Anju D. Jessani, MBA, APM – Accredited Professional Mediator

Anju D. Jessani founded Divorce with Dignity Mediation Services in 1997.  With offices in Hoboken and Clinton, and with services also offered online, she has clients throughout New Jersey.  All mediation services are provided by Anju D. Jessani, Accredited Professional Mediator, rather than associates or trainees.  Her Wharton MBA and her extensive experience working in the financial world make her uniquely qualified to conduct complex, economic mediations. Anju was ranked in the top 20 family/divorce New Jersey mediators by NJBiz.

In addition to private mediation, Anju offers services through the New Jersey Judiciary's Administrative Office of the Courts' (AOC) Economic Mediation Program for Family/Divorce Cases, Rule 1:40 for cases that have not settled at the Court's Early Settlement Panel. Additionally, for complex and high conflict cases, we offer collaborative mediation services, a hybrid of mediation and collaborative law, where we work with the clients directly, but have periodic five-way meetings with our clients and their attorneys, at critical junctures in the mediation process.

She also specializes in providing post-divorce mediation services. Changes in circumstances as well as the child's age may necessitate new arrangements. Blended families, couples contemplating commitment, as well as families in crisis can utilize mediation to address/define financial and parental roles and responsibilities. Because of our urban locations, we have significant experience mediating conflicts for clients with different socioeconomic, cultural, ethnic and religious backgrounds. We provide mediation to families, stepfamilies, conflicts regarding college choice and funding, domestic partners, civil unions, roommate disputes, never married couples, grandparents, and extended families, and are gay friendly. We also provide mediation for prenuptial, cohabitation, mid-marriage, and mid-marriage reconciliation agreements.

Anju is the lead instructor for NJAPM's divorce mediation training initiative and serves as an instructor for the New Jersey State Bar Association basic and advanced training programs. As an experienced mediator, Anju serves as a mentor to new mediators seeking co-mediation experience.
