After researching several attorneys I hired Regina as my lawyer to help with my divorce. I chose her for her experience, candor, and reputation as a family-oriented lawyer. I received all that and more. Regina is sensible and assertive while also being empathetic. She is an excellent communicator. I was well informed of my progress and what was required of me -- and only to the extent needed so my costs were not run up. She worked hard to achieve the best outcome for myself and my child(ren) while being professional and efficient. I was very happy with my decision. I couldn't have asked for anything more from Regina.

When first meeting Regina it was initially to create a pre-nuptial agreement, never thinking we would meet again to handle divorce proceedings. The prenuptial agreement was done timely, accurately and her advice was very exacting. When the separation/divorce was imminent she was not only a most knowledgeable legal representative but kind and emotionally available. Never did I expect to be navigated through such a most difficult time in my life with such caring. With Regina representing me I felt confident that my best interests were being taken care of and would highly recommend her.

Ms. Turner exhibits all of the qualities an excellent attorney should have. She is capable, honest, intellegent, informed and professional. I would strongly recommend her services and would seek, and have sought in several instances, her legal expertise and representation. Ms. Turner excelled in my Civil case, researched the issue at hand throughly and thoughtfully and provided solid, clear, and sound legal advise which ended in my favor. Ms. Turner's breadth of the subject was obvious in my conversations with her which I found to be informative, clear and for me calming. I ask a lot of questions and she was always willing to take the time to answer them so that I understood the issue and possible end result. Ms. Turner is masterful at her craft, has honed her legal skill for many years and can, and will exceed your expectations.

Rebecca Lippman helped me through a divorce and custody dispute when I was going through a period of emotional and financial distress. Her knowledge of the law made it possible for me to achieve an excellent outcome, both for me and equally important for my then four-year-old child. Her ability to interact effectively with my ex's lawyer saved me time, money and much aggravation. Besides her highly professional lawyering skills, she is a truly motivating force who helped me get on with my life at a time when I was in need of advice in a number of areas. She is experienced, encouraging and focused. I recommend her 100% to everyone seeking to move forward after divorce on a strong and confident footing.

I was dreading the divorce process for a long time after speaking to several contentious attorney's. Although I had a difficult marriage, I had no interest in punishing my ex or engaging in a protracted battle. Rebecca's approach to the process was an absolute revelation to me. She spent a considerable amount of time validating my concerns and walking me through the particulars of this complicated process. I felt understood, well supported and hopeful, due to Rebecca's expertise and optimism. She was knowledgeable, clear and accessible throughout the process and ultimately crafted a reasonable settlement that was fair to both parties. I cannot recommend Rebecca highly enough.

My experience with the PA Davis Law Office has been excellent! Ms. Davis and her team provided invaluable assistance in updating a joint custody agreement while serving overseas in the military. Navigating the complexities of military service and updating a legal custody agreement could have been incredibly challenging, but Ms. Davis and her team handled it with expertise and professionalism. I had reached out to several attorneys, but due to the unique circumstances of my case and where i was stationed, they were unable to assist. Being from Maryland, I was relieved to find that the PA Davis Law Office team had the necessary expertise as they cover the DC/MD/VA area. The initial communication was a bit challenging because of the time zone difference pertaining to the update of the case, but Ms. Sofia and the team were extremely patient and understanding, which I really appreciated. I am grateful to Ms. Davis for taking on my case and to the entire team for their dedication and support throughout the process.

What a Mediation Lawyer Can Do for You

A mediation lawyer specializes in resolving disputes outside of the courtroom through a process called mediation. Mediation involves a neutral third-party mediator who helps the disputing parties reach a mutually acceptable agreement. Mediation lawyers can represent clients in various matters, including divorce, business disputes, employment conflicts, contract issues, personal injury claims, and more.

Unlike litigation, mediation is a less adversarial and more cost-effective way to settle disputes, often leading to faster resolutions and preserving relationships between the parties involved.

When Should I Hire a Mediation Lawyer?

Consider hiring a mediation lawyer when you’re involved in a dispute and want to avoid the time, expense, and stress of going to court. Common reasons to hire a mediation lawyer include:

  • Divorce or child custody disputes: A mediation lawyer can help you reach a fair settlement on issues like property division, alimony, and parenting arrangements without going to court.
  • Business or contract disputes: For disagreements such as contract disputes, partnership conflicts, or intellectual property issues, a mediation lawyer can assist in resolving the matter through negotiation.
  • Employment disputes: Issues like wrongful termination, discrimination, or wage disputes can be addressed through mediation to find common ground and avoid lawsuits.
  • Personal injury cases: Mediation can help both parties agree on compensation in cases like car accidents or slip-and-fall claims without a prolonged court battle.
  • Property disputes: Disputes over property ownership, landlord-tenant issues, or boundary disagreements can be settled more amicably through mediation.
  • Family or inheritance disputes: Mediation can help resolve conflicts over wills or trusts without further dividing the family.

What Does a Mediation Lawyer Do?

A mediation lawyer provides a range of services to help clients resolve disputes through negotiation and mutual agreement. Their responsibilities often include:

  • Representing your interests: Acting as your advocate during mediation to ensure your rights are protected and you understand your legal options.
  • Preparing for mediation: Reviewing the facts of the case, gathering necessary documents, and advising you on potential resolutions.
  • Facilitating communication: Helping to facilitate open and constructive dialogue between parties to clarify points of contention.
  • Negotiating settlements: Assisting in negotiating fair and balanced settlement terms that are in your best interest.
  • Drafting mediation agreements: Preparing the official mediation agreement that outlines the terms of the settlement, which is often legally binding.
  • Avoiding litigation: Aiming to reach a settlement that eliminates the need for a court trial, saving time and resources for both parties.
  • Handling complex legal issues: Explaining the legal implications of various settlement terms in cases with complicated legal matters.

How Are Mediation Lawyers Paid?

Mediation lawyers typically charge for their services based on the complexity of the case and the time involved. Common payment methods include:

  • Hourly rate: Charging an hourly fee ranging from $150 to $500 or more, depending on experience and case complexity.
  • Flat fee: For simpler mediations, some lawyers may offer a flat fee covering all legal work involved in the process.
  • Retainer: In ongoing or complex cases, a retainer may be required as an upfront payment billed against as work progresses.

Discuss fees and payment structures with your lawyer during the initial consultation to understand the cost of mediation services.

How Much Does a Mediation Lawyer Cost?

The cost of hiring a mediation lawyer depends on several factors, including the case's complexity, the lawyer’s experience, and the time required to resolve the dispute. General cost estimates include:

  • Hourly rates: Typically between $150 and $500 per hour.
  • Flat fees: For simple mediations, fees may range from $1,000 to $5,000.
  • Total mediation costs: Can vary widely, from $2,000 to $10,000 for straightforward cases, up to $10,000 to $50,000 or more for complex disputes.

Always request a detailed cost estimate during your consultation to understand total expenses.

Top Questions to Ask a Mediation Lawyer

Before hiring a mediation lawyer, consider asking the following questions:

  1. What experience do you have with mediation cases like mine?
    Ensure the lawyer has relevant experience in handling similar disputes.
  2. How do you charge for your services?
    Clarify the fee structure and request an estimate based on your specific case.
  3. What is the likelihood of resolving my case through mediation?
    Seek an honest assessment of whether mediation is suitable for your situation.
  4. How long will the mediation process take?
    Inquire about the expected timeline and number of sessions required.
  5. Will you personally handle my case?
    Confirm who will manage your mediation and represent your interests.
  6. Can we pursue alternative dispute resolution (ADR) if necessary?
    Ask about other forms of ADR, such as arbitration, if mediation doesn't resolve the conflict.

How to Check the Credibility of a Mediation Lawyer

To ensure you're hiring a reputable mediation lawyer, take the following steps:

  • Verify their bar status: Confirm with your state bar association that the lawyer is licensed and has no disciplinary history.
  • Look for mediation experience: Review their website or professional profile for specialization in mediation and successful case histories.
  • Read client reviews and testimonials: Check platforms like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, or Google for client feedback.
  • Ask for references: Request references from past clients familiar with their mediation skills.
  • Check for certifications: Look for certifications from organizations like the American Arbitration Association (AAA) or the Association for Conflict Resolution (ACR).

What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?

To maximize the effectiveness of your initial meeting, bring the following:

  • Relevant documents: Any materials related to the dispute, such as contracts, emails, financial records, or court filings.
  • List of key issues: A detailed list of the main points of contention that need resolution.
  • Timeline of events: A chronological account of events leading up to the dispute, including prior resolution attempts.
  • Goals for the mediation: Be prepared to discuss your desired outcomes and areas where you're willing to compromise.
  • Questions for the lawyer: Any queries about the mediation process, fees, or their approach to dispute resolution.

Being well-prepared will help the lawyer assess your case effectively and provide the best possible advice for resolving your dispute through mediation.
