Navigating the labyrinth of family dynamics can, at times, feel like an impossible impasse. Ms. Blankman was able to listen, deduce my situation, find ignored patterns, walk with me, and discuss options for a safer and healthier me.

Not culturally competent. I'm Black and my ex is white. She actively praised my ex for cheating on me (calling it a blessing) and said that I shouldn't hold any of that against her. She only took my ex's feelings into account. When I talked about how things were impacting me, she was dismissive and told me to just make different choices that would be even more harmful to me in the long run. She continuously took sides during the mediation and held double standards. She was not helpful in dividing things equitably. She tried to operate outside of scope of practice by giving life and emotional advice that was unwanted. When I asked to take time to think about things, she did not allow this and continued to push me and put blame on me for wanting to set boundaries and not make rash decisions.

I found Ms. Blankman to be extremely professional, kind and pro-active. She really helped with clear communication and helped me to understand my rights according to Washington State Law.
I have and will continue to refer her to anyone and everyone I know that needs a reliable and compassionate Family Lawyer/Mediator.
Thank you again for your help.
