When my divorcing clients work with Arons & Associates, I am confident they are prepared to make informed financial choices. I consistently receive very positive feedback regarding Sandy’s unique collaborative services and I am glad to have Arons & Associates as a divorce mediation resource.

I have collaborated with Sandy Arons in several cases. I have been the coach/facilitator in these cases and Sandy has been the financial neutral expert. And I have referred some of my clients to her to help them discover financial solvency. Clients have universally enjoyed working with Sandy. She provided them a clear picture of their financial circumstances and offered options for how to move forward.

Sandy’s expertise in finance and mediation, along with her compassionate straightforwardness, combine to prove her an invaluable resource to couples who need information and direction during divorce.

Sandy has been of tremendous help to a number of my clients who are considering—or are in the process of—divorce. She is able to clarify so many of the complex financial details that are involved and she gives them confidence they understand what settlement options are fair. My clients are so relieved to know there is someone with the financial expertise to assist them during a very difficult time in their lives. She consistently helps them avoid potentially disastrous financial mistakes.

As a therapist who works with many divorcing and divorced people and as a mediator and collaborative coach who helps people through a divorce process, I know all too well how scary and confusing it is for both men and women to navigate through this most difficult time in their lives. Sandy has been immensely helpful to clients I have referred her in facilitating their understanding of their finances and then in guiding them as they explore their financial options.

I cannot recommend her services enough.

I've worked with Sandy Arons for over 8 years. She's very precise with her divorce mediation clients and has extreme attention to detail when it comes to anyone seeking divorce financial advice or actually divorcing. I've found that many people that I've helped who go thru divorce do not receive good financial advice. Especially with regards to their assets, their pending real estate decisions, advice on their credit and co-signed debts when working with conventional divorce attorneys and mediators. Sandy, however, is well versed in all things financial and advises clients in all of the necessary areas of their finances in order to have them fully ready for their next phase in life once their divorce is complete.

As a family law attorney, I've found Sandy Arons' services to be an invaluable asset to my clients and my practice. Sandy is a consummate professional and has been a critical element in both helping my clients navigate the financial realities of divorce and reaching mutually agreeable outcomes. I cannot speak highly enough of her.

Sandy is a master at what she does. Everyone is refer to her sings her praises.

Knowledgeable and professional!

I have full confidence in Arons & Associates helping my clients navigating divorce.

Sandy has in a short time become on of my most valusble resources. Like most therapists, at any given time I have clients on the brink of divorce. And the financial challenges are often too much to handle alone. That's where Sandy comes in. As I write this, she is calming the emotionally-charged financial storms of three of my clients. They praise her for what she does. Blending her financial acumen with a keen interpersonal sense, she always manages to fully engage each party w/o "taking sides," soothe fears, dissipate bad blood, and help the soon to be divorced couple move forward with their dissolution in the most fair and equitable manner possible. And all without attorneys! Seeing Sandy work her magic with the most contentious parents is the greatest gift, since it's the children who suffer most from the acrimony. If that's not enough, her life cycle financial fitness sub-speciality for newly pairing couples and individuals who need a fresh look at their financial house is just as top notch.

I am an attorney/mediator. Sandy provides the financial side of the divorce to my clients, which is often the most important part of the divorce. She is thorough, efficient, and objective to both Husband and Wife . Although divorce is often difficult, she presents them with financial facts that makes it easier for them to make sound decisions. I heartily endorse the use of her services in big and small divorces . It's worth every penny.

I am a family law attorney and have worked with Sandy on quite a number of cases and always found her to be extremely professional, thorough, and helpful in her mediation practice. She is able to get clients to focus on the financial aspects in the divorce process as well as focusing on the best interests of their minor children. She doesn't take one party's side or the other, and is able to look at both sides objectively and help the parties reach an agreement and move on with their lives. I highly recommend her and would give her ten stars if I could.

We could not have done it without Sandy! Navigating through the divorce process is confusing and stressful. We didn’t even know where to start. If you are divorcing, you’ll benefit from her knowledge about financial topics and her excellent client centered approach. She served as the financial neutral in our divorce and was the glue that held the case together. Her ability to remain objective throughout our divorce process while explaining the financial issues allowed us to get a settlement that met the unique needs of our family. An objective understanding of each other’s financial needs helped to make the process less adversarial. We have recommended Sandy to friends and colleagues in the midst of divorce. If you are divorcing, you’ll benefit from her thorough understanding of financial issues and excellent mediation skills and collaborative approach. She will provide insights that will help you and the attorneys think more clearly, minimize arguing and unnecessary professional fees.

Sandy, as a financial neutral played the most essential role in my collaborative divorce process. During such an emotional time, it is crucial to both party’s long-term financial security to have a professional involved whose job is to look at and analyze the numbers. Sandy was completely unbiased, and used her vast knowledge and experience as a financial professional to guide us to a property settlement that both myself and my ex-husband felt was extremely fair. Having Sandy involved in the process as a financial neutral helped to remove the emotion form working out the financial settlement, and made it what it should be: a practical and fair approach to financially separating two lives. Her financial insights educated my husband and myself and empowered us to make confident choices during settlement negotiations.

My budget was so wrong! I had no idea that I would be paying taxes on my alimony. Arons & Associates provided invaluable help to me during my Collaborative Law divorce. Because I knew what I needed, I was able to clearly articulate my financial needs and objectives. I have recommended Sandy to friends and feel that her financial mediation services made a significant difference in my divorce settlement.

As the Financial Professional on my Collaborative Law team, Sandy helped us understand our financial reality. This gave me a tremendous peace of mind for the future. The fee I paid to Arons & Associates was money well-spent. The financial insights she provided helped us avoid costly tax mistakes and the savings more than paid for her services. Thank you Sandy for all your hard work!

Thank you for all your expertise and support during our collaborative divorce. I really feel like I have a better understanding of my financial situation and made the best choices available during the divorce negotiations.

Sandy helped me understand what amount of money I needed to receive from my divorce settlement so I could afford to get my nursing degree and pay for my living expenses while in school. Her guidance allowed me to feel confident that I knew what I needed to ask for in my settlement. She is very easy to talk to and felt that she was genuinely concerned about the welfare of me and my children.

Sandy helped my wife, myself and our attorneys work through the financial issues of our collaborative divorce. While I knew that Sandy could help my wife, I really didn’t think that I needed her services. I was wrong. Sandy’s insights saved me money and paid for the cost of her services many times over. She is very professional and accommodating.

Sandy is highly efficient, professional and knowledgeable. She is able to establish comfortable rapport with both spouses and has considerable skill as a financial mediator. Sandy has the knowledge and experience needed to quickly ascertain your personal financial potential futures based on proposed settlements. I wish I had known about her services prior to hiring an attorney. We could have saved tens of thousands of dollars by working out the finances with Sandy rather than having the attorneys argue. If you are considering divorce, I highly recommend you talk with Sandy before the attorneys are involved. Hindsight is 20/20.

From the very first moment I spoke to Sandy she put me at ease in what was a truly awful circumstance to be in. She has an extensive knowledge and experience, but was never short, dismissive, condescending or rushed with me. She also was never so verbose and friendly as to needless generate billings as some Attorney's will. Sandy is remarkably efficient and acted as a consummate professional throughout my divorce, from even before I retained her, until after our business concluded. I'm so grateful to her.

As my case proceeded, much of what Sandy discussed in our very first conversation played itself out flawlessly, almost as if she had been reading from a script, but there was no script. Sandy simply brings a tremendous amount of experience, knowledge, thoughtfulness, and understanding to BOTH parties going through for many, a truly awful, volatile, toxic, and potentially destructive and damaging experience. Sandy understands this, and I believe she possesses a deep desire to mitigate it wherever she can.

She was the only person who made me feel like I was not alone in this process. Not even my attorneys made me feel that way. She's very matter of fact, very thorough, prompt, detail oriented, and fair. I risked, and with nowhere left to turn, decided to bet on her for guidance, to trust her advice implicitly simply because I was worn out, and I'm so thankful that I did.

At first I thought Sandy's services might be a costly overlap with my mounting legal bills, but there was none of that. Not at all. Sandy does not replace an attorney, but she does greatly enhance their process. Together we were all greater than the sum of our parts. She equipped me with an understanding, knowledge, and confidence to make smarter financial choices with my attorney, and probably made me a better client to my Attorney. Sandy shared with me from her vast experiences, considerations that never would have occurred to me on my own and I'm so glad she did.

I made in "peace of mind" many times over what she ever earned. For any couple, or individual, facing divorce, I would encourage you to speak with her first, immediately before doing anything else. You will earn/save many many times what you pay, and when it comes to divorce, if kids are involved you are bound to each other, one way or another forever. I believe a great deal of needless, senseless, and long lasting damage can be avoided by making a decision to hire Sandy at the outset. Good luck.

Although we both had fine attorneys during our collaborative divorce, it was Sandy’s ability to function as a financial neutral and organize / explain the financial issues that really made the difference in our case and settlement. Divorce is very emotional and it is easy to get swept away in the current. Sandy kept us on track by focusing on the numbers. As she educated us about the finances, our anxiety levels decreased and we were able to think more clearly. Sandy provided invaluable financial insights, advice, tax information and support to both of us (and the attorneys) as we navigated the dissolution of our 35-year marriage. She helped us through these difficult waters in a manner that was always professional, positive, helpful and encouraging. Without hesitation, we recommend Sandy if your marriage is ending and your goal is to minimize the cost and drama while having confidence you are making smart financial choices.

Sandy saved us tens of thousands of dollars on legal fees because she was able to do the majority of the divorce discovery work for us rather than us using our attorneys. Her ability to educate both of us about the financial issues of our estate helped to minimize unnecessary bickering. Sandy’s financial mediation skills allowed us to work out most of the settlement ourselves in a civil process that provided financial insights our well respected attorneys did not address. Sandy also worked well with our attorneys and financial advisor to very efficiently finalize the settlement. We highly recommend Sandy to help you get a financially smart divorce in a process that has minimal turmoil, is client friendly and is an excellent value.

Sandy’s ability to work with both of us, serving as a financial neutral was a critical component in our ability to reach an acceptable settlement while controlling professional fees. She earned our trust through the case and we both relied on her for financial guidance and candid feedback. Sandy worked well with our attorneys. They consistently relied on her to address the financial and tax issues of our case while they addressed the legal aspects. If you are considering divorce, you should understand divorce is 45% emotions, 45% finances and 10% legal issues. Getting your finances in order before you retain an attorney will minimize the emotional and financial costs of your divorce. We highly recommend Sandy to help you and your family through the divorce process.

During my marriage I was in dark about our finances. When my husband asked for a divorce I was really scared and concerned about my future. I wish I had hired Sandy before I retained my attorney. Although I had a great attorney, I ended up paying $11,000 just to gather the financial information for mediation. And, I still did not understand the numbers. After meeting with Sandy a few times the week before mediation, I was able to comprehend the financial information I had struggled with for months. Her fees are reasonable and a wise investment. If you are considering divorce, your first step should be to meet with Sandy. She’ll explain the financial topics so you’ll have confidence you know what to ask for and save you a bundle on legal fees.

While we don’t agree on everything, we do agree that Sandy’s assistance during our divorce process was invaluable. Despite the fact that we both had an attorney, we did not feel comfortable moving forward with the proposed divorce settlement until Sandy had reviewed it and given us feedback. She consistently brought issues to our attention that we had not considered and saved us from making some potentially dreadful financial mistakes. Her ability to speak candidly regarding divorce financial issues helped us both realize when were being stubborn and needed to compromise. If divorce is in your future, see Sandy before you begin the legal process. You’ll get more value from your legal fees and minimize unnecessary emotional stress for you and your kids.

Thank you for everything! I value your opinion and really appreciate having you on my team! Diamonds are still a girl’s best friend…But, your expert financial advice is a close second!

When I was going through my divorce, I was overwhelmed with the amount of stuff I had to think about. Stuff I had always just done. Now I had to consider how it would affect me, my kids and the rest of my life. Sandy helped me to think about items I never would have thought to consider; who would pay for the kids’ cell phones, gas in college, college search trips, music lessons and sports fees? There are many expenses to consider and having Sandy guide my thought process was really helpful. During divorce, it is hard enough to think about getting through your days, much less thinking about what you are going to do in five years. Sandy helped me think clearly so I could articulate what I needed to request in the financial settlement and why. As a result of her financial guidance and collaborative mediation skills, we were able to create a settlement that was acceptable to both parties and avoided the excessive legal fees and the drama of going to court.

I’ll admit that I was skeptical when my wife mentioned hiring Sandy. I was feeling that nobody could be impartial or serve as a financial neutral. I was wrong. Sandy was this and more. Her common sense approach to the financial issues allowed us both to see where we were being unreasonable and her input brought about compromises that made sense. With her help, we were able to craft a settlement that worked for our family. We brought Sandy into our case after our attorneys were not able to settle the case. It was Sandy’s financial insights and skills as a mediator that helped us come to a fair agreement. In retrospect, I wish that we had hired her at the beginning of our divorce process. We would have saved ourselves time, money and emotional turmoil. Thank you, Sandy for a job well done.

Sandy was the financial mediator for our divorce. As my now ex-husband and I worked with her, we both came to trust her judgment and objectivity. She was very thorough and worked diligently even weekends and evenings when necessary to help us resolve our differences and move forward. While we each had our own attorney for legal advice, we relied on Sandy’s mediation and financial knowledge to help us and our attorneys address the numbers. It is such an emotional time, and Sandy could diffuse any situation that arose. As we discussed dividing assets and alimony, Sandy helped me have a clear understanding of what the numbers really meant. She invested significant effort to ensure a fair resolution. This helped negotiations move ahead and gave me confidence that I was making good financial choices. I highly recommend Sandy’s unique mediation process and collaborative approach. It is a common sense approach to demystifying a confusing time.

Sandy was the financial mediator during my divorce and helped my wife and I make logical financial decisions. We had a long term marriage,so there was a lot of issues to work through. I feel good about the final settlement Sandy helped us make and believe it was very fair to both sides.

After the attorneys received the outline of the divorce proposal my wife and I drafted with Sandy, she was there to answer questions, and work with each attorney to make sure things went as smoothly as possible.

Sandy more than paid for her fees in the unnecessary legal fees she saved us and the financial errors we did not make as a result of her guidance. My wife and I definitely got a financially smart divorce. I highly recommend Sandy and Arons & Associates if you are considering divorce.

Thank you, Sandy for your continued efforts to help us through the rough spots during our divorce mediation. Your thorough analysis and objectivity allowed me to realize when I was not being reasonable. Divorce is an emotional time and you helped us both see through the fog.

Ms. Arons has a deep, concise, caring & practical knowledge of both divorce & finance thus is able to sort out all the ramifications for her client. She really understands the money and knows what’s realistic & what’s not in the long run. She is also very capable of working with both parties very amiably. When working with Sandy, you can expect to spend less time & money in negotiations, wind up with a better settlement plus end your marriage with less bitter feelings. Not to be sneered at in the long run; especially if there are children involved. I totally recommend Ms. Arons as an adjunct to your lawyer if you are considering divorce. Sandy’s top qualities are: Great Results, Expert & High Integrity.

Sandy worked with my ex-wife and me as a financial mediator during our divorce. Sandy’s well-honed mediation skills moved us through the divorce process while addressing not only the critical financial issues but also smoothing emotional barriers to reaching agreement. This allowed us to save a considerable amount of time, effort and money on unnecessary attorney fees. I have recommended Arons & Associates Divorce Planning services to friends and believe that their fees were very reasonable and a wise investment.

The budgeting exercises that we did with you, as well as the assembly of all the financial information, was invaluable to us in negotiating a settlement that works for our family.

When it’s all said and done, the most you can hope for from a divorce is that any settlement is fair and makes sense for everyone. Working with Arons & Associates resulted not only in a fair and equitable settlement but, did so in a way that was much less expensive, minimized emotional turmoil and was more thoughtful than the traditional legal approach of having two attorneys argue back and forth. I would recommend Sandy to anyone unfortunate enough to find themselves in the process of divorce.

Sandy helped my wife and I clearly understand the money issues of our divorce. I found her process to be very cost effective and sensitive to the emotional issues of divorce. Her financial planning, analysis and mediation abilities are the reason we were able to understand complex financial issues and achieve an amiable divorce with a settlement that was fair for both of us. Her thorough work and communication with our attorneys also helped us minimize the legal expenses. I highly recommend her unique combination of abilities and approach to mediation to get a settlement that is fair to both spouses.

The services provided by Sandy Arons and Arons & Associates was invaluable to my ex-husband and me during our divorce process. She provided both of us with the necessary financial stepping stones so we could come to a fair settlement that we could find agreeable. Sandy is intelligent, easy to communicate with, and always professional. I have recommended her to friends and would not hesitate to do so again in the future.

Thank you so much, Sandy. The advice and peace of mind you have given me through this process has been invaluable to me. You have guided me through one of the most difficult things I've ever done and made me feel confident in my financial decisions. Thank you for being so attentive by calling and emailing to check in and keeping me on track each step of the way. I'm so glad that I made the smart decision to hire you to help me and my husband. I have and will continue to recommend you to anyone I know who is considering divorce.

The financial counseling and education Sandy provided me during my divorce made a significant positive difference in my settlement and is still spilling over into my life post-divorce. Yes, I had a very good attorney but, thanks to Sandy's help, I will be financially secure the rest of my life. Sandy did a great job and helped me so much during a very stressful time that I am happy to write this positive review.

Sandy worked with my wife and myself during our divorce process. We have four children and it was critical the divorce did not destroy our ability to co-parent. We were also concerned about the divorce depleting our resources and children’s education accounts.

Sandy’s ability to explain the financial issues and educate us about the bottom line helped us keep our emotions under control. When we were being unreasonable regarding financial requests, Sandy would tactfully bring this to our attention and help us find a solution that was less self-focused and more acceptable / fair to our spouse. It was obvious that Sandy always had our best interests at heart. Her process was not only affordable and efficient, it also saved us from court drama, a year or more of stressful negotiations and $100,000 in legal fees. More importantly, Sandy’s process will allow us to co-parent our four children. There are some things that are hard to quantify… How do you put a dollar value on sanity from chaos?

We worked with Sandy for 6 months. I have friends who did not work with Sandy and took the traditional route of working with two attorneys. Their divorce process lasted 3 times as long as ours and cost 10 times as much. Worst of all, at the end of their divorces, they disliked each other so intensely they cannot even be in the same room. I can’t image how stressful their upcoming daughter’s weddings will be.

Sandy’s provided critical financial and tax information the attorneys did not address. Her services gave both of us confidence we were making smart choices during negotiations. If you are considering divorce, I highly recommend you contact Sandy BEFORE you retain an attorney.

Sandy Arons helped my wife and I get through bankruptcy and divorce. She was very professional and her work product solid. If you are considering divorce, retaining Sandy’s services before the attorneys are involved is a wise investment.

Going through a divorce is difficult enough without getting mired in antagonistic legal proceedings. Sandy understands that the people, spouses and children, involved in a divorce are the focus of the process. The legal aspects should serve the needs of the people involved rather than the other way around. Sandy is all about taking care of the people. I have appreciated her calm and supportive approach during a scary and uncertain time.

I’m divorced and so, I speak from experience as I write this review and encourage you to talk with Arons & Associates before your talk with a divorce attorney. If you haven’t already figured it out, the law is pretty straight forward. Assets and debts are divided 50/50, child support is a formula created by the state and alimony is math… How much does one spouse need and how much can the other afford to pay. That’s a math problem not a sophisticated legal issue.

I spent lots of time and cash with attorneys during my divorce because I did not know what else to do. Then, I met Sandy and she helped me understand just how straight forward the divorce settlement and child custody issues were. She helped to keep me calm by explaining the these topics with straight forward language in a kind and compassionate way that was always supportive. If you or someone you know is thinking about divorce, you and they would be wise to contact Sandy Arons as your first step. Hindsight is always 20/20.

You must talk with Sandy before hiring a divorce attorney. She is very thorough with the information provided. I give Arons & Associates a 5 star rating (out of 5 stars) !

AMAZING! Sandy is definitely needed when going through such an emotional time in your life. Whether thinking of divorce or headed to mediation; call her. You'll be glad you did. She'll empower you and equip you with the right tools to feel confident about your financial future. Thank you Sandy!

I've been divorced a year and a half and am still very appreciative of Sandy's services. The funds I spent with her were not only a wise investment but, the best use of $1,500 I have ever spent! I've had several friends that have gone through a divorce since mine and I feel fortunate I can tell them about Sandy and how she helped me get through the process.

Sandy has in a short time become one of my most valuable resources. Like most therapists, at any given time I have clients on the brink of divorce. And the financial challenges are often too much to handle alone. That's where Sandy comes in. As I write this, she is calming the emotionally-charged financial storms of three of my clients. They praise her for what she does. Blending her financial acumen with a keen interpersonal sense, she always manages to fully engage each party w/o "taking sides," soothe fears, dissipate bad blood, and help the soon to be divorced couple move forward with their dissolution in the most fair and equitable manner possible. And all without attorneys! Seeing Sandy work her magic with the most contentious parents is the greatest gift, since it's the children who suffer most from the acrimony. If that's not enough, her life cycle financial fitness sub-speciality for newly pairing couples and individuals who need a fresh look at their financial house is just as top notch.

Sandy, thank you so much for helping our family through the divorce process. The information your provided was so useful, and helped me make more informed and better decisions. I will definitely refer divorcing folks to you and suggest they met with you before an attorney!

Sandy worked with my husband and I throughout our divorce proceedings, and I would highly recommend her to anyone going facing similar circumstances. I found her to be knowledgeable and professional, and her mediation saved us a lot of money. Divorce is a very difficult time for everyone involved, and Sandy is willing to ride the storm with you. She listens, she mediates, she makes adjustments, and she'll get you to the other side. I highly recommend her! Thank you Sandy

Many of my clients over the past several years have used the services of Arons and Associates Divorce Planning and they consistently give them glowing reviews. Clients tell me Sandy really understands the financial and tax aspects of divorce and explains the information in a manner that is always very helpful, practical and professional. She obviously really cares about her clients, their families and their well-being. Most importantly, Sandy helps clients make smart financial choices and avoid the typical divorce fear, drama and excessive legal fees. I am so glad to have Sandy and Arons & Associates as a valuable resource for my clients.

I cant say enough great things about Sandy Arons ! Please, please, please contact her before you call an attorney. Attorneys are incentivized to drag things out and get billable hours. That is not on Sandy's agenda. She will help you every way possible to mediate every aspect of a divorce quickly and professionally. She is extremely knowledgeable on all aspects of divorce law, finances, investments and any other question or concern you may have regarding divorce. Due to a difficult situation around the time my wife and I separated, we were unable to communicate between each other for approximately 6 weeks. During this time Sandy was like an attorney to me, taking care of much needed communication between my wife and I which would not have been legally possible any other way. Sandy was available literally almost 24 hrs a day. On several occasions during difficult times Sandy was in communication with me via text or phone call late at night and early in the morning. I don't know anyone who would give out their contact information while they were relaxing on vacation in another country but that is exactly what Sandy Arons did for me. I cant even imagine going through what we went through without her. No matter how difficult your situation may be, Sandy will put you both at ease and will help you through every single step of the process.

I can’t imagine how much harder my divorce would have been without Sandy’s guidance. Before I started working with Sandy, I was overwhelmed with uncertainty about how to address the financial aspect of the divorce. Sandy helped me & my then husband see our current financial state in numbers on paper & formulate a plan together to divide our marital assets & debts. This took away the financial uncertainty that had been so overwhelming to me and also allowed both of us to separate the emotional aspect of our divorce from the financial aspect. I recommend anyone even considering divorce to make an appointment with Sandy before you see an attorney. With her help, you will save money, time, unnecessary stress and frustration!

Sandy met with my husband and me to help us understand and resolve some issues prior to mediation. She provided lots of great advice. She helped reduce our cost of mediation for sure. My lawyer was just in it to stick me with massive fees. Sandy was much more helpful than the attorney, and Sandy will tell you she’s not providing legal advice. She’s providing practical advice. Since divorce is 45% emotions, 45% finances and 10% law, it makes sense to let Sandy address the financial issues and the attorney can address the legal issues.

Thank you very much Sandy. We truly appreciate the collaborative process that you helped us establish. We both agree it was nice to have different avenues and possibilities pointed out to us, while preserving our freedom of choice and self-determination. We also appreciate that you understood our goal to protect each other’s interests and to incorporate a high level of trust. Not the most pleasant of circumstances, but certainly a much, much “softer landing” than most.

Sandy Arons did a tremendous job for my husband and myself during our divorce. She has honestly been the smartest, most focused and fairest professional we have worked with during our divorce process. I have felt that she truly cared about saving us money and heartache and time.

Sandy is also a very intuitive person that has been very very helpful to me as a woman. I would certainly recommend Sandy to anyone going through this tough journey. It is essential that she be brought into the case early, before you hire an attorney so you receive the most benefit from her unique services and control attorney fees.

Thank you for everything! You were a great help and a pleasure to work with.

Getting divorced is the most difficult experience I've ever had. Emotions are high and tempers are short. My ex wife was referred to Sandy Arons by a friend of hers. One of the first things I noticed about working with Sandy , was her calming effect on the process. My ex and I actually started to working together to get through or divorce with the least amount of damage, both emotionally and financially. If you have children, you can understand why this is important. They often become the collateral damage at the ending of a marriage. Open communication about what are reasonable outcomes are critical to the process. Sandy did a great job on explaining what to expect and how to adjust to our new reality. Today my ex wife and I are still friends and we behave like adults in the present of our daughter. One of our major goals was to show her how to act when life doesn't turn out the way you thought it would . IF - we had experienced the typical ..never ending, Expensive legal battle with exhaustive communication through third parties, I doubt that we would be speaking to each other. A wise friend told me, when you have kids, your never really divorced. He asked me If I wanted to move on with my life or be in an ongoing war forever. How your divorce is completed lays the ground work for your future relationship with your ex partner. The process is difficult and both sides have to make sacrifices . If your looking for a highly knowledgeable, very experienced , stabilizing force to guide you through what may be the most difficult experience you've ever had, Call Sandy Arons. I'm so thankful we did.

I highly recommend Sandy Arons. Divorce is one of the most painful things a person can experience. But, Sandy made it as easy as it could be by giving us solid direction and keeping us organized...and at a fraction of the cost of an attorney.

I wish I had met and hired Sandy a year ago! " My divorce was final this past June and I was not aware of some of the financial and tax repercussions. I felt that SHE was what was missing during the process... its such an emotional time and there are only so many new things you can learn during it. I highly recommend Aron and Associates to protect your finances and help you navigate your new life...

Few want to find themselves in these circumstances, however, if they do, Sandy Arons is a valuable resource. She helped us efficiently navigate our divorce. She provided great educational materials and was diligent and thorough in every step. She was especially skilled at negotiating sensitive interpersonal dynamics in order to facilitate the process during the few times these dynamics threatened to halt the process. Her persistence allowed us to stay on track despite the challenges of an ambitious deadline. She was always willing to go the extra mile, and I felt like she was there for us in a genuine way each step of the way.

My ex and I were amicably divorcing after working on things in couple's therapy for several years. Sandy understood where we were from the beginning and helped us figure out what life would look like financially for both households after the divorce and how to best structure custody of our two teenagers. She is familiar with the processes, the court system, and property division and helped us navigate all of that. She also referred us to other excellent professionals to help with specific aspects of the process. Working with her dramatically reduced both the cost and the drama of the divorce. We had previously attempted to do a collaborative divorce with other mediators and felt like they were over-complicating the process, dragging it out, driving up the expense and creating conflict where there was none. With Sandy, it felt like she was someone who understood what we were going through and was there to help us get through a painful process as easily as possible.

I am so grateful for the referral to Sandy services. I was worried that my husband would push back, but in fact we both found her extremely knowledgeable, a thoughtful communicator, and very straight forward with her experience of how the various scenarios may work out for both parties. We are both extremely satisfied with her council.

Getting divorced is the most difficult experience I've ever had. Emotions are high and tempers are short. My ex wife was referred to Sandy Arons by a friend of hers. One of the first things I noticed about working with Sandy , was her calming effect on the process. My ex and I actually started to working together to get through or divorce with the least amount of damage, both emotionally and financially. If you have children, you can understand why this is important. They often become the collateral damage at the ending of a marriage. Open communication about what are reasonable outcomes are critical to the process. Sandy did a great job on explaining what to expect and how to adjust to our new reality. Today my ex wife and I are still friends and we behave like adults in the present of our daughter. One of our major goals was to show her how to act when life doesn't turn out the way you thought it would . IF - we had experienced the typical ..never ending, Expensive legal battle with exhaustive communication through third parties, I doubt that we would be speaking to each other. A wise friend told me, when you have kids, your never really divorced. He asked me If I wanted to move on with my life or be in an ongoing war forever. How your divorce is completed lays the ground work for your future relationship with your ex partner. The process is difficult and both sides have to make sacrifices . If your looking for a highly knowledgeable, very experienced , stabilizing force to guide you through what may be the most difficult experience you've ever had, Call Sandy Arons. I'm so thankful we did.

Sandy Arons is a true professional. I would highly recommend Sandy’s work as a Certified Financial Analyst & Specialist. Sandy is a knowledgeable Accredited Financial Counselor & Mediator that focuses on accurate financial information and presents it in a structured manner that is easily understood. I could always trust Sandy’s communication skills to make me feel comfortable & informed. Therefore, I was able to make decisions based on precise facts. Our meetings were always on time and I could depend on Sandy to come fully prepared. She is a hard-worker. She will follow-through until she has accomplished her goal to completeness.

Again, I would endorse Sandy Arons in all ways and because she is competent & caring.

Working with Sandy during this very difficult time ended up saving me time and money. One way she saved us money was to suggest we postpone the final divorce decree till the beginning of the next year. Because of that we were able to save over 22k in taxes.
Her in depth knowledge of the process and ability to communicate in a professional and timely manner with both parties helped us arrive to a equitable resolution. I highly recommend her!

Working with Sandy on divorce financial planning before seeing attorneys was a smart decision. We were glad that she provides this service. By first taking a look at an equitable division finances/assets, we saved time and money by not negotiating back and forth on the clock with a lawyer. Sandy was prompt and courteous throughout the process.

I was extremely impressed with the fairness and professionalism shown to us. Nothing about a divorce is easy but at Arons & Associates, they will assist you in finding the easiest route to finalize your divorce with as few roadblocks as possible. I cannot say enough about the attention to detail and compassion shown to our situation. Thank you Sandy for your guidance through such a difficult time.

Sandy was great to work with and worked hard to mediate my divorce. She went above and beyond to find a solution that was beneficial for us and our children. I would recommend anyone seeking mediation to seek out her services before using costly lawyers. Avoid the messiness of legal offices and give her a call for a consult!

Sandy has been a pleasure to work with. She is able to talk with couples during one of the hardest times of their life and helps them find a settlement that is an equitable solution. She helps people save money, time and reduces stress. Sandy takes great care in her work to be precise with numbers while also addressing the delicate emotions of all family members.

Divorcing is a painful process however Sandy was the best decision we made. Rather then obtaining 2 attorneys, we enlisted Sandy to help us work through our finances then 1 attorney to file on our behalf. Smooth process. If you are considering divorce, I encourage you to contact Sandy before you reach out to an attorney.

Sandy was helpful, kind, and wise in a contentious divorce that was served on me by surprise. Sandy focused first and foremost on custody, which was my main goal. My child will continue to grow up with me, in the home she has known all her life. Thank you, Sandy, for your wisdom and your guidance

Thank you for your help in helping my ex-wife and me work out the new parenting schedule.

Thanks again you are the best and a true professional.

I truly appreciate your compassionate and insightful services that allowed my wife and I to get a civilized and reasonably priced divorce. The attorneys I interviewed seemed to be more interested in fighting for me and generating big fees for them rather than helping my family figure out a fair settlement. I appreciated your straight talk and financial education. Your calming effect was much needed as my wife and I were anxious about the divorce and our futures. Thank you for always being patient and really caring about the end result and our family. I will certainly recommend you to anyone I know who is unfortunately considering divorce.

Thank you, Sandy for helping our family through a really difficult time. So glad we hired you before we got attorneys. By working with you to sort out the numbers, we avoided thousands in unnecessary legal fees and legal drama. Your insights also saved us $7,000 in taxes!! Your services also gave both me and my wife confidence in our financial decisions as we negotiated our settlement. I highly recommend your services to anyone who is divorcing.

Overall my experience with Sandy was very positive. Throughout the mediation process she was always professional, knowledgeable, and truly appeared to have the best interest of both people in mind in her decisions. It's not easy to get a divorcing couple through the process, and she handles it like a champ. Highly recommended.

Working with Arons and Associates gave me the confidence and assurance that I needed to understand the process of divorce. As an educator and not the one making the primary income in my marriage, It was a real relief to have someone I could trust. Sandy is a Certified Divorce Financial Analyst with incredible communication skills. She explained financial issues so I understood my financial reality. Sandy helped to budget my expenses, calculate my alimony, and save me money in the process. Arons and Associates gave me confidence to go forward when I felt very confused and uneasy. I strongly recommend their services.

I could not be more pleased with the results I received from Sandy. We had been going through a divorce for 2.5 years with tens of thousands paid in fees to attorneys that had no intention of reaching a settlement for our benefit. Our case was complicated with the fact that I own two businesses and the attorneys just didn't understand the financials. Sandy brings a wealth of knowledge not only about the specifics of divorce proceeding, but also has a very deep understanding of finances. She was able to communicated to my wife and I very clearly and unbiased in order to put us both at ease. From the time we met Sandy to the signing of our divorce took approximately 5 months. I wish we had met her much sooner and we not only would have saved a bunch of dollars, but a lot of heartache too. I highly recommend her services!

Sandy Arons is truly a gem. She’s one of the most patient, kind, and understanding people I have met. Mediation is definitely her calling. She was successful in helping my family through a rough time in our lives and her expertise in divorce proceedings made this difficult time so easy for me. Even though the final proceedings were finalized with our lawyers, at no fault of Sandy’s, I was able to complete the divorce with ease. My lawyer with 30+ years of experience was quite impressed with all of the hard work placed by Sandy. She made his job so much easier. The financial burden was lifted as a result of going through mediation with Sandy. I’m sure it would have cost me thousands more had my lawyer had the case from start to finish. She is knowledgeable and she works diligently on both party’s behalf in order to place your family’s best interest at heart. Divorce is difficult and she understands. I found a friend in Sandy. I’m happy that I hired her. Absolutely no regrets.

When I was getting ready to file for my divorce, I either had to hire an attorney or a mediator. I decided to interview several mediators. After the interviews, I decided to go with Sandy Arons and I am so glad I did. Sandy was very professional and took my and my wife's time to settle the differences we had. My wife had hired an attorney and regreted that decision, as she had paid a retainer, before meeting Sandy. My wife felt Sandy was upfront on all issues and felt comfortable with Sandy. Bottom line is Sandy did a great job and saved me thousands of dollars, as to what an attorney would have charged. Sandy understands the difficult process of a divorce and has the experience to achieve the result.

Best decision I made during my divorce was to hire Arons & Associates.

I don't know what I would have done without the tenacity and guidance of Sandy Arons during a very difficult time in my life. Her hard-working professionalism served as a tremendous support system. Sandy was crucial in helping me enter into, and get through, the unknown challenges I had to confront. I found her to be highly educated and very knowledgeable. At a time when one is unaware and lacks legal knowledge, you need Sandy's expertise to navigate the perfect course of action. Because of her commitment to working with me, I was able to have the confidence I needed, and the complete assurance that she was dedicated to a successful outcome.

I have nothing but praises to say about Sandy!

If you are in the process of divorce, or very close to beginning the process of divorce, I highly recommend talking with Sandy Arons before you speak with an attorney. She empathetically and intelligently explained the financial and tax impacts of divorce while saving us tens of thousands of dollars in attorney fees. At the same time, she reduced stress and financial fears for me and my family which resulted in us making better choices.

Sandy was thoughtful and fair while being mindful of preserving the assets we had accumulated. She helped us work through the very emotional issues of asset division, child custody, child support and alimony. I appreciated her candid straight talk during a confusing and fearful time.

My wife and I initially worked with attorneys and experienced the contentiousness of the lawyer route. We spent $22,000 in three months and the lawyers NEVER even spoke to each other on the phone to try and find common ground to settle our case. It was obvious the attorneys had a vested interest in increasing their fees at the expense of our family. I suggest you call Arons & Associates to avoid all the typical drama, stress and excessive legal fees of divorce. Hind sight is 20/20.

I would highly recommend contacting Arons & Associates before hiring an attorney. Sandy was able to guide us through the complexity of a settlement in a fair, calm, professional manner at a deliberate pace. She referred an attorney and a counselor who were both great to work with. She managed emotional topics with grace. I believe that she helped us avoid a contentious and expensive conflict, and that our children and our future selves are much better for her guidance.

Sandy was amazing. She helped me and my ex navigate some murky and touchy waters amazingly well, keeping us both calm, collected and "in check" as often needed. She not only helped us to work through the financial aspects of our divorce, but also helped to manage other parties involved in the process as well (eg, lawyers) to keep EVERYONE on track and on budget. Highly recommend.

Sandy is a pro at educating and assisting her clients through the process of divorce. She acts as a mediator, while substantially reducing the cost of divorce. I believe she helped us arrive at a fair settlement while helping keep both parties calm and open-minded. Highly recommended.

Sandy has been absolutely fantastic to work with. It was important for us to achieve an amicable separation, and we did. From all that I've learned over the course, I don't think this would have been possible without Sandy's professional help. She walked us through the process, supplied relevant and easy-to-understand checklists, and was always available for any questions. She understands both the legal and financial aspect and is very thorough to make sure no account or document is forgotten. I can highly recommend Arons & Associates Divorce Mediation for anyone who wants to avoid both the high cost and inevitable antagonism when using opposing lawyers during a divorce.

We used Sandy’s services for our divorce. Sandy’s approach will only work if the divorce is amicable, but then it’s the best and by far most economical way. She explained the process and fees to us and the outcome was exactly as she had explained. No surprises and no run-away fees. I had also received retainer proposals from two law firms and even in the best-case attorney cost would have been 10x of what we paid Sandy and the law firm she retains for her clients. Sandy has a no-nonsense business approach and made this process as painless as can reasonably be expected under these circumstances

Sandy was a pleasure to work with throughout the whole process. She helped us get a divorce in a process that was efficient and cost effective. I have told many of my friends about her unique services and how pleased I was with the process and end result. Some of my friends are divorcing and told me they wish they had worked with Sandy rather than taking the attorney route. Hindsight is always 20/20.

As always, I am so very grateful Jim and I came to you. You are wonderful to work with and to be around. I hope your continued success helps so many more people. It made all the difference to me!

Divorce is expensive and emotional. My divorce was no exception. Working with Arons & Associates Divorce Mediation lessened the toll on both counts. Sandy helped us navigate a fair and calm ending to a 40+ year relationship. She helped us both look at what worked best in our situation and calmly moved us forward in the process. Sandy was able to take the unknowns and make them understood, the emotion and help us see clearly and the cost saved us thousands of dollars in attorney fees. She was thorough, patient and understanding of our situation while seeing the final outcome to the best possible resolution. And, now that the divorce is final, I look back and am incredibly grateful that, for our situation, would could not have done our final act in any better way.

Sandy Aarons enabled me to go through the my divorce with a level of dignity, clarity of purpose and sense of fairness that I didn’t know was possible. Her no-nonsense manner of addressing each critical element throughout the process kept me focused. She presented the facts clearly, allowing my ex and me to remain as cordial as possible and avoid unnecessary expense of attorneys with opposing agendas. I highly recommend Sandy and her team!

My experience with Sandy Arons has truly been amazing. She provided a huge weight off my shoulders and made a difficult time in my life so much easier. She is warm, smart and so knowledgeable in so many areas I needed help with. I highly recommend using her services.

Thank you for all your help, Sandy. I really appreciate your expertise and your kindness through this. You made this process so much more manageable than it would have been otherwise.

Thanks for everything. Your help made this process a lot easier!

I referred a friend to you because you are so darn good at what you do!

I know I paid you for your services but, I wanted to say thank you for your time and thoughtfulness through all of this. Going back to almost a year ago and a few attorneys, I want you to know you've been the only person who's made me feel like I wasn't alone in this horrible divorce process. Not even my own attorneys made me feel that way. I really mean that. Thank you so much. All the guidance you have provided has been spot on.

Sandy was the light at the end of the crazy divorce tunnel for me! After months of getting no where and spending thousands of dollars I sought out Sandy’s help. She was the answer to my prayers she helped get my ex and I on the same page even when it was not easy and gave us everything we needed to get things finalized. If I could do it all over again I would hire Sandy first to help sort out things with my ex and then go the flat rate divorce route like I eventually decided on after firing my lawyer I would have saved thousands of dollars. Sandy thanks again for all that you do you are a gift

Sandy was an amazing mediator and has been used now by multiple people I know. She was extremely skilled in getting my divorce moving in a peaceful and cost effective manner. I cannot recommend highly enough that you use a mediator for your divorce and use Sandy!

The process of divorce is never easy, but working with Sandy before reaching out to an attorney was the smartest move we could have made. She saved us money, gave sound settlement recommendations and made the process run smoothly with her knowledge and ability to keep things fair for both of us. Her prompt replies via phone and email were always greatly appreciated. I would most definitely recommend any couple going through a divorce to start with Sandy, she’s a trustworthy professional who can help guide you through difficult decisions and make the process less painful, both emotionally and financially.

I was skeptical at first because my ex-wife's attorney recommended her firm to handle our mediation. I was pleasantly surprised when I first met Ms. Arons and found out that she was extremely impartial and insisted that we meet in the middle and made me feel like she represented me also. I can truly recommend her services to anyone that is going through this difficult situation and know that she is very detailed and thorough.

Many thanks for all your help and understanding. You are doing wonderful work for families. I greatly appreciate the assistance and guidance you provided me and my wife during our divorce process. As promised, your services reduced the stress, time and cost of our divorce.

Sandy Arons was our mediator for our divorce. During the process, Sandy was fair to both parts, always trying to work towards the well-being of the whole family. Sandy was approachable, and available at all time. She was efficient and reliable when some issues arose. Sandy is knowledgeable in the financial and legal aspects of the divorce process. She also understands the emotional aspects involved in a divorce, and works accordingly. Our divorce was settled in good terms and amicably thanks to Sandy's mediation skills. I would highly recommend Sandy Arons if you are considering divorce.

Sandy helped us through what can be a very difficult and contentious time. Her processes were easy to understand and logical, making sure both sides felt heard and worked towards an agreeable end. I would highly recommend her to others that may be going through a similar situation.

My lawyer reviewed the business valuation you provided and was very impressed. They would like to send you referrals. Thank you so much for your great work on my case. Based on your report findings, I believe we will be able to settle our case with minimal conflict and minimal attorney fees. Additionally, the tax information your provided will allow us to save about $6,500 on taxes this year! I so appreciate your financial expertise and guidance.

Ms. Arons,

You likely do not remember me but I will never forget the help and advice you gave me (2) two years ago. I went through an unnecessary difficult divorce that took 4.5 years to complete. The legal matters ended on Dec. 31, 2022. Your advice and recommendations of Mr. DeMarco, Mr. Donelson and Ms. Jessy were exactly what I needed in order to navigate that chapter of my life.

I want to make sure you know the difference you make in people’s lives, especially mine.

Have a wonderful day. Prosperous blessings for you and your family.

Thank you so much for all you did for me.

By working with Sandy I felt like I had an ally in helping me think through the legal complications of divorce as well as the emotional complexity of the process. Having to decide to end a marriage of 30 years I found myself alone at a point in my life I never thought I would have to make these decisions. I needed a confident and someone to help me navigate a complicated world that felt isolating. Additionally, she was essential in keeping the cost of my divorce down.

Sandy is a professional. This process is so daunting and she does a great job of walking you through at a pace that is manageable. She is a bright spot for during this process.

To be honest, I was skeptical at first - not going through an attorney to sort through a divorce. Although my husband and I were not on speaking terms, Sandy managed to work with the both of us individually and communicated efficiently with updates, questions, and concerns. Her matter-of-fact demeanor set the tone as she proved herself to be knowledgeable while working hard for both of us. She even helped me find a realtor to sell our home, as well as a mortgage lender with whom she spent much time explaining my unique situation. She worked tirelessly to get the job done as quickly as possible. Her goal is to get the best case scenario for each party without the messiness that often comes with an attorney. If you are on the fence about hiring her, just make that first visit. You won’t be disappointed and just might be impressed.

I highly recommend using the divorce mediation service provided by Sandy Arons. It is far more cost effective than hiring divorce attorneys. There's no sense paying attorneys hundreds of dollars an hour to communicate for you when a mediator can be a neutral facilitator and help you negotiate your marriage dissolution agreement. Divorce comes down to numbers and what each party is legally entitled to and can pay. Sandy can help you sort that all out without battling in court. If your divorce doesn't involve significant power imbalances, domestic violence, or other complex legal issues, you can save yourself a considerable amount of time, money, and heartache by working with a mediator instead of attorneys. At the very least, it wouldn't hurt to book an initial consultation with Sandy.

Sandy did an awesome job. She was direct, precise and very to the point. Anyone seeking to keep the lawyers at bay and can have an amicable conversation should call Sandy. She saved me time, money and a lot of unnecessary headaches that come with lawyers. I highly recommend giving her a shot to resolve your differences.

The process was very caring and very efficient. Sandy was able to help us navigate the paperwork while still making sure both of us were heard and got what we needed in the divorce. Would definitely recommend to anyone especially over any lawyers.

Thanks so much for working with us, it certainly made a hard thing much more bearable.

I want to thank you for your help, wisdom, and guidance through this whole process. You helped me and Laurie come to an agreement that would never have been possible without you. It was an expensive journey that I’m positive would have been much more costly without you. I can’t thank you enough for your support. I have already referred another couple your way, and I’ve provided your contact information and my highest recommendation to my network of mental health care professionals.

Professional service, professional people, with real solutions. You owe it to yourself

Sandy was a light that helped guide us through a very dark chapter. I cant say enough about her genuine care and attention to both my wife and I. Her heart for helping people is apparent and unique.

Thank you for your time, attention, and care you put in our case. You were instrumental in getting us to an agreement.

Thank you, Sandy for your wisdom and guidance during my divorce process. You have served as financial consultant, divorce mediator, therapist and referee, and you have managed to balance all three beautifully. This time has been one of my life's more challenging times, but because of you, my financial challenges have not overwhelmed me. I always felt safe and valued when talking to you, and I am eternally grateful.

During the most difficult time of our lives, Sandy was fantastic at helping us navigate our divorce and come to a reasonable settlement without having to go through the process of hiring lawyers. Her experience and knowledge was so appreciated and I would recommend her to anyone that has to unfortunately go down the road of divorce.

If you're looking for and committed to a divorce process that is collaborative, balanced, cost-effective, minimally stressful, and carried out in a way that's in the best interest for all involved, Sandy and her team are the way to go. Given her personal experience and professional background, Sandy has a balanced approach that enables her to speak both from the mind and the heart. Her financial expertise was particularly useful for moving efficiently through matters pertaining to the division of assets, and she kept the best interest of our children front and center while working with us to develop a parenting plan. She's well-versed and up-to-date on matters pertaining to the practical, financial, and legal sides of divorce. And perhaps most importantly, she's just an all-around kind human being which goes a long way when you're navigating what would usually be a very stressful experience.

Sandy was great to work with....i'm not much of a "religious man" but during this EXTREMELY difficult period of my life, i asked the heavens for someone that was cool, fair, and reasonable to come along to help sort this mess out. Sandy delivered all that and then some.

Sandy provided extensive help, wisdom, and guidance through my whole divorce process. She helped me and my wife come to an agreement that would never have been possible without her. It was an expensive journey that I’m positive would have been much more costly without Sandy. I can’t thank her enough for her support. I have already referred another couple Sandy's way, and I’ve provided her contact information and my highest recommendation to my network of mental health care professionals. I highly recommend Sandy's service to anyone seeking an amicable divorce.

We are so thankful we found Sandy and her team to help us through our divorce process. They helped us reduce the stress, time and cost of our divorce compared to our friends who took the standard attorney route. It was these friend’s stories of their miserable, expensive and very contentious divorces that steered us to Sandy’s divorce financial mediation. My wife’s therapist has also had several clients over the years who worked with Sandy and recommended her. Many thanks to Sandy for always being patient, thorough and working on our case over the holidays to ensure all details were wrapped up properly. I appreciated her consistent focus on not just getting a settlement done, but helping us get the settlement that was right for our family. Our divorce process was not always smooth sailing as this was a very emotional time for both me and my Wife. Sandy is a real pro at diffusing volatile situations and allowing us both to cool down which resulted in clear thinking and good decisions. Her ability to calmly explain financial options and their pros and cons educated us about finances and tax issues. This information allowed us to realize when compromise was necessary and ultimately allowed us to make confident, smart choices that were in the best interests of our family. Her collaborative process also allowed us to preserve a good working relationship which is critical since we have two kids to raise together. She understands the importance of ex-spouses getting along and we appreciated her focus on the family. I am so glad we trusted her to help us and highly recommend her services before attorneys get involved.

Thank you! You have absolutely been a blessing to us and I will definitely remember this as time goes by. We will definitely recommend your services anytime we see a family in need.

I cannot say enough about how thankful I am for Sandy's guidance through my divorce. She is kind, skillful, practical, fair, and understanding. I recommend her highly.

Arons & Associates were an invaluable resource and support as we navigated a major change in life with their wisdom and sensitivity.

Sandy was wonderful to work with. She helps you navigate the entire process from start to finish, providing assistance with every step in-between. Highly recommended!

Sandy helped us navigate through our divorce. She is very professional and knowledgeable. She was able to guide us and make the process as smooth as possible. She took into account our situation and our individual needs.

The budgeting exercises that I did with you, as well as the assembly of all the financial information was invaluable in negotiating a settlement that works for our family. Thank you for your help during this very difficult time. We are very pleased with the final outcome and will definitely refer divorcing friends to you.

I could not have received the divorce settlement that I had wanted and ultimately received without your guidance. Thank you. Thank you. I’m forever grateful.

Sandy’s financial counsel was invaluable as I traveled through my divorce. At a very emotional time, she helped me focus on my long term financial goals, develop a budget, and make wise decisions during mediation. She even testified on my behalf when I had to go to court, spelling out clearly and concisely for the judge what the financial issues were and why I needed the support I was requesting. The result was a better outcome than I had anticipated. Clearly, I could not have received that settlement without Sandy’s help and guidance with the financial issues. I would highly recommend that anyone going through a divorce remember that the financial decisions made will affect the rest of your life so it is best to have Sandy and her associates on your side.

After being married for over three decades, it was expected that the separation/divorce process would be emotionally overwhelming. I don’t know what I would have done without Sandy. Early on, she had me fill out a detailed budget that I could not possibly have thought through myself. I came to see that there was a huge discrepancy between what I thought I needed to survive and what I, in fact, needed. As a result of Sandy’s expertise and negotiation skills, I was able to get an extra $1,000 a month in alimony, certainly more than I had anticipated. That’s $12,000 a year! I could not have done this without Sandy’s help. She also counseled me on how to get the most benefit out of attorney fees, which, believe me, can be extremely high! She is an exceptional professional who leaves no stone unturned when it comes to her client’s welfare. She empathizes well to the whole range of emotions involved in separating from one’s spouse; she knows how to help each client on the most personal level. Sandy’s help was worth more than I can ever express. Thank you, Sandy, for a job well done!

After my divorce was over, I didn’t realize I needed to create a new ‘Living Will’ or ‘Health Care Proxy’ assigning someone other than my ex-spouse to make medical decisions for me if I was in an accident. My divorce attorney never mentioned these issues. The After-Divorce Financial Survival GuideI received from Arons & Associates included this and other invaluable information, too. I’d recommend it to every divorcee.

I was in such a fog from the emotional stress of my divorce that I could not think straight. Sandy knew what we needed to do. She organized boxes of loose paper and created budgets, spreadsheets and graphs. When Sandy was done with her analysis, I knew how much alimony I needed to live each month including taxes and saving for retirement. She worked tirelessly with my attorney and I before and during mediation to develop and execute a successful strategy. Detail should be Sandy’s middle name. She provided my counsel with the financial ammunition that we needed to get what I wanted. She also worked equally hard after mediation to ensure that there were no loose ends. I don’t know what I would have done without her.

Her software can generate reports and graphs that are easy to understand and that communicate volumes of information very concisely. Sandy is very thorough. She also knows how to present information that your attorney needs and wants. Sandy’s years of sales and negotiations allow her to anticipate potential objections from your spouse and overcome those objections. Mediators appreciate the clarity her analysis brings to the table. The opposing counsel won’t want Sandy on your side.

Sandy helped me tremendously in the divorce process. She offered so much more help than my lawyer AND counselor. She listened to me intently, worked hours going over piles of financial information and gave me sound advice. I highly recommend her!!

The software that Sandy uses and the graphs and reports that it generates makes mediation much less combative and more of a discussion. It is hard for the opposition to argue with facts.

Financial mistakes made during this stressful time will affect you and your children for the rest of your lives.
