Julian Liknaitzky Divorce Mediator - North York, Ontario

Divorce is never something you wish to ever see. It’s the lowest point of what you think life can throw at you. Yet, Julian brought light to the depths and a comfort that was very much welcoming.

There was no rushing or inhumane treatment. He communicates in a very friendly manner and understands the troubles you’re going through. Someone with such a large heart and love for his work is what you look for when going through such hard times.

Julian made the process less of a legal exchange, and more of a parting of life. Taking both parties feelings gently in his hands. His phone calls and meetings were always very professional and perfectly on time. Julian guided me in the right direction and even going as far as helping me with post process by telling me what to expect after mediation and how to finalize everything.

Thank you Julian, for being by my side and putting a smile on my face when I thought I wouldn’t see one in a long time.

Working with Julian made the entire process as smooth as it could ever be. He helped a lot, and was very profession but also presented that he really cared and understood the situation, which made talking to him very easy. He worked quick and efficiently and always ensured all questions were answered and that every step was properly understood on my part.

Not that I wish anyone to go through a Divorce, I would recommend Julian to everyone.

I was overwhelmed and I needed someone to make everything make sense. Julian was thorough and said that I could ask any questions I wanted, because he really wanted me to understand everything. He really meant it and he always made sure that everything was clear to me.

Julian explaned that sometimes there are very difficult conversations in mediation that are important to push through. He said that we have to negotiate, and keep our minds open.

I tried so many lawyers before mediation, and they never cared about my emotions at all. I found it so frustrating that they never let me talk.

It was important to me that we put my children first, and Julian helped us do that. He ensured that my ex-wife and I understood what parenting is as separated people. He explained that understanding emotions is important in understanding my decisions. It helped me understand a lot of my frustration with making decisions.

Julian always sent me drafts of our documents to check everything over, and my ex-wife and I began to work together well somehow. He made us both feel heard. My ex-wife even said that for the first time she felt that SHE was being heard. Thanks to Julian, we're doing much better at working together.

I would highly recommend Julian as a mediator. He is a kind person who understands divorce law, but also everything that go along with making these huge decisions for the future.

Highly recommended.

I was hesitant to use a mediator but after speaking with Julian for a free telephone consultation, I felt very comfortable and was impressed with his sensitivity and understanding of my situation. I quickly realized how beneficial the mediation process is for all parties involved, especially my children. Julian is a highly skilled negotiator who is kind, compassionate, patient and extremely fair. His superior negotiating skills allowed my ex- husband I to deal with difficult issues in a positive manner, which has impacted the way we deal with each other today. I highly recommend using Julian as a mediator. I promise he will be the "silver lining" in the emotional separation and divorce process.

Thank you, thank you Julian. You have guided me through an extremely tough and complicated time. I did not know what to expect from a mediator but Julian ticked every box and exceeded my expectations. There was complete trust (my #1 requirement), that he would look after both parties and advise us to make sane decisions at an insane time. Julian is knowledgeable, fair, detailed orientated, trustworthy, extremely kind, and was for me both a source of valuable information and an unintentional therapist. He listens, and was able to articulate my jumbled thoughts and feelings that helped centre me so I could make the proper decisions. Highly recommended!!!

Naturally apprehensive about sharing the details of my failed 13 year marriage with a complete stranger, any doubts and fears that i had when first meeting Julian were quickly put to rest by his warmth, sincerity and humour. About halfway thru our first session, i felt like i was talking to a friend who not only didn't judge me, but, instead, showed me genuine compassion and understanding. I had no idea what to expect upon entering his home office those 2 years ago, but i do know that all my hopes and expectations were surpassed when I left that office for the last time. Thanks for everything, Julian
