Assist with Mediation

Odelia Powell

"Odelia brings a unique combination of legal expertise and a background of social work to the table. She was able not only to advise me on the legalities of my case, which spanned three different US states, but she also provided an objective point of view when I asked about the most effective ways to deal with a problem client. She advocated for mediation over threats of legal action, and it worked. I highly recommend Odelia to anyone needing legal expertise, and will gladly hire her again for any future needs. Both her knowledge of the law (and willingness to say she didn’t know an answer but would research it for me) and her reassuring manner were exactly what I needed."
