Mediation is a confidential, voluntary process where a neutral mediator helps parties communicate, identify key issues, and work toward a mutually acceptable resolution. Rather than having a judge decide the outcome, mediation allows you to maintain control and reach solutions tailored to your specific situation.

Working with an attorney mediator means you receive guidance from someone who understands both conflict resolution and the legal implications of potential agreements. This helps ensure discussions are productive, informed, and focused on realistic outcomes that can be formalized when appropriate.

Yes. Mediation is confidential, and discussions that take place during the process generally cannot be used in court. This allows parties to speak openly, explore solutions, and negotiate in good faith without fear that conversations will later be used against them.

I mediate a wide range of matters, including family disputes, individual, business conflicts, contract issues, civil and other disagreements. Mediation is particularly effective when parties want to resolve issues efficiently while preserving relationships and minimizing stress and expense.

If an agreement is not reached, you retain all of your legal rights and options. Mediation often helps clarify issues, narrow disputes, and improve communication, even when a full resolution is not achieved. Nothing agreed to in mediation is binding unless all parties choose to formalize it.

Many mediations are resolved in a single session, while more complex matters may require additional time depending on the issues involved and the parties’ goals. To get started, schedule a mediation using the calendar above. Flexible scheduling is available, including evening sessions and limited Saturday mediations by request.
