I felt Jennifer made her mind up about me within seconds of our initial consultation. This was my first divorce, & I was unfamiliar with the process & scared, so I stuck it out thinking it was me who was wrong, not her.
Jennifer had little regard for my concerns & insisted she knew what was best. She rushed my case & pushed me to take offers from my ex’s counsel even though they only benefited him.
My ex is abusive & my child is terrified of him. Instead of hearing me out that maybe my ex should have limited custody, she told me it was my responsibility to encourage my son to have a good relationship with his dad. I was told I needed to force my son to go to his dad’s whether he wanted to or not. She told me if my son resisted, I needed to implement strict punishments. Apparently our children’s wishes & fears don’t matter in family law.
Don’t be like me & assume the attorney knows best. Jennifer did not advocate for me. She made me feel powerless & I wish I had trusted my instincts & hired a different attorney. My son is suffering because I didn’t listen to my gut. Don’t be like me. Stay away from this firm - they don’t care about their clients or children.

Jen and Sarah were amazing throughout every step of the process of my most recent divorce case. Every step of the way they looked for ways to reduce costs and find the quickest way to resolution. Jen was diligent, responsive and well prepared. She understood my case, I felt heard and she got the outcome I wanted in the quickest way possible. I highly recommend Jen Feingold and her team to anyone looking for a true partner in their representation.

I hired Attorney Jennifer Feingold to clear up an issue I had in my separation agreement from my divorce. My original attorney left a rather important piece out the agreement. Jennifer was very helpful in explaining the procedure and what needed to be done. She was very competent, communicative and conscious of my feelings. She was able to fix my issue in a very timely matter.
In hindsight, I wish I would have found Attorney Feingold to represent me for my divorce from the start.

Never heard of them until I got two fraudulent charges from them back to back this morning. They were declined because I keep my card locked for this reason, but trying to charge someone $60 twice 6 minutes after is shady as hell. Maybe this lawyer needs to retain done legal counsel.

I am an experienced lawyer, but no longer handle residential landlord/tenant litigation. When I needed help for a rental property I own, I knew I was not up to date on recent changes to Colorado landlord/tenant laws. Sal personally returned my call promptly and quickly drafted the necessary documents for me. It was a pleasure working with him.

My experience with CFI Kimberly Utesch in Colorado was highly disappointing. From start to finish, it was evident that Ms. Utesch lacked the competence and dedication necessary for her role. Throughout the investigation process, she seemed to simply phone it in, displaying a lack of thoroughness and professionalism. She often had an auto-reply email set up which made getting a hold of her very difficult. She refused to review any videos or relevant evidence because would not allow me to send these items through Dropbox, as the files were too large for email.
She conducted my "home visit" through Zoom. To make this even worse, when she called on Zoom to do the home visit she started to berate me and tell me that it was inappropriate that I had my child present for our interview. She seemingly forgot that this appointment was for the home visit that she had specifically asked me to have my child present. She then proceeded to turn her camera off and "watch us interact" for 30 minutes.
One of the most concerning aspects of Ms. Utesch's performance was her failure to interview ANY of the family members who had submitted questionnaires...... on either side of the family. This negligence not only demonstrates a lack of diligence but also raises serious doubts about the validity and fairness of her findings. How can a comprehensive investigation be conducted without gathering input from all relevant parties?
Furthermore, Ms. Utesch's overall competency was severely lacking. It was clear that she did not possess the necessary skills or knowledge to handle the complexities of the case. Her lack of attention to detail and apparent disinterest in the matter at hand only exacerbated the situation. To make things worse she then asked for more money at the end of her investigation. The ONLY thing my son's mother and I have ever agreed on is that Ms Utesch has no business being a CFI.
Less than a year after her report was completed, our judge allowed us to have another investigation completed. This report had DRASTICALLY different findings. Her entire report was a waste of time and money.
Overall, I would not recommend Ms. Utesch as a CFI based on my experience. Her subpar performance and lack of thoroughness do a disservice to the families relying on her expertise. I urge anyone seeking a competent and dedicated CFI to look elsewhere.

Chris has helped me more than I could have ever imagined. He has an incredible knowledge of the law and helped me through one of the hardest times in my life. He was prompt, kind, and ended up helping me get the best deal I could have possibly hoped for. He is a phenomenal lawyer that genuinely cares about the well being of his clients.

We so much appreciate the personal help and attention our son's lawyer, Chris Corkadel, gave to him and to us as parents. As out of state residents, all three of us needed help in dealing with our son's past traffic violation in Colorado, which prevented him from overcoming the suspension of his driver's license in any state. This in turn obviously blocked avenues of work and income during a time when the pandemic made it crucial to find jobs. Chris' experience with the courts in Colorado, his dedication, his friendly and warm listening skills, all worked together to result in a new driver's license for our son, and because of that, our son has a new lease on life. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

I worked with attorney Heather Landauer and paralegal Brianna Griffey for my family court case. They were always attentive and on top of the issues I was having. Kept me at ease and took my concerns seriously. I was pleased with the knowledge, service, and time I received. I would recommend them to anyone going through a contested family court case.

Erika and her team were amazing!! They went above and beyond in every way possible. Erika was always available to answer my questions no matter what time of day it was. She explained the process every step of the way and was a true advocate for my son and I. I knew she always had my back and she made what was possibly one of the most difficult times in my life, as smooth and seamless as possible. I couldn't have asked for a better outcome and it's all because of Erika. She's professional, down to earth, relatable, crazy smart and the best at what she does. She is my knight in shinning armor and I will forever be grateful for everything she did for me!!

In the beginning it felt like this firm truly had my children's best interest at heart. My case played out for over 3 years. After "winning" at trial with further litigation to take place, I was struck with an uneasy feeling. I felt bullied into a settlement as the attorneys were fed up with my case. Many people had told me over the duration of my case that things weren't quite adding up and that my attorney did not seem to have our best interests at heart. I began to reflect on the case and all the inconsistencies, placating to the other side and capitulating to them as well. I then conferred with another attorney and ended up retaining her services to finish out my case. Upon the new attorney's review of my case, she stated this case was a mess, and she was flabbergasted at all the litigation that was allowed to take place. She mentioned there was a much more direct way to have gone about this case, less money and time wasted, not to mention my children's mental and emotional health. My worst feelings had been confirmed. It is a relief to finally have someone on my case who is truly for the children and not the money.

I regret that I ever trusted Burnham law and specifically Kristin Weaver and Leslie Shafer with case. Not only they did not deliver as promised but they are way overpriced for the services they provided. Since Leslie is the principal I was hoping to receive atleast some sort of customer service from her instead she was covering up for her council that was practicing less than a year. I reached out to Leslie on multiple occasions hoping she would assist me as a paying client but instead she sent me threatening email after I questioned what was done and requested explanation.

During the one of the hardest situations you will likely find yourself in, Leslie will help guide you through the process in an honest way. She will care about you and fight for the best outcome she can get you. She will answer your questions timely. She will become a trusted teammate who will keep your best in mind.

They used to be Cantafio and Hammond. Their employment lawyer Christine Breen took my case, when I was at my lowest, just let go after years of workplace bullying, and recently retaliated against for whistleblowing, and contemplating suing my employer. She promised to help, but then was MIA and refused to return calls. Yet she charged $2000 doing work no one asked her to do, as I already signed a severance agreement not to sue. She never wrote a demand letter. Never did anything substantial, except wrote 2 emails. I had to tell her to cease and desist charging me. I had to bring this case to the bar association. She immediately called, yelling, you agreed to pay this amount. We negotiated, and she reduced it by a few hundred. I should've gone to the bar association and got her disbarred. When you are at your most vulnerable, you cannot trust these people.

Most times when you hire a defense attorney, chances are it is not for a pleasant situation. What made it a lot more enjoyable was the professionalism of this law firm! Every single staff member that I met was extremely professional and friendly.
I had the pleasure working with them for approximately one year. Anytime I emailed or called, they responded in a timely manner. They explained the whole process and answered all my questions. They are extremely knowledgeable and amazing at what they do!
I can not thank Max, Marianne and Hailey enough for all their hardwork and dedication!!!
If you find yourself in a situation where you need a defense attorney, hire the best! If you want the best, then hire this law firm!

I hope for the future Google Reviews can provide an option of (—) Negative starts in the mean time I’m gonna rate this little mediocre house “business” a — 9. I schedule an appointment with a month of anticipation for March 18th on the first place, mind you I create this appointment around February if not sooner around last weeks of January. I call to confirm on March 15th to my surprise a lady answers and says “we hope you called us back, we are gonna have to reschedule due the person in charge of your case is out for an audience” My initial thought was, there’s no one else that can take my case? There’s just one lawyer? Didn’t thought that much of it, they rescheduled me for today April 8th at 4pm. I call today in the early morning to confirm my appointment before I do so I found a v-m in my phone form some lady saying “please call us back as soon as you hear this” so I do, for my surprised the First Lady that answers doesn’t have any idea of how to help me, they transferred me with another person and this one tells me we are gonna have to reschedule the reschedule ONCE AGAIN! Due the lawyer taking your case is out sick.” I am beyond upset at this point, this is the second time they rescheduled me! I told the lady the that was unacceptable, she give me the option to come tomorrow and the I told her that I couldn’t be missing work, I already asked for the evening off so to please let me keep the same time and to find me another lawyer that could take care of my case. This lady proceeds to tell me “yes, let me see what I can do and I would give you a callback.” This happens at 10:23am for the rest of the day I never received a call, email, text, message , fire sign or anything from this person. So, if you are desperate, have limited funds and need assistance ASAP please AVOID THIS little piece of trash !! They would waste your time, resources, money, gas and words. Spend the extra fees in someone that actually follows direction, mean what they say and has genuine word, not this little circus. Do better , y’all playing with peoples lives and time. Shame on you and your ancestors!!!!

Katherine Reckman represented me in my divorce and she was very fair and steadfast through my proceedings. My ex husband chose very inept representative which derailed his case. In the end, he trusted Katherine to write up our agreement which he eventually signed. Divorce is ugly and stressful and in Colorado, you need someone who can negotiate with the other side to keep the cost down. Katherine did that and was able to do it with empathy. Highly recommended.

I found Terri when I was traumatized, alone and incredibly scared. She and her paralegal, Traci, held my hand through the process and helped me find a therapist, which ended up being a real life line for me. I'm a big believer now in the collaborative approach, and I ended up spending far less in litigation costs and got through the process quicker than anyone I know in similar circumstances. I can't tell you what a comfort it is to turn the intricacies of your life over to such a compassionate and competent, knowledgeable lawyer. It helped me keep my sanity and wits during the darkest time of my life. I'm on the other side now, and Terri and her firm played a big part in that.

I highly recommend this firm, and Terri Harrington, specifically. This was the best decision I made during a very overwhelming divorce process. I hired Terri the week before my scheduled mediation, as the previous lawyer dropped the ball significantly and I had to fire him. Terri and her team were incredibly communicative (for example, I have never had to wait longer than 24 hours for a reply), empathetic, knowledgeable, and quick. Terri caught up on my case in just a few days, and she made me and my case a priority by responding to emails swiftly, walking me through the process and what to expect, and being clear on what was needed from me, and what their role was. I just recently referred Terri and team to another person, and would do it again and again.

Randy Golden was amazing in guiding me through a tough cross border divorce case. Not only was he supportive, he gave me choices and kept me informed and involved over a protracted 143 week case.

I highly recommend Randy Golden!

I wouldn't recommend. I was looking for an advocate in my legal separation case that was filed against me. He filed necessary paperwork, but he reacted negatively when I asked him specific questions, as if I was questioning his ability rather then me just trying to understand the whole process. After the retainer was spent and still had more work to do on a very simple case, I decided to represent myself.

I was impressed with Mr Usiak right from the beginning. He stated the pros and cons of the case, the percentage of the outcome and what all was involved in perusing my case.
He was insightful. knowledgeable and didn't talk down to me, or treat me as a run of the mill case.
I don't understand Bankruptcy and all the in and outs. My ex had filed a Chapter 13 to keep from paying the divorce settlement and Mr Usiak was very clear in his explanations, the law and what options I had, what the chances were for the options and possible outcomes.
It was great to have him on my side
Very warm and considerate.
I would highly recommend Mr Usiak

Daniel Usiak is very knowledgable, but he is very weak in the courtroom. If you have an amiable family law case, he would be ideal. But if you are in a high-conflict case, involving child custody and litigation, as I was, he is not the attorney for you. He actually did more damage to my case than good, and I lost my case because he failed on so many fronts during the hearings, including not entering exhibits into evidence and not preparing for our hearing adequately.

At the beginning of the divorce case there was minimum contact. When a deadline near there was more communication but was last minute. Once it came time for mediation the charges really increased and it felt as the information gathered in the 9 months prior was not retained. In the end I would have probably saved money by representing my self because the permanent orders we 99% my exes request.

There is no better firm, skilled attorneys, or group of professionals to trust when you find yourself in crises. We are specifically talking about Nathan Osborn (Attorney), Alyson Evett (Attorney), and their team (Bonnie Hakes Finance Coordinator), Connie Streich (Paralegal), Amanda Bielak (Assistant) at Montgomery Little & Soran, PC. From day one we felt protected, on the absolute worst days we felt unconditionally supported, and until the very successful end we were completely satisfied.

Julia refused to read the “narrative” statement she asked both parties to complete - which provides the case history and impact on the child. Her report to the mediator/arbitrator misquoted court documents that were provided, had dates that were wrong, and omitted key facts supporting her “reasoning.” The CFI did nothing to resolve court involvement, or improve outcomes for the child involved. I have written evidence supporting all claims made in this review.

Very biased! I wish I would’ve read other reviews before I hired Julia. I was told by my lawyer Julia favors a 50/50 schedule. She was also the more expensive option, over $3000. She only added one day to my every other weekend schedule. And all the lies my ex wife said to her, she took for truth, regardless of the police reports and text messages I provided. They weren’t even included in her final report. Very biased and very unprofessional, she hadn’t even opened the emails I sent to her til the follow up call just before the final report was due! Saddest part is my kids are the ones who suffer from her unprofessional behavior. Good luck to all you men out there fighting the good fight! Don’t give up!! And don’t go with Julia if you get the chance to pick your CFI like I did. $1675 in her pocket, while my kids go without their father.

Like other reviewers I wish I would have read her reviews before allowing her to be added to the list of CFI's that my lawyer's office suggested. Julia is a robot with no expression or thought given to the true well being of the child involved. I was told in court that she questioned my credibility as I had "too many" allegations against my son's father because I told the truth of a history of abuse, drug use and selling. It does not benefit to tell the truth about the other parent. I would have been much better off if I lied to her about what I was dealing with. She even asked him to pull his own police report about a domestic violence charge on his record rather than doing the research herself. When he claimed he couldn't get it she let him explain it away. We were able to obtain the report which spoke of him choking a woman unconscious. She also failed to speak to the girlfriend after me who also experienced domestic violence to the point that she was too afraid to speak in court. If you are a victim of domestic violence DO NOT USE this woman. You will be re-traumatized and be accused of making up allegations.
Despite the fact that his father averaged giving away 1 day month out of his 8 she noted that he did not give away a significant amount of time and failed to mention that he has never scheduled/taken my son to one doctor, eye, or dental appointment. My child's father also had a babysitter we knew nothing about and that she never mentioned to me in her "investigation', despite the fact that child care was to be mutually agreed upon.
Julia conducted two phone interviews for her "investigation" and took the word of my son's father's witnesses and left out information from my witnesses entirely in her report. My three year old will now be split between households 50/50 even though he has never been with his father that much in his life. She is a disgrace to her profession. DO NOT USE!

Attorney (I feel embarrassed even calling him that) Rechard Tegtmeier frequently made excuses and exhibited a lack of diligence in handling my case. Throughout the duration of my interactions with Tegtmeier, I found his behavior to be extremely inappropriate and disrespectful. I had to tell him to withdraw and had a different attorney represent me. He consistently came across as rude and displayed a clear disdain towards individuals of color, including myself. Despite my attempts to maintain professionalism and cooperation, I could sense an underlying prejudice in his demeanor towards me.
It became evident to me, and subsequently to others in similar situations, that his representation was marred by discrimination against minority groups. I have since learned that I am not the only individual who has felt marginalized and mistreated by Tegtmeier's actions.

I hired Paul Gordon to represent me in a legal malpractice suit. I found Paul to be ethical, kind, prompt, and exact. While we did not get the justice we sought due to a legal loophole, I would absolutely recommend Paul to anyone looking for an attorney who truly represents justice and his clients with passion. When having been so thoroughly deceived by my previous attorney, I was hesitant to ever trust a legal professional again. Paul Gordon renewed my trust in the profession and I am forever grateful for the time, energy, and fight he put forth in my case.

There have been plenty of times they out this year n two months where I would not get a response from anyone in the office.. I've called from my phone they didn't answer I call from a co workers phone and all of a sudden they answer. Plenty of times I could not get them in the phone calling 10 times I've showed up at the Office called the phone and listen to the phone ring from outside the door. I'd knock on the door and they answered surprised it was me .
I paid my retainer in February of 2018 and every month I was suppose to receive a statement of the transactions they for the month and it would state what they used money for and when. I NEVER RECEIVED A SINGLE ONE !
And now that my court case is closed I've contacted them several time to get the remaining balance of my account /how much money I have left ... It's been two months and haven't Hurd a thing from there office!
Extremely unprofessional in every aspect ! I do not recommend steer far away from these people .

Mrs. James saved me from an almost total disaster. I started with one attorney who could only say we will make it up at final and when I found Mrs. James, she had an uphill battle to straighten out what the first attorney did and then proceed to save me not only time but money. Thank you Mrs. James.

Jennifer B James was worthless in helping to assist me and my 2 children with a good outcome in the court system. If I could give negative stars then I would. It was made very clear to this lawyer that the other parent was currently using drugs and alcohol (she is the one that told me he had an upcoming date for his 3rd DUI), and that he did not have a suitable place for the children to stay while they were with him. It was documented that he was not using his time of 2 weekends a month prior to court, however, Jennifer thought it would be a grand idea to give him even more time than what he already had, even though I was trying to give him less time or supervised visits for the safety of my children. She also assured me that she would file the child support documents required for my children to receive an increased amount and I just got off the phone with child support registry and NOTHING was filed with them. My case was closed 6 months ago!!! More than enough time for her to file some papers. I have asked her and her husband (her paralegal) multiple times for my ending statement because I felt like I should have some of my retainer coming back to me and I am consistently blown off. Emails are not returned, and voicemails go unanswered. This whole experience has done nothing but hurt my children and put them both in harm's way. I only spent the money on a lawyer to help assure that I would have the best possible outcomes for my children, but instead I feel like I paid someone to assist an abusive alcoholic and hold his hand throughout the process and give him whatever he was asking for. I fully regret ever calling her office and I will be going back to court in the near future WITHOUT her terrible assistance.

Armando Aguilar did not respond timely to me or to my attorney, but he repeatedly threatened legal action if I didn't respond to his requests in a prompt and timely matter (which he made virtually impossible to do). He and his client hired a company to replace the shared sewer line in spite of our repeated requests to look at other, similarly priced companies with better online reviews. Armando missed several meetings with my lawyer, and then said that he had tried to call so that he could cover his tracks for missing the scheduled meeting. These missed meeting costs were then passed on to me, while the matter itself continued to go unresolved. Avoid him at all costs. He's sleazy. It's also strange that there are no online reviews of them. I'm guessing he'll try some kind of retribution for this review...

Taking a moment to reflect, I could not have been more fortunate to have found the guidence, professionalism and patience with Scott and his entire staff. Always helpful, kind and extremely valuable. He was hired by me from a recommendation from another friend and it was the best advice I was given in this entire process. Five Stars and Thank you Scott Baroway!

The judge listed to BOTH sides (unlike other magistrates we had). Took the time to carefully hear testimony and review evidence. Wish we could have had her on continuing cases

This person is definitely biased. She is a Magistrate with Adams County Court and she has dismissed a Motion ordered by another judge. She didn't even have time to read our 2 volume court file before making a decision. She definitely needs to find a different profession. Making working for the Mafia would be a better fit for her.

Agreed to the comment prior. This person is extremely biased and does not look at facts or witnesses.

It is such a shame to see a brand new mom being charged with a felony. She sleeps with her child on the first night home and instead of showing empathy, you charge her? Do you not think she is punishing herself every second for this accident? What is happening to this world? Anyone involved in this should really take a hard look at themselves. Shameful.

The district attorney refused to take a clear fraud case. A babysitter steals a check and writes herself a $1000 check forges a signature and the DA sees no clear case ??!?!!? That’s ridiculous. I’m no law expert but I think starting with forgery and larceny charges is a good place.

He is an absolutely awful attorney. He was totally unprepared for my arbitration hearing and did not represent me in any way. He barely knew the case. The only thing he knew is what I told him. He put no effort into understanding the case. I knew I was in trouble leading up to the hearing when we had our preparation phone call and he offered no strategy whatsoever. When I tried to press him on it he had no answers at all. All he did was introduce me at the beginning of the call and then left the rest up to me. At the end of the hearing when the arbitrator asked if we had a closing rebuttal he asked me if I had any. I couldn't believe he had NOTHING to offer. I had one shot at getting my record amended and I blew it on this clown. Stay far, far away from this guy. All he does is collect a pay day, and an expensive one at that.

When it comes to divorce law, Brian Luther is the worst attorney to hire. He does not know one thing about Colorado procedures or the law, he simply takes clients money and files frivolous, groundless, baseless motions he NEVER WINS

Don Goulart was my first lawyer. I was naive in my expectations. He warned us that we would have large legal bills, but in the end the only ones we ever had were defending ourselves against him. I used to laugh at bad lawyer jokes, now I still cringe.

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:
-
What experience do you have with mediation cases like mine?
Ensure the lawyer has relevant experience in handling similar disputes. -
How do you charge for your services?
Clarify the fee structure and request an estimate based on your specific case. -
What is the likelihood of resolving my case through mediation?
Seek an honest assessment of whether mediation is suitable for your situation. -
How long will the mediation process take?
Inquire about the expected timeline and number of sessions required. -
Will you personally handle my case?
Confirm who will manage your mediation and represent your interests. -
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.
