Journey to Peace

“Supportive, Compassionate, Balanced, Knowledgeable and Efficient Darcia's calm, no-nonsense approach made the challenging process less traumatic and collaborative. She was accessible to answers after our meetings and was very direct, clear and helpful. Her compassionate nature, her easy speaking style, her core understanding of the law and the challenges in conflict resolution made the experience far less anxiety-ridden, faster and more positive than my or my ex could have predicted.”

“She is direct and concise. Very smart, lots of experience, not only with law but with the world in general. She sees the problems and tackles them well.”

“Darcia was kind, smart, and knew how to negotiate for both sides. She was fair and knew the laws in our state. She was patient and smart at getting everything in writing we negotiated.”

“Ms. Tudor brings vast experience and education to the field of family law mediation. In addition to being a licensed attorney, she is also a LMHC, and so she can draw upon both disciplines to assist couples in reaching peaceful solutions. I would highly recommend her to any couples or individuals in need of resolution to family law matters.”

“Darcia could not have been more knowledgeable and professional. Her background as an attorney and with her Masters degree in counseling really helped. Her knowledge of the law was beneficial when that was needed, and when the negotiations between my husband and I were strained, or slightly contentious, she handled things perfectly. I was not fully aware of what I was entitled to after 25 years of marriage, and Darcia led us through the financial part of divorce in a way that both parties understood, backed up by facts and WA State law. I am very thankful that it was Darcia that handled our mediation, we saved a lot of money by not paying 2 separate lawyers, and I feel a fair settlement was reached with both of our interests represented. I would definitely recommend her.”

“Thanks so much for your support! I could not have reached this agreement without your help.”

“Darcia embodies everything I imagined in a mediator and more. Darcia accompanied me through the divorce process with so much knowledge, guidance, fairness and warmth. She always highlighted the benefits and the risks by asking the right questions and made me feel so confident in her ushering me and my ex husband through the process together. Darcia is a hidden gem and I am blessed to have found her. Thank you for everything you have done for us Darcia - I am truly and eternally grateful.”

“Darcia has been my Parenting Coordinator for little over a year now, helping to improve communication with my co-parent. Following a very high conflict divorce, my co-parent has continued to be very autocratic and antagonistic. Darcia has been instrumental in helping me not just disengage emotionally from the verbal conflict, but to really develop new ways of thinking in how I approach my co-parent. It’s easy to get stuck in patterns when you’ve been in conflict for a long time. It has been incredibly helpful to have someone with a psychology background who can view the situation objectively and help me understand why my co-parent does and thinks what he does, and help me develop my skills in diffusing situations as they arise. I absolutely believe that this is going to be critical in ensuring my child grows up happy and health, and has the best relationship possible with his father.”

“In a challenging phase, Darcia and her staff made the process fair and respectful for all parties. Thanks EMA Team.”

“Darcia has many firsts to her name, and has blazed a trail as a woman of color attorney working on behalf of children and families. Darcia led the best (truly) implicit bias training I’ve ever attended – and you know I rarely give out that kind of praise. She is smart, witty, and worldly wise, with lived experience that informs a compassionate viewpoint.”
