About Lynnette

Resolution Without Destroying What Remains

I became a TMCA credentialed mediator because I believe most families want the same thing: resolution without destroying what is left of the relationship. My approach is structured, respectful, and practical. Whether you are navigating divorce, custody and visitation, property division, elder care, or an inheritance dispute, I will help you move from conflict toward an agreement you can live with and stand behind.

Client Experiences

What Clients Say

Real stories from families who found resolution and a better path forward through mediation.

Going through a divorce and working out child custody and a parenting plan felt overwhelming, and I wasn't sure mediation would work for us.

But the process turned out to be far less stressful than I expected. Instead of feeling like we were on opposite sides, we were able to have real conversations and focus on what was best for our children. Lynnette kept everything calm, organized, and productive, even when emotions ran high. We reached agreements on custody, visitation, and our parenting plan without going to court. Mediation saved us a significant amount of money and time, and it helped us move forward with a workable plan we both felt good about.

Chenoa W. Huntsville, TX

I recently turned to Common Ground Mediation in Hurst to resolve a business contract dispute, and I am incredibly impressed with the service.

The mediator I worked with was fantastic, she was sharp, professional, and stayed completely neutral throughout the process. She had a great way of cutting through the technicalities of the contract to keep both sides focused on a practical solution. What could have easily turned into a long, drawn-out legal battle was settled efficiently in a single session. Beyond her expertise, I was blown away by how affordable the service was. It is rare to find such high-quality professional mediation at such a reasonable price point. If you're looking for a fair, effective, and budget-friendly way to settle a dispute in the DFW area, I highly recommend her.

Michael M. Hurst, TX

After working alongside Lynnette for the past 12 years, I have had a unique opportunity to see firsthand how she operates and what truly sets her apart.

She is deeply committed to her clients and approaches every situation with thoughtfulness, integrity, and a genuine desire to help clients move forward. Lynnette consistently works to find solutions that prioritize what matters most to her clients and their families. I am excited to see what the future holds for Common Ground Mediation.
