MEET THE MEDIATOR

Kent Peterson
State Qualified Neutral 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 provides divorce mediation throughout Minnesota via conference calls, Zoom online mediation or personal visits.
