Who Is Todd Singer?

From an early age, I have been fueled by a passion for learning and a commitment to helping others. My family instilled in me the values of education, community service, and the inherent dignity of every individual. Earning my undergraduate degree from George Washington University laid the foundation for my academic journey, which I furthered by obtaining my JD from UC Davis School of Law at King Hall. This combination of education and personal values drives me to support my mediation clients with a focus on their unique needs and circumstances.

I am excited to be a part of West Coast Family Mediation. I have worked in family law since 2018, encompassing both mediation and litigation. The transformative work we do in mediation enables individuals to reach lasting agreements while preserving their financial, emotional, and mental well-being. Witnessing the positive impact of our efforts on families is immensely rewarding, and I take pride in contributing to this process. I believe that every successful mediation is a step toward healing.

Outside of work, I enjoy unwinding with TV shows, practicing yoga to maintain balance, and spending quality time with my fiancée, Eva, and our cat, Leo.

Why I chose to work in mediation

Growing up in a family deeply committed to community service, I was immersed in the importance of giving back from a young age. Regular volunteer work at homeless shelters, combined with the lessons instilled in me at home and in synagogue, shaped my understanding of empathy and the value of helping others. My mother, a therapist, further inspired my belief in the power of compassionate communication and active listening.

In law school, I embraced my love for learning and sought to empower individuals by guiding them through the complexities of the legal process. I was drawn to mediation because it allows for collaborative problem-solving, focusing on the needs and interests of all parties involved. Upon graduation, I eagerly sought a platform to put my aspirations into action. I am thrilled to be part of the vital work at West Coast Family Mediation, where we create an environment of trust and understanding, helping families navigate challenging times with dignity and respect.

About Amanda Singer

Services highlight: premarital mediation

I enjoy working with couples before they get married through the following services:

  • Premarital Mediation: I want to give you the tools to have a healthy relationship and start your marriage off on solid ground so that you will never end up back in my office for a divorce. If we can help you improve your communication now, before you face challenges, then you’ll be able to work together to problem-solve.
  • Premarital Financial Planning: the most significant issue we see in couples getting divorced has to do with finances. Too many couples never took the time before getting married to discuss their spending and saving habits, their debt, credit scores, and their thoughts on money.
  • Prenuptial (Premarital) Agreements: without a prenup, if you get divorced, the Family Law of the state of California prevails, which you and your spouse might not agree with. Putting down on paper how you both want to handle your separate and community property provides an opportunity to have control “in case of emergency” (divorce). Having a prenup can also reduce future conflicts since you have already hashed out details in your agreements.
