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
