Michael K Travers Jr Ma, JD

We met Michael Travers approximately 25 years ago when we were all members of a Colorado professional mediation organization. Our paths have crossed many times since then: as mediators, as collaborative divorce professionals, as practitioners of Nonviolent Communication, and eventually as friends. A former counselor, Michael listens deeply to his clients and helps people in conflict hear each other. He is a patient and thorough problem solver, encourages self-determination, uses humor appropriately to diffuse tension, and considers the law when helping clients craft lasting agreements. Because we have the highest trust and respect for Michael's abilities, we have not only referred several people to Michael for his professional services, we each have named Michael Travers in our General Durable Powers of Attorney as the successor agent of our estates.

Mr. Travers approaches his mediation clients with a very well reasoned game plan. His experience provides and excellent foundation for finding a middle ground in a terribly complex and emotional subject. Before litigating a divorce, I would highly recommend seeking out an experienced mediator like Michael.

Michael Travers is one of the most highly skilled mediators and collaborative lawyers I know. I have worked for more than 30 years as a family lawyer and have attended hundreds of mediations, and Michael stands out as a professional who unfailingly helps each participant say and hear what needs to be said. When representing a client in a collaborative divorce, he applies these same skills and adds thoughtful representation to the mix. I regularly recommend Michael to people looking for a mediator, and when I represent someone in a collaborative divorce, I recommend him to my client's spouse.
