Neutral ProfileJessica Toelstedt joined Mason Law & Mediation, LLC as a partner in 2025 and has been practicing family and matrimonial law for nearly twenty years. Prior to joining MLM, Jessica was a partner at Berkman Bottger Newman & Schein, LLP, where she was Co-Chair of the Mediation and Collaborative Law Practice. After spending the first half of her career litigating matrimonial matters, Jessica has spent the last decade focused on helping her clients resolve family law matters outside of court. As a teenager, Jessica experienced firsthand the challenges of her parents’ divorce and of a parent’s history with drug and alcohol abuse. For Jessica, it was that personal experience, together with her time as a young attorney in litigation that fuels Jessica’s desire to help her clients navigate family law issues in a healthier way. Jessica was trained in mediation by the Center for Understanding in Conflict and in Collaborative Law by the New York Association of Collaborative Law Professionals. In 2023, Jessica added Parent Coordination to her practice and she was trained to serve as a Parent Coordinator by the Association of Family and Conciliation Courts (AFCC). Jessica is the outgoing Vice President of the Board of Directors for the Family and Divorce Mediation Council of Greater New York and remains an active member of the organization. Although Jessica no longer represents parties in litigation, she serves as a Mediator on the Court Roster of Matrimonial Mediators for the Supreme Court of New York in New York, Kings and Richmond County.
