Hi, I'm Oliver Ross, I'm the founder of Out-of-Court Solutions,
00:00:08.000,00:00:16.000 and I've been mediating in Mesa, Red Mountain
and Downtown Mesa,
00:00:16.000,00:00:22.000 and the surrounding East Valley cities for
the last 18 years.
00:00:22.000,00:00:26.000 My background is in the law business and psychology.
00:00:26.000,00:00:31.000 I practiced law in California for 19 years
and then having gone through my own divorce,
00:00:31.000,00:00:40.000 I went back to school at night, and first
I earned a Master's in Clinical Psychology and a PhD in Human Behavior Psychology.
00:00:40.000,00:00:47.000 We moved in 1994 to Mesa in the general Phoenix
Metropolitan area.
00:00:47.000,00:00:57.000 And what I've known since opening this practice
in January of 1995 that I'm able to help couples in Mesa,
00:00:57.000,00:01:05.000 Red Mountain and all of the areas of Downtown
Mesa, as well as other areas here in Phoenix,
00:01:05.000,00:01:13.000 go through whatever process they choose, whether
it's divorce or legal separation in a very very different way than
00:01:13.000,00:01:17.000 if they were going to use two separate lawyers
in the adversarial process.
00:01:17.000,00:01:23.000 My goal is to help couples communicate and
negotiate effectively, offer different options and alternatives,
00:01:23.000,00:01:33.000 provide them with legal, financial and tax
information, and also to be attendant to the emotions that are so common in mediation.
00:01:33.000,00:01:45.000 So I've had the actual blessing of helping
over 1400 couples since 1995 resolve their situations in a
00:01:45.000,00:01;55.000 collaborative and cooperative way, rather
than in an adversarial and, not to mention, expensive way.
