About

Ariel Winger, Attorney at Law, Winger Mediation & Family Law, Divorce Mediator

Ariel Winger was admitted to the California State Bar in 1996 and has practiced family law exclusively since 1999. After years of litigating domestic-violence cases, Ariel turned to Mediation and Collaborative Divorce as a more humane, holistic, and cost-effective alternative to the traditionally combative, court-based model of divorce. She has been offering non-adversarial, out-of-court divorce options since 2007.

With a background in psychology and counseling, as a child of divorce, and as a single parent after her long-term marriage ended, Ariel is especially sensitive to the emotional and financial issues that strain most family law cases. Having worked with diverse populations and non-traditional families for over 20 years, Ariel has extensive experience assisting LGBTQ families and offers compassionate and non-judgmental services to parting couples of all races, ethnicities, socio-economic status’, and gender identities.
