Mediation Services Lawyer in Albany, NY

Serving Clients Throughout Upstate New York

Many couples want to avoid the stress, cost, and uncertainty of courtroom litigation when facing divorce. Mediation offers a smarter, faster, and more affordable path to resolving divorce while maintaining control over the outcome. 

At Andrew H. Wood, Esq., PLLC, we support individuals and families who want a respectful, solutions-driven approach to ending their marriage or resolving other family law issues. 

Attorney Wood has been advising clients involved in family law mediation since 2006. He is frequently retained to provide legal guidance, helping clients navigate complex legal issues while supporting their goal of a cooperative divorce. 

You and your spouse may agree on many points as you mediate your divorce. However, mediators cannot provide legal advice on the issues. Having knowledgeable counsel from a professional who can identify hidden risks, address unresolved issues, and help you understand how different outcomes could impact your future is critical.
