FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
New Lives, New Looks after Divorce
Clients of
Newport Beach-based divorce-mediation service to get
makeovers courtesy of gInside Editionh
Newport Beach (February 7, 2003)
Having already taken some of the financial sting out
of divorce with the help of Newport Beach-based Divorce
Wizards, several O.C. clients of the mediation service
are in for a bonus post-divorce makeovers from NBCfs
Inside Edition.
The show airs Feb. 10 at 3:30 pm on KCALNBC/9.
These makeover clients went to Neiman Marcus to select
designer dresses and suits and received makeovers
from Alan Edwards in Santa Monica.
E Robbie Kribell, who lives in Buena Park and works
for the city of Irvine, had 13 inches slashed from
her hairh and went from a frosty blond to a reddish
brunette. She says, gIfm a totally different woman
now.h Kribell was married to her second husband for
just over a year. Since he refused to sign divorce
papers, she had to go to court. She represented herself,
with the help of Divorce Wizards, and her divorce
was finalized last June. gIfm proud of myself handling
it on my own. Divorce Wizards made it possible. The
makeover gave me a great opportunity to start a new
life.h
E Jeanette Levert,, national operations director for
a Fortune 500 consulting firm who lives with her 10-year-old
son, Matthew, in Lake Forest, was divorced from her
husband of 20 years last June. gThe best part of the
makeover was meeting three other people who were in
the same situation and their true demeanor was one
of fun, emotionally healthy, and moving on with their
lives,ff Levert said. g. It was good to know that
they were going on with their lives, looking forward
to the future.h She used Divorce Wizardsf document-preparation
service. gIt took an emotionally gut- wrenching situation
and helped me get through it with minimal frustration.
I did not want to add more pain and anguish to a situation
that was already devastating. I completed the paperwork
as instructed and never saw the courthouse or judges.
I just did not want to have one of my last memories
of my marriage be reporting to the courts.h
E The makeover wasnft only for women. Bryan Linden
of Newport Beach, clad in a designer suit after his
makeover, exulted, gI feel like a celebrity!h His
divorce, facilitated by Divorce Wizards, will be final
any day now. gI don't have a whole lot of time and
Divorce Wizardsf service was quick and easy. It was
also very affordable compared to alternative methods
of divorce.h
Clients' pre- and post-makeover pictures will be available.
