Memberships & Affiliations

  • "With Colleen's help, the divorce process was much less emotionally painful for myself, my ex-husband, and my children. She helped us dissolve a marriage, not the family. Thanks to her knowledge, experience, and sensitivity, my ex-husband and I maintain a strong parenting bond for our children."

    C.C. • Mediation Client

  • "Colleen McManamon has been assigned to my case twice, the most recent being this year. She began by sending both parties a packet of inquiries and questions. It was long but inquisitive as she genuinely takes interest in seeing both sides and had the willingness to do her due diligence. Her packet included her resume which showed her qualifications in conflict resolution, domestic violence, and addiction counseling. Colleen didn’t just take one parties’ account of events, she inquired both sides without creating additional drama. Her report was comprehensive and clear. She also was ready to testify at our hearing date and maintained a great level of professionalism throughout the process. She identified financial abuse which I had not heard of any other CFI doing so before. In all, Colleen is very qualified to deal with the many issues that arise particularly in high conflict cases and ensures to maintain the best interest of the children in her report."
