MEET THE MEDIATOR

Kent Peterson
Certified Mediator

Kent has a different history than most divorce mediators; his decades of career experience in mediation, investments, banking and insurance. This first-hand knowledge proves to be valuable during mediation sessions.

After being employed as a Series 7 investment broker with a major, international firm, he left that promising career in 1998 to help couples through the life change of divorce. He earned the professional designation of CDFA (Certified Divorce Financial Analyst), a financial specialist in divorce, then assisted collaborative law divorce attorneys and their clients during their meetings, providing them with the short- term and long-term financial consequences of their decisions.

In 2001, he earned certification as a client-centered mediator and opened Mediation One, which has since expanded from one to five convenient locations; St. Louis Park, Minnetonka, Anoka, Maple Plain and Buffalo.
