focused and compelled them to compromise and sign an agreement, while she assisted the parents in reaching a resolution that was in their children's best interests. She commends respect and is determined to bring the cases to conclusion using her extensive knowledge of family law. Another important aspect is her fair and respectful treatment of the parties.

Just what my case needed!

Judge Van De Water was just what my case needed! Apart from her strong knowledge of the law and problem solving abilities, she recognized the emotional issues driving the clients’ positional decision-making and was able to address them with sensitivity to bring the case to resolution. And, to think my opposing counsel and I thought it couldn’t be done! An added perk was that she insisted we modify our settlement agreement “on the spot” at mediation so as not to let the clients back out. And, she went the extra mile, sitting with the lawyers to help draft the tricky provisions to cement the deal. You can’t do better than that! I highly recommend Judge Van De Water!

She came in bursting with energy and enthusiasm.

Just had Judge Van De Water mediate a difficult matter. She came in bursting with energy and enthusiasm. She took the time to hear out both sides of the case and understand the issues and dynamics involved. This was so helpful and important, as clients often want their "day in court" so they can tell their story and have their position heard. She then gave frank opinions, based upon her experience and the reality of the situation. Through the hours needed to resolve this matter, Judge never lost her enthusiasm (and humor :)). She did an excellent job- walked out with a signed MSA. Highly recommended.

She was extremely balanced, patient, firm, and decisive…

I had the opportunity to work with a wonderful colleague and we agreed to engage Judge Van De Water in a complicated mediation. The tensions were high, communication was poor, and a very young child's future was at stake. She was extremely balanced, patient, firm, and decisive in her approach to this process. Her experience, pleasant demeanor, and insight resulted in a win-win, with wise alternatives not previously considered. I'm thrilled to have her as a resource in the quest of best interests of all parties in the sensitive area of family law. I recommend her without qualification nor reservation, unless you're trying to book her on a day that we need her!

A settlement that was fair to both parties.

Another case settled thanks to Judge Van De Water. Judge was highly effective in breaking down the rather complex issue before us to effectuate a settlement that was fair to both parties. She was also highly effective in navigating around the personalities/feelings of the clients to get to the heart of the issue. Thanks for your hard work Judge. Will definitely utilize your services in the future and highly recommend to any of my colleagues.

I am pleased to report that former Judge Linda M. Van De Water did an excellent job for both parties in mediating a difficult divorce action that I was sure would have to be tried.

I was impressed with your acumen and determination.

Judge Van De Water: Thank you for your successful mediation yesterday. I appreciate that it wasn’t easy. My client had a tough breach defense, made worse by a terribly-tilted lease agreement. You were prepared and took command, involved the parties closely in the process and somehow reached a settlement figure that neither party wanted to approach – but somehow were persuaded that it was in their best interests. Then the collateral part of the deal had to be tackled. It was tougher than reaching the settlement number, and I was impressed with your acumen and determination. Overall, an excellent job on your part. I will definitely come back for your mediation service again!!

Helpful in getting my client to compromise.

Judge Linda did an excellent job at our mediation. She took her time explaining her role and how the mediation would work. She explained what would happen if there was no agreement in mediation. She provided feedback to my client and I that was helpful in getting my client to compromise. I would highly recommend her and am using her again next week.

My Client Felt Heard and Respected…

Judge Van De Water mediated a pre-judgment divorce case that involved complicated property division issues. She did a fantastic job and I am convinced that the outcome was far superior to that which would have been forced upon our clients at trial two weeks later. My client felt heard and respected, which helped him accept and appreciate the final resolution. Mediation is a powerful tool, made more so with a talented, smart professional like Judge Linda.

We selected Judge Van De Water on a very complex property division and maintenance case. She was professional, listened to both sides, and helped us come up with creative solutions to very tricky issues.
