Mediation Services

Resolve Disputes Faster, Cheaper, and With Less Damage — On Your Terms

Litigation is expensive, unpredictable, and exhausting. Mediation works: more than 80% of cases that go to mediation settle in a single day, saving tens or hundreds of thousands in fees and years off your life.

Our attorneys are trial-tested and trained mediators, and we offer the full spectrum of mediation services — whether you need a neutral facilitator or a tough advocate fighting for you in the mediation room.

How We Can Help

As Your Neutral Mediator

We can serve as the impartial mediator in most any disagreement, including:

  • Business and commercial disputes

  • Employment and workplace conflicts

  • Contract and partnership dissolutions

  • Real-estate and construction disagreements

  • Family law and divorce (property division, custody, support)

  • Estate and probate disputes

  • Any civil matter where parties want to avoid court

What sets us apart:

  • Trial experience means we can quickly spot the real strengths and weaknesses on both sides — no posturing goes unchallenged.

  • We won’t just sit there and pass papers. Instead, we actively reality-test positions and guide parties to durable, creative solutions.

  • Half-day and full-day sessions available (in-person, Zoom, or hybrid).

  • Flat-rate mediation fees — you know the total cost before we start.

Mediation Preparation & Strategy (for Parties or Their Attorneys)

Even if you already have a lawyer, we also provide behind-the-scenes mediation coaching:

  • Confidential case assessment and valuation

  • Drafting powerful mediation position statements

  • Building realistic settlement ranges and BATNA/WATNA analysis

  • Mock mediation sessions and opening-statement rehearsal

  • Damage models, exhibit books, and visual aids that sway the other side

Representation in Mediation

If you want us as your advocate in the mediation itself- we can handle it:

  • Aggressive yet pragmatic negotiation on your behalf

  • Real-time strategic advice during breaks

  • Drafting and revising settlement agreements on the spot

  • Protecting you from bad deals while pushing for the best possible outcome

Why Mediation With Us Works

  • Direct access – You deal with your attorney. directly, never an associate that you’ve never met.

  • No surprises on cost – Flat fees or half-day rates for mediation; clear pricing for prep and representation.

  • Trial credibility – Because we have actually tried cases, the other side knows we’re not bluffing when we say we’re ready for court.

  • High settlement rate – Our cases settle because we prepare thoroughly and negotiate hard.

  • Confidential & low-stress – Everything stays private, and we meet at a time and place (or Zoom) that works for you.
