Meet Stacy

Stacy LeBow Siegel believes that most domestic and family law matters can avoid protracted and expensive litigation when resolution can be accomplished through an effective mediation process.

Mediation Services

Siegel Solutions, LLC, with over 30 years of litigation experience, offers complete mediation services for any issue, with a focus in all domestic and family law mediation services. 

Why Choose Mediation?

In the mediation setting, each party is heard, listened to and their points and positions are given credit and respect. Stacy can help you find success with personalized mediation.

Child Custody & Support

Mediation allows both parents to sit down together with the mediator in a neutral environment and work towards a resolution that will work for everyone - most importantly the children.

Alimony

There are three kinds of alimony in the State of Maryland - Pendente Lite Alimony, Rehabilitative Alimony, and Indefinite Alimony.

Property Distribution & Debt Division

During mediation, the parties will create a detailed list of both the real and personal property along with the fair market value of the property.

What is The Process Like?

Mediation sessions can occur at any location that is convenient for all parties. During the first meeting, Stacy will get to know you and your spouse or partner. She will answer any questions you may have. Then, if everyone has brought their paperwork, she will go through the paperwork with both of you and you will begin identifying the issues that need to be addressed.

Procedure
  1. Fill out and submit the contact form on this website to send a direct message.
  2. Provide Stacy with each parties' name, email address, and phone number. If either party has an attorney, please provide the name and phone number of that attorney.
  3. Choose the time of day (morning, afternoon, or evening)  that you would prefer for your appointment.
Preparation for Initial Meeting

The information to gather in advance of the first mediation:

  1. Income information, personal and business tax returns (2-3 years if possible), most current paystubs, W-2's for 2 years of tax returns are not available.
  2. Costs for health insurance broken down by the costs for the child(ren) versus the cost for the parent who provides the insurance and the cost for the other parent, if they are covered, out of pocket costs on a monthly basis for doctors, prescriptions, dental, orthodontic, etc. Bring the proof of those expenses with you.
  3. Latest statements for debt, credit cards, mortgage, equity line, car payments, etc.
  4. Latest appraisals for jewelry, home, cars, artwork, etc.
  5. Latest statements for retirements, savings accounts, investment accounts, life insurance or any other investments or savings. Additional things to consider would be the cash value of any life insurance or if you have any savings bonds.
  6. Completed financial statement. Here is the form used by the Courts.
  7. Proof of child related expenses such as work-related daycare or summer camp if you use summer camp as your summer work related daycare.It is not unusual to not have all of the information with you for the first mediation. Do not worry!
Mediation Costs

Stacy's hourly rate is normally divided equally between the parties. Alternate arrangements can be made with parties if necessary. Each mediation session lasts approximately 2 to 2 ½ hours. If the parties want to extend the session and the session is being productive, Stacy is willing to do that. Parties will take breaks during the session for everyone's benefit, and if the session is no longer being productive, Stacy will end a particular session.

Stacy's Approach

Siegel Solutions, LLC is founded on the basic tenet that most domestic and family law matters can avoid protracted and expensive litigation when resolution can be accomplished through an effective mediation process. Stacy believes that the combination of a skilled, talented mediator and proficient counsel yields the best chance of reaching an agreement. Mediation allows parties to enter into agreements containing provisions that a court may not have the authority to grant. Mediation is not bound to the parameters a Judge is bound to. A mediator and the parties can be as creative as they choose to be.
“… everything we were told about mediation was true. It was much easier than going to court, we did this together, and my wife and I made the decisions. We didn’t let a judge make the decisions for us.”
Harry T.

“I was so glad we mediated and reached an agreement. We dealt with every issue my wife and I had, and Stacy made sure that we didn’t fight and that we listened to each other. She helped us look at things from each other’s perspective and helped us come up with solutions we had not even thought of.”
John S.

“My husband and I did not want to spend thousands of dollars on lawyers. We wanted to mediate and have money to send our kids to college. By mediating with Stacy, we can do that. She drafted the Agreement and told us to have our lawyers review it. She made a difficult time much easier.”
