Wake Up Call (The Reboot)

71. #FEMSQUIRE Series: Divorce Mediator Phyllis Klein, Esq.


Listen Later

I have had a girl crush on divorce lawyer-turned-mediator Phyllis Klein since I was a bright-eyed baby lawyer and heard Phyllis's voice bellowing down the hallway from her office fiercely advocating on behalf of a client. I thought, "THAT's the kind of lawyer I want to be!"  Fast forward about 17 years and here we are.  Phyllis has transformed her practice from divorce litigation to a strictly mediation practice.  She is a fierce mediator too!  What is that, you may ask? Aren't mediators supposed to softer, gentler? Well, not the ones who actually get cases settled!  Find out more about her style and why it's so effective.  We learn a little about Phyllis the woman, too.  I love her even more now.

Included in this conversation: 

  • The job Phyllis really wanted
  • Did she really like litigation?
  • Why (and how) she converted to a mediation practice
  • Her personal experience with divorce
  • Her mediation style 
  • What are we REALLY doing at mediation anyway?
  • How can we make the divorce process better?
  • Is a divorce a failure?  (we debate that question) 
  • Getting along with your ex for the kids 
  • Getting along with the ex for yourself, too!
  • Does she have any regrets?
  • What she hopes her kids learn faster than she did
