Nancy Grossman is an attorney who specializes in helping couples resolve contested family matters.
Ms. Grossman served as Staff Attorney to Fulton County Superior Court Judge Philip Etheridge for 27 years. During her tenure with Fulton County Superior Court, she assisted with hundreds of civil and domestic motions, hearings and trials. Ms. Grossman and Judge Etheridge pioneered the very popular and successful Judicially Hosted Settlement Conference Program in Fulton County. She has enjoyed the experience of working with many of Atlanta's most prominent attorneys in highly contested domestic relations and civil matters.
Ms. Grossman received her undergraduate degree from the University of Rochester and her law degree from Emory University School of Law.
Mediation Style:
Ms. Grossman's extensive courtroom experience enables her to communicate the risks of trial to mediation participants and help participants consider the strengths and weaknesses of their respective positions. She appreciates that domestic relations cases take an emotional toll on the individuals involved and enjoys helping parties reach satisfactory settlements.
Suggested Preparation for Mediation:
Ms. Grossman believes that parties should bring any papers to mediation that they think the other side may need to see, for example, recent 401k or IRA or investment statements. Pre-mediation briefs can be helpful in a complex financial or complicated factual case but they are not necessary. Opening statements at mediation usually can clarify the issues and positions.
Successful Results:
When Nancy Grossman helped one spouse who did not want the divorce realize it was going to happen regardless of her feelings for her husband, that spouse could then focus on getting what was really important to her.
Hourly Rate Per Party:
| 2-Party Case | 3-Party Case | 4-Party Case |
| $125.00 | $100.00 | $87.50 |
As indicated, the cost of mediation is split equally among all parties unless otherwise agreed in writing. In most cases, your cost for mediation is simply your share of your mediator's hourly fees. See FAQ: How Much Mediation Costs.

Hobbies and Interests:
Ms. Grossman runs every day, plays tennis and golf and loves to travel. Her favorite trips were to Greece and driving around Alaska.
Mediation Environment:
Ms. Grossman likes to create a calm space for the parties so they can focus on the issues. She thinks having a white board is essential so everyone has a focal point with regard to the oustanding issues. Providing drinks and a sweet snack often helps keep mediation participants going in the middle of the day.
