Hear From Our Clients

What started as immense fear for me in coming forward turned into one of the most redemptive and empowering processes I have ever experienced. All thanks to Ryan and Flannel People Mediation; I give him my highest recommendation.

Ryan shows up with authenticity and leaves his ego at the door - an approach that is refreshing in the mediation and professional world.

Ryan helped my wife and me navigate a difficult divorce with empathy and professionalism. He created a calm environment for open communication and helped us reach a fair settlement agreement. I highly recommend him for his strong communication skills, knowledge of family law, and commitment to a fair outcome.

Felt seen and heard for the first time in this process.

Ryan is shifting the paradigm of the status quo when it comes to divorce and mediation. After having gone through the painful traditional model, what Ryan offers is leaps and bounds in the “right” direction if you’re looking for another way to peacefully coparent with another. Thank you, Ryan! We’re glad you’re out here doing the work you do.

As a family law attorney, I often refer potential clients to Ryan McLaughlin at Flannel People Mediation before they engage legal counsel. After hearing the client's story, it’s clear that some issues can be resolved more effectively through mediation rather than through the courts, where defense mechanisms tend to escalate conflicts. Ryan's approach to mediation avoids placing either party on the defensive, which is crucial in helping them overcome disputes without the stress and cost of court intervention. His style, grounded in deep experience and knowledge of the family court system, significantly enhances the likelihood of a positive resolution. I highly recommend Ryan McLaughlin for those seeking a peaceful and practical resolution to family conflicts.
