Located in the heart of Hillsboro Village, Jan Walden specializes in mediation and uncontested divorce, helping couples navigate the end of their marriage with dignity and respect.

Jan Walden’s practice is focused exclusively on non-adversarial family law. Her primary services include:

• Post-Divorce Modifications: Helping families adjust their agreements as life circumstances change, without returning to litigation.

Jan’s background includes serving as a Special Master for the Fourth Circuit Court of Davidson County, where she witnessed the damage caused by high-conflict litigation. This experience inspired her to help clients find a lawyer who focuses on solutions rather than winning a fight. She is a Rule 31 Listed Family Mediator and has trained extensively in dispute resolution.
