Diane is far more than a great lawyer. I worked with Diane to finalize my divorce and was very pleased with the results. She is very good at explaining things to her clients and making sure they are aware of the all the options they have. She never left me wondering about anything and always answered my questions quickly even at nights and weekends. Diane also pays close attention to everything and leaves no room for errors. Her support and experience helped me finalize my divorce sooner than I expected and I actually got everything I asked for. During the period I worked with Diane she was very helpful and extremely friendly. I would definitely recommend Diane and her legal team to anyone. With her you can feel secure in knowing that your best interest is her top priority.

Matthew Fischer is knowledgeable, detail-oriented and personable. Matthew and Shayla are a great team to work with. Matthew and Shayla worked closely with me to navigate a unique and complex family law issue. My case required me to have 2 attorneys at the same time. Matthew and Shayla worked closely with the other attorney and they were collaborative and timely. They worked an extremely time-sensitive case with ease and confidence. The attributes they displayed help me to stay calm and focused. The office staff is friendly and welcoming.
They will continue to be my team in any future legal matters. I highly recommend Matthew Fischer.

I found Frank to be a very fair and impartial mediator. He is capable of seeing the case from different perspectives and helping each side assess the strength and weaknesses of their case to arrive at resolution that makes sense for everyone.

Frank has mediated a number of personal injury cases for me. He does a great job getting the most money for the plaintiffs that he can, while being honest with both sides about the pluses and minuses of their cases. Frank is always the top of my list of potential mediators.

Frank Hoover is a reliable and trustworthy attorney. He acted as a mediator for a car accident I was involved in. This mediation was extremely important to me because my injuries will be with me indefinitely and I wanted to be compensated accordingly.
I feel Frank Hoover is an excellent lawyer. He exemplified a non-biased opinion and reported to each side promptly and without persuasion. I initially worried I would not be happy with the outcome of the deposition and wanted to go to trial but was surprisingly satisfied with the job Frank Hoover did presenting my case to the opposition. He never showed he was impartial to one side rather neutral and fair-minded. I appreciated his dimeanor throughout the deposition because it represented his characteristics- strong qualities as an attorney.
I would recommend Frank Hoover to anyone needing legal representation. Knowing someone is honest and reliable is so important when you are trusting them with your personal and sensitive legal issues. Frank Hoover successfully allowed me to have closure to a legal battle lasting several years. I am forever grateful to Frank Hoover for being my voice when I could not speak for myself.

I strongly recommend Mic to any client needing skilled and effective litigation counsel. I have been both co-defense counsel and opposing counsel with Mic. I much prefer the former position, knowing that Mic will provide strong representation for his client, that will eventually benefit my client. Mic understands how to present a consise and targeted case, a very valuable litigation skill.

Zero stars. I don't know what makes him decide to do his job with clients but he definitely didn't do it with my wife and I.

Attorneys did not even ask about his will as my brother had it done to add myself as his beneficiary of any of his payouts from his benefits from his laborers union. Now have to go through another attorney to file for what should have been done through them . My brother passed away on the 21st of June, and recieved a letter to our mother, saying he was no longer representing him. Pretty cold, now I see he was just making a living off of my brother's disability for years. Now he just made it cut n dry he was done. What a racket. Lori Calvert

I contacted Mari Luna after my mother-in-law passed away. Family members were coming out of the woodwork demanding assets. It was a very stressful time. During our initial phone conversation with Mari she took time to listen and thoroughly understand our situation. She checked in with my father-in-law to confirm his wishes concerning the distribution of his assets. Mari has a very calming professional demeanor. She made suggestions and recommended a plan moving forward. Since my father-in-law is a paraplegic she went so far to offer to drive to his home to accommodate signing paperwork. I am glad we called Mari Luna and have felt that we were in very capable and caring hands with her as our advisor. I highly recommend this attorney.

We needed to divorce, but we also really needed to save money if possible. We wanted to do it ourselves, but the paperwork was just too overwhelming. It was hard to know where to start.
Mari gave us a free consultation and explained the divorce process to us. Then, we booked an appointment and got started. She worked with us to mediate a fair parenting plan that worked for us & our kids, determine reasonable child support, and then mediated with us to divide all of our property. We agreed to everything, and in the end, it seemed very fair to both of us.
We tried to fill out some of the forms; then, Mari reviewed them, made changes if needed, & completed them for us. She told us how to file the Petition at the courthouse ourselves and then appear for the Status Conference to give all the paperwork to the judge so he could approve everything and make our divorce final.
When we compared our experience with some of our friends, we were happy to report we finished our entire divorce for much, much less than any of our friends paid. Also, Mari kept emphasizing how important it was for our kids to know how much we both loved them and that they weren't responsible for our divorce in any way.
My husband and I were able to negotiate everything reasonably & still remain on cordial terms during the process. Now that some time has passed, it's easy to see how much this matters to our kids and us. All things considered, we're all doing really well!
My ex and I agree that hiring Mari to mediate the issues in our divorce was a great decision. Highly recommended!

I can not recommend a law firm more highly. Michael Grover and April Anderson helped me through what could have been a tricky divorce and property settlement with a grace, professionalism and strategic focus that I can not imagine many firms possess. The ability to consult between both family law, and real estate/property attorneys at the same firm was invaluable. The focus also was not just to take opposing parties to court but to try to mediate a solution. This is truly a law firm with a soul.

This is a very disrespectful law firm, they are very sloppy with their paperwork, emailing the wrong documents to the improper clients, poor response times, problems with payment, and their staff (sierra is the problem employee I spoke with) is grossly incompetent. If you’re looking for a helpful law firm LOOK ELSEWHERE

Dewey Cheatem and Howe…
Worst law firm in the country not just the state. Convinced me to accept a deal (for significantly less than they had originally advised I settle for and well below their “do not accept less than” prep talk) in mediation assuring me I would not be billed further and opposing attorney would handle all closing paperwork. Hen billed me again saying he didn’t do it right, then when I objected and reminded them of what was said, they doubled the bill and sent it again. ANYONE BUT THIS LAW FIRM, I was warned about them but unfortunately was too far in to back out and hire someone else. Any time I confronted them about anything they just threaten to withdraw and keep your money.

I was told he was the best in Spokane, in my opinion he and his associates are the worst. I paid him tens of thousands of dollars and received very little in the way of competent representation. I was promised that he would personally ensure my case would be a priority after one of his associates left the practice and a new one took over my case and I believed him. That was huge mistake on my part, I feel like he will tell you anything to get your money.

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.
