#1 mistake in mediation is often waiting to long. Folks are relieved and surprised after the process and often remark that they only wish they came sooner.

Everyone asks me this.
And honestly? It’s the wrong question.
“Can mediation work with a narcissist?” assumes you’ve already diagnosed your ex — and that the label tells you what to do next.
Here’s what actually matters: the behavior in the room.
In this video I break down what specific dynamics make mediation harder, what makes it still possible, and the one thing that changes everything.
If you’ve been told mediation won’t work for your situation — watch this before you decide.

There’s a reason I wear flannel to every mediation. And no, it’s not because I lost my suit. 👔➡️🪵
The research on warmth vs. competence says what you wear changes whether people trust you enough to be honest. In divorce mediation, that’s everything.

The 5-minute rule I give every couple before
we start.

You get 5 minutes to say everything.
Uninterrupted.

Then they get 5 minutes.

Not 5 minutes to argue — 5 minutes to be heard.

Most couples haven’t actually heard each other
in years.

Try it tonight.

Real talk from folks in relationships about (their) relationships is an endangered species. Which, if spoke more, could deflate unrealistic expectations and therefore boost satisfaction. So yeah

Minnesota’s Next Generation Law Practice

What is a “next-generation” law firm?

Recently, Kare 11’s ten-o’clock news ran a feature story on “Beer & Bequest,” our will-writing workshop at Tin Whiskers, a local St. Paul brewery. The firm has been co-hosting this event with Tin Whiskers for the last year or so, aiming to bringing the practice of law into comfortable spaces. Specifically, “Beer & Bequest” brings wills, trusts, powers of attorney, and health care directive into a casual atmosphere and conversational space. No stuffy office or or intimidating courtroom. Instead, we talk shop while enjoying Black Sheep pizza and Tin Whiskers brews. What could be better?

“Beer & Bequest” reflects McLaughlin Law’s down-to-earth approach to the legal practice generally. Our mission is to get honest, effective, and affordable legal counsel into community. Period.

As a general practice, McLaughlin Law is a specialist in everything. This model is a rarity. It’s so rare it’s almost unheardof. Here’s our rationale: experience has shown that more often than not, legal problems are incredibly inter-connected, entangled, and don’t follow neat divisions. For example, a “simple” divorce will often spur a Chapter 7 bankruptcy, which in turn raises question about real estate law—from foreclosure to mortgage refi, to quit claim deeds. In short, the more we know, the more we can help our clients. As a result, McLaughlin Law assists clients with legal issues across the board—from business to immigration, and adoption to probate.
