Hauppauge, NY – Families facing divorce often juggle legal paperwork, financial division, child‑care decisions and intense emotions. Win‑Win Divorce Solutions, a Long Island mediation firm, tackles those challenges with a unique co‑mediation model that brings together an attorney and a licensed social worker at the same mediation table.
Two professionals, one goal
Bradley Berfas, Esq., handles the legal and financial aspects of divorce, while Jeffrey Savitt, a social‑work mediator, focuses on communication, conflict management and the emotional dynamics that can stall negotiations. “I focus primarily on the legal side of things,” Bradley said. “Jeff is very good in the sense of working the emotional side.”
Why a joint approach matters
Divorce decisions often involve child custody, support, property division, retirement accounts and more. When anger or stress clouds communication, couples may struggle to reach agreements. Jeffrey explains that “half of what mediation is is really emotional containment,” helping couples feel they can compromise and negotiate toward resolution.
The firm’s co‑mediation structure allows each professional to concentrate on their area of expertise while remaining neutral. Neither mediator represents a spouse; together they help the couple identify issues, discuss possible solutions and draft terms for a mediated agreement.

Win‑Win offers a complimentary 30‑minute consultation, virtual mediation, and in‑person sessions at its offices in Valley Stream and Hauppauge.
