Bankruptcy can be stressful and depressing, as well as complicated and expensive. I was overwhelmed because it included my business and my personal. Alisa is absolutely amazing on all levels. Her knowledge and professionalism got me through this. She also is very reasonably priced compared to most. Most of all is her sense of caring for what you are going through. I cannot reccomend her enough.

I was in need of a personal injury attorney, and came across attorney Michael Wak’s page…I am beyond glad I did! To begin, his assistant Susan is very pleasant and friendly. Attorney Waks is very direct and personable, and I appreciate him calling and checking in on me during the process. I am well pleased with my offer, and the experience I have had with this office. I pray I never have another accident, but if I do, I will 10/10 return and recommend him to anyone! Thank you !!!

Ms. Groza made our will and helped get our estate in order. We didn't know what to expect, and thought it would be an uncomfortable process. Yet, Dorothy walked us through all of our options and really made us feel at ease. Thank you!

Dorothy Groza went above and beyond to help my business partner and I with a legal dispute earlier this year. She genuinely cared about our business needs and about us as people. She made it clear that her first priority was to resolve the matter as quickly and cost effectively as possible. She helped up negotiate and settled the case much quicker than we expected. Overall, we were very satisfied with the outcome.

I thank God that Janine Frisco stepped into my life during the most stressful and upsetting divorce from my ex husband. She gave me a voice and represented me in the most professional, knowledgeable and proactive way. Janine never wavered in her ethical intentions of representing and standing up formy (and my children's) legal rights and protection. She has succeeded in each court hearing that my ex has drug me through and has done so with dignity and respect for what is fair and just. I know that I would not have made it through without her legal representation and feel that she has been a shield in protecting my rights in times that I felt helpless. And always with the best of intentions for myself and my children. Thank you Janine Frisco and your associates for being there for me!

I needed an attorney that would be able to see the gravity of the situation my daughter was in with her mother and Jeanine was that an more! She was able to understand what I needed and what I wanted from the child custody process and delivered the absolute best outcome! She is prepared and knowledgeable about the laws and how to navigate the court system. She was articulate and moved fast to avoid delayed hearings in order to do what was in the best interest of my child. Her presence and confidence are commanding and make you feel like you are taken care of. She is honest and trustworthy. I would recommend her to anyone that needs someone in their corner through such difficult times; I cannot thank her enough for everything she accomplished.

It pains me, just a lil, to have to write this review in this manner but the truth sets you free. I sent Chapman and his partner Friedman or Stark an email verbalizing how I felt about things pertaining to our case. Chapman acknowledged my email. His partner didn’t pay it any attention. Thus is the reason for my public reviews. Better a review than a bar complaint? I contacted Chapman in 2018. He took our case, over 20 people in an apt building, on contingency. If he knew there wasn’t a case. He would not have taken it. Any who, the only issues I have with Chapman is he and his firm not including us on decisions I felt he was required to include us in. From day one, he seemed hospitable. But his staff and other partner(s) not so much. I didn’t understand how he seemed to be considerate but SOME of his staff and partner or partners weren’t. Their attitudes made me think that Chapman’ demeanor could have been forced of insincere. But, due to him being consistent in how he spoke to me and responded to my inquiries, that is the only reason I believed he was not like his staff and partner(s). Even though there were things I know Chapman could have done better in representing us. I still would recommend him and not his partners or partner. Chapman is more personable and easy to talk to. While his partner tried to intimidate me indirectly and threatened me when I brought pertinent concerns to their attention. He wasn’t even thankful that I chose to address them and not the court or the bar association. Which I had and have ever legal ground to do so. My advise to Chapman is to go solo. My advice might be the last one you get to ditch working with individuals who don’t represent your character. Or do they?

My family and I had been living in an apartment with unhealthy living conditions for several years when we began to consult multiple attorneys. Mr. Chapman visited our apartment and examined the premises personally. He was patient, knowledgeable, experienced, and took the time to answer all of our questions. He is still fighting our case and we couldn’t be more grateful. This is an attorney we would highly recommend.

Nadine Orliczky is part of a capable and motivated family law firm. She is an excellent strategist who helped me navigate a potentially complex and difficult case. Whenever we met, I received her undivided attention, and I felt my family’s well-being consistently considered. The firm became the clean-up team for a divorce that had already gone bad. I wished I had met the team at BGD at the beginning.
It is noteworthy to share that the entire firm showed efficiency with my money which was exemplified by clear and ethical billing practices. Staff were knowledgeable, friendly, organized, and worked well as a team.

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.
