Angela Zinn Cotugno, Mediator

Certified as a mediator in 1995, and licensed as an attorney in 1996, I have been recognized as a family law expert on many levels including my 2001 certification by the State Bar of California as a Family Law Specialist. In addition to my certifications, I was chosen by the Judiciary in both Imperial and Los Angeles Counties to act as minor’s counsel. Teaching Family Law at the college level brought many new ideas and assisted with developing ways to explore multiple alternatives for various situations. My ten years of experience in both family law litigation and mediation gives me a unique perspective in assisting couples through mediation.

Heather Zavala, Mediator

Divorce, even in the most amicable situations, is a difficult process.  There are legal questions, requirements, and myths that the participants need to be resolved. With a professional history in business administration and development, and with my extensive training in family law mediation procedures, I bring experience from all angles. I know how important it is to help limit the financial impact of divorce and keep the fairness issues the top priority.  My clients tell me that I have assisted them in keeping their issues private as well as helping them to maintain a well balanced and friendly on going relationship.
