MEDIATION & ARBITRATION

Let us help resolve your dispute in a safe, convenient and comfortable environment. Whether you prefer a traditional in-office setting or a fully virtual session, we offer flexible options designed to fit your schedule and your needs.

With our virtual dispute resolution, you get all the benefits of a skilled and trained neutral—without the inconvenience of travel. Attorneys are busier than ever, and clients have work, family, and time constraints. We make it easier to move your case forward.

If you prefer, sessions can also be held in our office or at a location of your choosing.

Appointments, whether in person or virtual, require a 2-hour minimum reservation. Saturday appointments are virtual only and require a 4-hour minimum.

Control
You have more control over what happens and when it happens in your case. When you stand before a judge, you are at the mercy and pleasure of the court. When you negotiate a settlement, you have a say in the end result.

Privacy
Unlike court proceedings, mediation and arbitration take place in private settings—away from public scrutiny and sensitive exposure.

Confidential
All parties agree that what is said remains confidential, with limited exceptions such as threats of harm, child endangerment or required court filings.

Money
Resolving disputes through mediation or arbitration is almost always more cost-effective than prolonged litigation, especially when both parties are seeking resolution.

Freedom
You are free to take breaks, end a session, or continue at another time. The process works around your needs—not the court’s schedule.

Mediation
Mediation is non-binding. While a court may require attendance, it cannot force a settlement. Mediation can take place before a lawsuit is filed or at any point during a case. It may resolve part of a dispute—or all of it.

Arbitration
Arbitration is typically binding. The arbitrator acts in a role similar to a judge—hearing evidence, ruling on issues, and issuing decisions. Many contracts require arbitration instead of litigation.

In certain cases, such as divorce, arbitration awards may be subject to court approval before becoming final.

Efficiency
Court schedules can delay resolution for months. Arbitration allows cases to be heard and resolved more quickly.

Convenience
Virtual arbitration makes it possible to participate from anywhere—ideal for clients with travel demands, mobility concerns, or limited availability.

Reduced Tension
Private virtual waiting rooms and controlled environments help minimize conflict and stress, especially in sensitive cases like custody disputes.

Cost Savings
Arbitration can reduce travel expenses, missed work, and the overall cost of extended litigation.

Comfort
Whether in person or virtual, the process is designed to keep participants comfortable and focused. There is no formal courtroom setting or strict dress requirements.

Privacy & Confidentiality
Sensitive matters remain private, helping protect families, reputations, and children from unnecessary public exposure.
