Mediation Services for Family Law Matters
Corrynn J. Peters, Esquire, brings more than two decades of family law experience to the mediation table. Licensed in Virginia since 2003, Corrynn has served families in a variety of roles—attorney, substitute judge, and guardian ad litem. Early in her career, she clerked for United States Magistrate Judge B. Waugh Crigler, where she gained valuable firsthand experience observing and learning the mediation process at the federal level.
Corrynn owned and managed a family law firm for many years litigating complex family law matters including equitable distribution and highly contested custody matters. Corrynn understands the attorney–client relationship from the inside. This experience gives her a unique perspective on what attorneys expect from mediators and the real-world realities when cases do not settle.
Mediation offers families an opportunity to resolve disputes privately and efficiently while maintaining control over the outcome. Corrynn works collaboratively with counsel to ensure that the process remains constructive, and solution focused.
Corrynn's approach is grounded in respect, neutrality, and practical problem-solving. Drawing on years of courtroom and negotiation experience, she helps parties move beyond conflict toward workable resolutions in matters such as custody, visitation, support, and equitable distribution. After years of working with clients in stressful circumstances, Corrynn is seasoned in:
• Listening to highly emotional and sensitive concerns without judgment.
• Balancing advocacy with reality-testing.
• Helping parties see beyond “winning” toward practical resolutions.
Whether your case is at the beginning stages or heading toward trial, mediation can provide a cost-effective alternative to litigation—preserving relationships and fostering agreements that meet the unique needs of each family.
Disclaimer: In her role as mediator, Corrynn J. Peters does not provide legal advice or representation to either party. She acts solely as a neutral facilitator. Each party must be represented by their own attorney, who remains responsible for providing legal guidance and protecting their client’s interests throughout the mediation process.
