Michael J. Henry

michael henry divorce mediator

After graduating Yale Law School in 1989 Michael practiced law in a private firm for ten years.

During his law practicing years, Michael felt that the traditional legal approach to conflicts and disputes is missing some key elements . During a conflict or dispute, people tend to experience a wide variety of emotional, psychological, social, and even financial cross-currents that the traditional legal appraoch tends to ignore.

This brought Michael to look for an alternative approach that will be able to effectively address both the legal and human aspects of conflict resolution.

Cara Raich

Cara Raich joined divorce mediator new york (ReSolution) in 2006.

Cara began her legal career in Canada working as a litigation associate there and then in NYC. Cara's interest in mediation rose after it became clear to her that the traditional system did not offer a real alternative for people to confront and resolve their conflicts in a peaceful non traumatic way.

“At the core, I think that a divorce or a separation is a largely a family problem with a legal component, not a legal problem with a family component. I am committed to creating an environment that feels safe enough for each person involved to be listened to, and to be heard."
