What Clients Are Saying
I used VirNet Virtual Mediation for the dissolution of my marriage, and my overall experience was very positive. Josh provided a supportive and professional environment throughout the mediation process, which was especially appreciated during what can be a difficult and stressful time.
Communication was excellent, and I felt supported throughout the process. The virtual format worked well and made it easy to participate in the mediation and work through the issues that needed to be resolved.
Based on my experience, I would absolutely use VirNet Virtual Mediation again and would recommend their mediation services to others looking for a supportive and professional approach to resolving a divorce.
We also wanted to thank you for your professionalism and guidance throughout the mediation process. Everything was helpful during this process, and we gained everything we needed during that time. We truly appreciated the respectful environment Josh created and the support he provided as we worked through important decisions.
Thank you again for your time and assistance. If we ever decide to revisit mediation in the future, we will certainly reach out.
My husband and I used virtual mediation with Dr. Ben. Some of my key takeaways from meeting with Ben would be his patience, his attention to details, his understanding and compassion, and the way he navigated the entire mediation between parties. I would absolutely work with him again. I felt like I got more from the mediation than going down the litigation route and I also felt like the other party heard my concerns more than they did when we tried to talk to them directly. Additionally I felt good about the privacy and confidentiality and didn’t worry about how my needs and concerns would translate to the other side through Ben. Overall, it was a really good experience, despite the reason we were there in the first place. I would recommend him a thousand times over.
I worked with Josh on a landlord/tenant dispute. He was respectful, fair, and honest. I would absolutely work with VirNet again but hopefully will not need it! That being said, I'm very grateful mediation is available and thankful that we found the help we needed to resolve the issue.
I don’t usually leave reviews but felt compelled to do so after working with Ben. Finding Ben as a mediator for our divorce was a godsend. I spoke with many lawyers and mediators prior to finding Ben and none came close to his level of excellence (even ones that charge 3 x more). His responsiveness, thoughtfulness, fairness and ability to find common ground and creative solutions to disagreements are all second to none. He made both of us feel heard, and even when I thought a negotiation or agreement was doomed to fail, he came up with a plan or idea that worked for both of us and we finalized our divorce quickly and fairly. I could go on but suffice to say, if you’re considering mediation services (better than lawyers) and you’ve come across Ben, consider yourself lucky, do yourself a favor, and hire him.
I had the pleasure of working with Ben for several years, and I can confidently say that he is one of the most hardworking and intelligent individuals I have ever collaborated with. But what really sets Ben apart is his passion and dedication to his work. He truly believes in the projects he takes on and puts his heart and soul into delivering quality outcomes that benefit all parties involved. Whether he is leading a team or working independently, Ben consistently delivers exceptional results. His attention to detail and commitment to excellence are truly unmatched, and his positive attitude and enthusiasm for his work make him a joy to work with.
We did mediation for a family law/custody dispute. This was a complex case with lots of issues and additional third parties. Ben navigated the issues well, making each side feel heard and respected. It took a long time (because of the contentious nature of the matter, not Ben’s services), but we eventually came to an agreement. We could not have done this without Ben!
We wanted to express our deepest gratitude for all of Ben's help in guiding us through the divorce settlement process. His professionalism, expertise, and understanding made a significant difference in making this difficult time more manageable for both of us.
Ben's commitment to facilitating a peaceful resolution allowed us to part ways amicably, and we believe it has played a crucial role in helping us move forward and heal faster.
Our experience with Ben was in an educational setting. Our independent school was going through some trouble with the relationship between the board and the school leadership. Ben was willing and able to help us with communication, policies, and problem-solving when we could not get there on our own. He was really helpful to us, and we learned a lot about communicating thanks to his support. He has been a great resource!
I highly recommend Dr. Ben Earwicker for his exceptional mediation services. During our divorce process, he guided my spouse and me with kindness and grace, making a challenging situation much smoother. Ben's expertise eased discussions about dividing assets and money, turning what could be uncomfortable into a manageable process. We are truly grateful for his outstanding service.
I contacted Ben for a serious personnel conflict. Ben offered support to all staff members, and let each of them feel heard. We worked together to find solutions. Ben is personable, professional, and knowledgeable in many fields. At the time of our first conversation I felt that I could trust him, and that he would work hard to find a way to mitigate the workplace conflict. Ben has easily earned the confidence of everyone involved. He is invested in finding solutions. I would recommend Ben's services to anyone seeking mediation, personal or professional. I have been consistently impressed with his work and his ability to make people feel safe and respected. Everyone in my organization has enjoyed their interactions with Ben, and he has helped us to become a more effective team.
Ben is the best, very professional! I really appreciate the way he listens to us and accurately dials in on what is most important to each person in mediation. You can tell he cares and wants to guide us toward a healthier family atmosphere without abandoning our individual self interests and goals. I do enjoy communicating with him on a personal level as well. He is congenial and helpful. Hire him, you won't regret it.
Ben assisted with our divorce mediation and child custody. He had great communication with quick responses. Ben was respectful to our needs and wants. He was able to talk through and write up an agreement that met our goals. He was very pleasant, easy to talk to and gave us peace to during a not so easy time and topic. I would recommend Ben to someone considering mediation.
Ben provided marital mediation for my wife and I. Mediation is hard work and Ben helps to lighten the load through his leadership, structured process, and empathy. I appreciate that he did all he could take make every minute count since it is a big investment. I came out of mediation with Ben feeling that I received valuable information that I needed to navigate a very difficult, painful, and complicated situation. The knowledge gained through mediation has boosted my confidence, which I needed in this time. I'm thankful to Ben and would use his services again if needed.
Ben is a very knowledgeable professional. He is thoroughly professional. We luckily found him on the net and we had a great experience. He is patient, very open to suggestions and an honest professional. I strongly recommend him as a professional.
Ben did incredible work in helping us lay out a settlement agreement for our divorce. He was relaxed, and incredibly friendly which took away a lot of the stress and anxiety. Ben was always eager to answer questions, and if he was unsure of something, he would research it and come back to us with the accurate information. He made sure to communicate with both sides, and always offered up solutions to any issues we had. Ben was an invaluable asset to us in making sure we had everything prepared and laid out correctly for when we filed. I absolutely would recommend Ben to anyone looking for online mediation services!
Ben was very helpful, kind and experienced when we used him for our divorce. The overall experience was very good. He made us feel very comfortable and relaxed.
I would work with Ben again! I used him for divorce. Ben was very knowledgeable about the Oregon court system and was amazing at getting my ex to agree upon things that were in the best interest for everyone
Ben is a great asset to any organization. He has great written and verbal communication skills, is extremely organized, reliable, and innovative. Ben has a wonderful rapport with everyone he works with. I recommend Ben without reservation.

Overall, it was a really good experience, despite the reason we were there in the first place. I would recommend him a thousand times over.
I worked with Josh on a landlord/tenant dispute. He was respectful, fair, and honest. I would absolutely work with VirNet again but hopefully will not need it! That being said, I'm very grateful mediation is available and thankful that we found the help we needed to resolve the issue.
I don’t usually leave reviews but felt compelled to do so after working with Ben. Finding Ben as a mediator for our divorce was a godsend. I spoke with many lawyers and mediators prior to finding Ben and none came close to his level of excellence (even ones that charge 3 x more). His responsiveness, thoughtfulness, fairness and ability to find common ground and creative solutions to disagreements are all second to none. He made both of us feel heard, and even when I thought a negotiation or agreement was doomed to fail, he came up with a plan or idea that worked for both of us and we finalized our divorce quickly and fairly. I could go on but suffice to say, if you’re considering mediation services (better than lawyers) and you’ve come across Ben, consider yourself lucky, do yourself a favor, and hire him.
I had the pleasure of working with Ben for several years, and I can confidently say that he is one of the most hardworking and intelligent individuals I have ever collaborated with. But what really sets Ben apart is his passion and dedication to his work. He truly believes in the projects he takes on and puts his heart and soul into delivering quality outcomes that benefit all parties involved. Whether he is leading a team or working independently, Ben consistently delivers exceptional results. His attention to detail and commitment to excellence are truly unmatched, and his positive attitude and enthusiasm for his work make him a joy to work with.
We did mediation for a family law/custody dispute. This was a complex case with lots of issues and additional third parties. Ben navigated the issues well, making each side feel heard and respected. It took a long time (because of the contentious nature of the matter, not Ben’s services), but we eventually came to an agreement. We could not have done this without Ben!
We wanted to express our deepest gratitude for all of Ben's help in guiding us through the divorce settlement process. His professionalism, expertise, and understanding made a significant difference in making this difficult time more manageable for both of us.
Ben's commitment to facilitating a peaceful resolution allowed us to part ways amicably, and we believe it has played a crucial role in helping us move forward and heal faster.
Our experience with Ben was in an educational setting. Our independent school was going through some trouble with the relationship between the board and the school leadership. Ben was willing and able to help us with communication, policies, and problem-solving when we could not get there on our own. He was really helpful to us, and we learned a lot about communicating thanks to his support. He has been a great resource!
I highly recommend Dr. Ben Earwicker for his exceptional mediation services. During our divorce process, he guided my spouse and me with kindness and grace, making a challenging situation much smoother. Ben's expertise eased discussions about dividing assets and money, turning what could be uncomfortable into a manageable process. We are truly grateful for his outstanding service.
I contacted Ben for a serious personnel conflict. Ben offered support to all staff members, and let each of them feel heard. We worked together to find solutions. Ben is personable, professional, and knowledgeable in many fields. At the time of our first conversation I felt that I could trust him, and that he would work hard to find a way to mitigate the workplace conflict. Ben has easily earned the confidence of everyone involved. He is invested in finding solutions. I would recommend Ben's services to anyone seeking mediation, personal or professional. I have been consistently impressed with his work and his ability to make people feel safe and respected. Everyone in my organization has enjoyed their interactions with Ben, and he has helped us to become a more effective team.
Ben is the best, very professional! I really appreciate the way he listens to us and accurately dials in on what is most important to each person in mediation. You can tell he cares and wants to guide us toward a healthier family atmosphere without abandoning our individual self interests and goals. I do enjoy communicating with him on a personal level as well. He is congenial and helpful. Hire him, you won't regret it.
Ben assisted with our divorce mediation and child custody. He had great communication with quick responses. Ben was respectful to our needs and wants. He was able to talk through and write up an agreement that met our goals. He was very pleasant, easy to talk to and gave us peace to during a not so easy time and topic. I would recommend Ben to someone considering mediation.
Ben provided marital mediation for my wife and I. Mediation is hard work and Ben helps to lighten the load through his leadership, structured process, and empathy. I appreciate that he did all he could take make every minute count since it is a big investment. I came out of mediation with Ben feeling that I received valuable information that I needed to navigate a very difficult, painful, and complicated situation. The knowledge gained through mediation has boosted my confidence, which I needed in this time. I'm thankful to Ben and would use his services again if needed.
Ben is a very knowledgeable professional. He is thoroughly professional. We luckily found him on the net and we had a great experience. He is patient, very open to suggestions and an honest professional. I strongly recommend him as a professional.
Ben did incredible work in helping us lay out a settlement agreement for our divorce. He was relaxed, and incredibly friendly which took away a lot of the stress and anxiety. Ben was always eager to answer questions, and if he was unsure of something, he would research it and come back to us with the accurate information. He made sure to communicate with both sides, and always offered up solutions to any issues we had. Ben was an invaluable asset to us in making sure we had everything prepared and laid out correctly for when we filed. I absolutely would recommend Ben to anyone looking for online mediation services!
Ben was very helpful, kind and experienced when we used him for our divorce. The overall experience was very good. He made us feel very comfortable and relaxed.
I would work with Ben again! I used him for divorce. Ben was very knowledgeable about the Oregon court system and was amazing at getting my ex to agree upon things that were in the best interest for everyone
Ben is a great asset to any organization. He has great written and verbal communication skills, is extremely organized, reliable, and innovative. Ben has a wonderful rapport with everyone he works with. I recommend Ben without reservation.

What Clients Are Saying
I used VirNet Virtual Mediation for the dissolution of my marriage, and my overall experience was very positive. Josh provided a supportive and professional environment throughout the mediation process, which was especially appreciated during what can be a difficult and stressful time.
Communication was excellent, and I felt supported throughout the process. The virtual format worked well and made it easy to participate in the mediation and work through the issues that needed to be resolved.
Based on my experience, I would absolutely use VirNet Virtual Mediation again and would recommend their mediation services to others looking for a supportive and professional approach to resolving a divorce.
We also wanted to thank you for your professionalism and guidance throughout the mediation process. Everything was helpful during this process, and we gained everything we needed during that time. We truly appreciated the respectful environment Josh created and the support he provided as we worked through important decisions.
Thank you again for your time and assistance. If we ever decide to revisit mediation in the future, we will certainly reach out.
My husband and I used virtual mediation with Dr. Ben. Some of my key takeaways from meeting with Ben would be his patience, his attention to details, his understanding and compassion, and the way he navigated the entire mediation between parties. I would absolutely work with him again. I felt like I got more from the mediation than going down the litigation route and I also felt like the other party heard my concerns more than they did when we tried to talk to them directly. Additionally I felt good about the privacy and confidentiality and didn’t worry about how my needs and concerns would translate to the other side through Ben.
