Mr. Leininger became the first attorney in Staten Island to be certified as a Divorce Mediator in 1994. Since then he has mediated over 860 Divorce Mediations, involving assets of up to $15 million dollars as well as difficult custody disputes.

Mr. Leininger offers couples a Free Zoom videoconference Consultation regarding Divorce Mediation and offers those Free Consultations Monday thru Saturday between 10 AM and 8 PM subject to his other appointments. Couples who utilize his Mediation Services can save up to 90% in legal fees as compared to a fully contested divorce which includes a Court Trial, and can often spare their children from the terrible stress which a divorce trial can involve.
