Mr. Bain reviewed an issue I had with a car I purchased and was very helpful. Even though he could not take the case he referred me to one on his colleagues for review. Thank you so much for one listening and two for taking the time to respond.

Today we had a court appointment for Oral Arguments at Surrogate Court. Our attorney Alison was excellent and totally prepared in presenting all the facts of our case to the judge and the court clerk. Though we will have to wait for the judges final decision, our family could not have wanted anyone else by our side today and during these last trying two years.

On a good day Guardianship can be confusing and challenging, especially for a new Guardian. You are constantly familiarizing yourself with new information pertaining to a wide array of topics that come along quickly and consistently. At times you require help and insight from those with more experience specific to the legal intricacies that you may suddenly be encountering. I am thankful that in the vast sea of attorneys to choose from, that I was referred to Alison Arden Besunder of Goetz Fitzpatrick to assist me and the Guardianship in addressing an appeal brought on unexpectedly. Appellate work appears: unique to your case, detail focused, time consuming and requires nuanced skill and approach in response and execution. Ms. Besunder and the members of her team understood the record at hand and responded professionally, with a tone that was very much welcome and tracking with my efforts and focus as Guardian. They were: kind to me, understanding of the situation, communicative, along with being clear in their directions and in the answering of my questions. Ms. Besunder's experience and knowledge along with the efforts and kindness of her team in dealing with this legal matter were welcome during this unexpected and challenging time. Ms. Besunder and Goetz Fitzpatrick have represented me as Guardian and responded to the appeal on my behalf- which I'm very thankful of their efforts. Highly recommended and much appreciated.

I had the pleasure of working with Kimberly during a difficult time in my life, and I couldn't be happier with the outcome. She handled my divorce with utmost professionalism and expertise. I was impressed by how she made complex legal matters easy to understand, ensuring that I was well-informed throughout the entire process.
Not only did she provide me with sound legal advice, but she also showed great empathy and understanding towards my situation. She helped me navigate the emotional challenges that accompanied my divorce, making the entire experience less overwhelming.
I truly believe that the results she achieved were fair and just, and I am grateful for her dedication and commitment to my case. Her expertise and ability to negotiate effectively were instrumental in reaching a favorable resolution.
I highly recommend Kimberly’s services to anyone in need of a divorce attorney. She is not only a skilled professional but also a compassionate and supportive advocate. If you are facing a difficult situation like divorce, I can confidently say that she will provide you with the guidance and support you need.

Kim Jinks provided me with excellent legal services over a 3 year period and counting. I went through an extremely high conflict divorce, which came with its fair share of emotional roller coasters making a straight-shooting lawyer absolutely necessary to keep me from falling off the deep end. This is the type of lawyer you see in the movies where you actually put your full trust in your lawyer, and it was absolutely worth it. I was in court at least eight times. Custody issues with multiple children, ex in-law drama, you name it. Kim made herself available to me for whatever I needed. I shopped around for lawyers (paying all of them a consultation fee) and it was very clear to me that I would have a good working relationship with the Jinks Law Firm. I watched my ex go through five lawyers while mine was highly intelligent, consistent, and persistent (my ex’s clearly were none of those things). She is 100% honest (brutally, sometimes) and I cannot imagine where my life would be right now had I not hired her at the start of my divorce. I landed on my feet and I truly attribute most of that to the investment I made in Kim. High-quality & high-class. I couldn’t be more grateful!

Funny the only 2 star review is from someone who received free services. Anyways, I used Roman for a complexed business sale which consisted of the sale of shares, conversions, promissory notes and many other obstacles. During the process Roman was knowledgeable, professional and informed me every step along the way. I never felt like I was being taken advantage of with time or money, it was a very positive experience.

I sought help from Mr. Whittaker when I was served with a civil lawsuit out of the blue. We met and I explained my situation and my side of the story. He was able to help me understand what the process would entail, managed my expectations, and was able to ease my mind. Through his interaction and communication with the other party's attorney, Mr. Whittaker was able to successfully negotiate my case quickly and for a fair and reasonable outcome. I would recommend Roman Whittaker without hesitation for personal or corporate matters.

From the very first call I made to Smith & Files Law, I knew I was in excellent hands. Kristen is thorough, knowledgeable, professional and deeply caring. She walked with me through the process of my divorce and advised me wisely. Unfortunately, my divorce had many twists and turns yet Kristen was steady and kept things moving forward. I always had the feeling she had my back and even post-divorce when I required her services again, she was an incredible source of support and went above and beyond to see that my case was handled properly. I would highly recommend Kristen if you are seeking a divorce or family lawyer. You will find yourself in extremely capable hands.

Kristen walked me through the entire legal process and gave me a timeline of events that would occur during my case. She was very detailed and did a wonderful job negotiating my needs during mediation. Coming into the process I had no rights of my child and really had no say. Now today I am more protected with the parenting plan that was put into place and I have been able to foster an amazing relationship with my child. I really appreciated all of her hard work and communication I felt very comfortable/protected with her representation.
Thank You Kristen!

If you are looking for one of thee BEST lawyers, look no further! Our case was not an easy one to say the least. Ms. Elliott took the time to go through mountains of paperwork before deciding if she could even help with our case. She is fair, honest, tedious, steadfast, strong and to the point! I can not say enough good things about her. I promise you will not be disappointed.

Diane was very professional and knowledgeable throughout the whole 9 month fight my ex put up. He hadn't seen my son in 10 years. My son wanted my husband to legally be his dad. She eased my stress and was honest throughout the whole process. She went to bat for us at every turn and frankly he never had a chance against her!! She fought hard to get us a great outcome and I cant thank her enough! I highly recommend her, she knows her stuff!!
Sincerely,
A very happy family

After being referred to this agency by the Florida Bar Lawyer Referral Agency I connected with Attorney Carpenter and he did a fantastic job at addressing my concerns and answering my questions regarding my case. I have yet to retain his services due to the circumstances of my case, but will happily do so considering that he was knowledgeable and confident in review of my case.
Additionally, I will add, his rates seem very fair.

I hired Paula through the advise of a family member. Let me just say this, if you are looking for the right person to handle your divorce, custody, and support issues effectively. Look no further, Paula and her team ( Matt ) will get the job done right for you with experience, knowledge, compassion, and trust. My now ex wife was so problematic and full of unnecessary bullying and threating tactics of litigation over a pin drop. I was emotionally exhausted and unsure of the unsettled waters that were on the horizon for me. I handed the reigns over to Paula and she delivered not only in silencing my ex wife, and negotiations with opposing council, but in the court room as well. She will fight for you're rights as an individual as well as what best for your children. Paula is the right Attorney to have in your corner.

I hired Paula at the beginning of my divorce and then found another attorney. I was not happy with her turn around time / ability to multi-task. She would tell me she needs a week to get back because she is busy with one case. Also I believe I could have avoided a Sapeena if she had submitted my pay stubs to OPC earlier.
The other aspect that did not work out for me is accuracy in communication, granted I am a bit of a detail-oriented control freak. I had provided specific text to change and she did not merge it, more than once.
At the time she worked for me (2017) her rates were the cheapest I had seen. The best part being the minimum billable is 1/10 of hour, not 2/10.
I have no doubt others may be satisfied with her services.

At first, before we hired Mr. Pastore, it seemed as if we had an ugly dispute that would never get resolved. Mr. Pastore's expertise, honesty, and intelligence lead to a settlement that neither party could turn down.

Mr. Pastore provides ongoing professional legal services to our business. Most recently he helped settle a sensative matter that had been lingering over our company for nearly a year. We find him to be professional, knowledgable, responsive, results oriented; always putting his client's interests first.
We highly recommend Nick and Campbell Warburton for your legal matters.

I reached out to Mr. Baer with a tricky family case. He handled it with understanding and legal expertise. His ability to address the case in it multiple levels allowed me to get a resolve without having to go through a hearing with another family member. He gave me the peace of mind when I needed it most. I am grateful for his services and clear ability to negotiate extremely Complicated matters.

While I had wish we met during different circumstances, I reached out to Mr. Baer when I was going through a civil battle. It was instantly apparent that from our first moments of communication that Mr. Baer was both well versed and qualified to represent me. Aside from his extensive experience with the legal system and various cases, Mr. Baer also has a very endearing way about him. Going through any legal ordeal is very taxing on an individual, but he walked with me through every step. If there is any future issue that arises, I would not hesitate to reach out to Mr. Baer as he is and forever will be my lawyer of choice.

Hiring appropriate counsel for family matters can be an extremely intimidating & daunting task. Last year, my husband & I were saddled with said task due to an inevitable court battle. This would be my first experience going to court and to say I was fearful would be an understatement. The unavoidable reality was that this court ruling could & would change the trajectory of my daughter’s and subsequently, my life.
My husband suggested we meet with the associates at Baer Romain & Ginty. So I set up an interview to see whether this firm was right for us. My initial conversation was with Jennifer Hulnick. She was a straight shooter, which I really appreciated. She told me the reality of the situation and not want I wanted to hear. She was also punctual, understanding, very informative and knowledgeable about the law. We had plans to move forward with her as our counsel but due to scheduling conflicts, Stephen Baer ultimately represented my husband & I in our upcoming court case.
I met Stephen the morning of our first court hearing. Although we didn’t have time to meet in person prior to this, he made sure I was ready for the proceedings via phone & email.
That first meeting marked the beginning of our client-attorney relationship that lasted several months. During this period, I found Stephen to be beyond thorough, courteous and attentive. He made sure I was fully prepared for all court matters, executed our paperwork thoroughly & without error, he was timely every time and helped me to understand every aspect of our case. Stephen was always available to me and rarely missed my calls but if he did, he would call me back that same day. Stephen’s attitude and his years as an experienced attorney helped give me confidence as I walked with my husband and daughter through unfamiliar territory. I knew my family was in good hands with Stephen as our attorney.
Our court case was settled quickly and we were granted everything we wanted and more. My satisfaction with this experience is beyond anything I could have imagined. I recall crying uncontrollably the day I had to make the call to Baer Romain & Ginty because I didn’t know what the future would hold. On the day of our ruling, I remember smiling so hard my cheeks hurt and taking a picture in Stephen’s office that is displayed proudly in our home.
I would choose this law office every time my family & I need counsel. They truly care and have the best interest of their clients at heart.

Rebecca Billick is a very competent and organized family law attorney. She maintains a very fair fee structure (seriously). She appropriately tailors her communication skills to the situation, from being diplomatic in a calm divorce settlement, to fighting like a mama bear in a contentious court hearing. She provides timely responses, cares about my situation (not a given these days), and works hard for a favorable outcome. Attorney Billick provides excellent advice, is very intelligent, and quick on her feet. Like a master chess player, she anticipates possible outcomes, and provides sounds recommendations on how to respond. I’ve recommended Rebecca to others, and will continue to do so.

Divorce is usually not an easy process to go through. My particular case was and is a difficult one. Rebecca helped me every step of the way and she continues to help me. During a particularly stressful situation involving my children, I called upon Rebecca to handle a crisis for me and she came through. She also isn't afraid to tell you when you're in the wrong. She works for you and will do what you ask, but sometimes a wake up call is necessary and she will let you know. She is also very knowledgeable and technologically savvy.

Martin Galbut is an outstanding lawyer. He is highly experienced and personable, and put me at ease as we navigated a trying, lengthy, and complex litigation case. His advice was candid, pertinent, and valuable. Throughout the process, Martin’s demeanor was pleasant and upbeat. He guided me through the complex details and educated me in ways of “the law” with success-oriented strategies.
His polished direction and leadership were superlative.
Mr. Galbut and his accomplished team were instrumental in winning this challenging case. Martin has earned my highest regard and anyone would greatly benefit by selecting the Galbut Beabeau firm to represent them. Very appreciative for everything!

Attorney Lynnore Seaton is truly incredible. She is not just in it for the money, she actually cares about her clients and their cases. After working with 4 other attorneys through the course of a few years, she is hands down the best! A few of the main characteristics I think of to describe her are compassionate, friendly, knowledgeable, professional, supportive, dedicated and will fight for your case giving her all. She is sensitive to your situation but will still tell you what you need to hear. Her focus is on resolving conflict, not instigating it. My husband and I couldn't be more appreciative of her and the time we spent with her. She always took the time to thoroughly explain everything to us in depth. Never made us feel rushed or like a bother. Always gave us knowledgeable and wise advice, personal and professional. Lynnore made us feel comfortable (as comfortable as can be given the circumstances), but still told us the best and worst case scenarios instead of promising outcomes or stating things as a matter of fact when truly you never know how things will go! Honestly, she makes you feel like a friend, not a client or a paycheck. Her response time was always great and always took the time to listen to your concerns. We can't thank her enough for everything she has done for us and HIGHLY recommend hiring Attorney Lynnore Seaton for your case! If we ever need an attorney again, we already know who to call!

My phone consultation with Lori A. Frio-Walker made the difference in winning my custody case. Her expertise with legal child matters was extremely efficient and very up to date. She was aware of the new adjustments to the law pertaining to my case. Her on the spot knowledge during a phone consult led to a positive resolution. I received the best legal advice I've ever had.

Hi, I can not say enough good things about Mrs Lori Ann Frio! She was very informative about where I stood in regards to my case; so that I had no unexpected expectations. I was aware of where I stood every step of the way. She was very confident. And legally savvy in and out of the court, which reassured me. I was kept informed of all legal actions/directives during this process. I was a little anxious upon entering the Nj court, but her assured manner help to quell any feelings of disaster. I can never thank Mrs Frio enough for coming through for me and my family during my time of need. I feel that my case was equitable and fair. Thanks again for being the best attorney in Philadelphia!

Stig helped me mediate a difficult divorce. I should say "helped us", since he showed complete impartiality, and only had the goal of an equitable settlement in mind. During the process, he frequently stated that we would know we were successful if neither of us walked away completely happy, and also that, despite feeling discouraged, everything really was going to be alright. I can say in hindsight that I was not completely happy with the result, and I'm guessing neither was my ex-wife (...thus proving his point that the settlement was equitable), but also that, a year and a half later, everything really is alright. I want to thank Stig greatly for getting us both through this difficult time, and I would heartily recommend him to anyone else requiring a truly professional mediator with a very big heart.

I highly recommend using Stig as a divorce mediator. If you have to get a divorce, a mediated divorce is much better than a court judged divorce - a trial divorce could easily cost another $30,000 and more in court/lawyer/testimony fees for each party.
I was in a very difficult and dragged on, over two years, divorce tangle. My Ex-husband abandoned his family. He simply took off one day without any discussions about the 28 year marriage. I was in shock while he hired a lawyer and tried to scam me to the terms he offered.
He missed many pre-trial hearings while his second lawyer trash talked, provoked, and prevented the formation of a out-of-trial divorce agreement. It was not until when my ex-husband has almost used up his $30,000 pre-paid lawyer fee, he was willing to try mediation.
Stig knew divorce laws very well, both my ex-husband and I trusted his assessments and judgments. He tried to be fair to both parties, and worked very professionally, diligently, and swiftly in creating and modifying the mediation documents. We had so many last minute disagreements, phone calls and emails, but Stig was willing to stay and work with us to iron out the differences. He treasured and highlighted any positive interactions we gave to each other during our mediation sessions. We finally came to a divorce agreement half an hour before our final pre-trial court time, after the three of us have finished a two-hour conference call while I was at the court house.
Now my divorce was final and I have been trying to recover. I really felt it was much less stressful and much economic to me to have a mediated divorce. This was like having a controlled landing, mediated divorce, over a crash landing, court judged divorce. I considered myself lucky to have a mediated divorce.
Do yourself a favor, appoint Stig to mediate for you. Stig moves "mountains" in divorce cases!

I was entangled in a long and drawn out post-divorce decree matter with my ex-husband for close to two years with a different law firm. I spent thousands of dollars and got nowhere. When it became clear to me that bleeding my retainer dry each month without actually doing any “real” work on my matter was intentional, I began my search for a different attorney. Thankfully, an internet search lead me to Amy McAuley. From the beginning, I could tell Amy was different from my prior attorney in a good way and I decided to hire her to take over my case. She was thorough, communicative when necessary (not to just increase billable hours,) and highly effective as we were able to settle the matter in a couple months. I felt confident in her skills, experience and knowledge especially regarding cases involving a guardian ad litem and reunification therapy. I highly recommend her and would not hesitated to hire her again. Thank you, Amy!

A friend recommended Todd because he can practice in both Michigan and Ohio, which met my needs. Throughout the years of working with Todd, I have found him to be good listener, very personable, effective communicator, and very thorough with details. When possible, Todd comes up with multiple ideas or options to take in dealing with my various legal concerns. In fact, he even stepped up to help in an area, so I did not have to hire another special lawyer. I have recommended Todd to both family and friends. For example, I had a friend looking for an attorney outside of Todd’s area of expertise. Using his connections, Todd was able to find her the lawyer that suited her needs. I not only think of Todd as a great lawyer but also a great friend.

I reached out to Mr. Venick for his counsel on a separation agreement and for advice regarding discriminatory treatment I had experienced from my direct manager.
Mr. Venick was out of town when I initially reached out and wouldn't be available until at least a week from my initial contact. As I was under a time constraint I was anxious to meet with him. I shared that with his staff who apparently made sure Mr. Venick was aware of this. Mr. Venick was very responsive upon his return and scheduled a meeting with me on his 2nd day back in the office.
During this 1st meeting, Mr. Venick took the time to ask me a lot of specific but thoughtful questions to help us move forward.
Throughout the process, he was very responsive as well as proc-active in reaching out to me to make sure I didn't miss any deadlines.
I would recommend(and already have) Mr Venick to anyone who needs assistance with employment/employer issues.

He was like the extended family member who helped me work through the emotional anger of my former workplace situation when newer, younger, and less experienced people became my direct supervisors. Once I was able to focus on the facts and document them as Mr. Venick recommended, I was able to make the appropriate decisions for me and my family. We did not go to the litigation phase, but I did receive what we both felt was a fair settlement offer. I highly recommend him and his firm.

I contacted Mr. Venick after I had been forced to retire from my Washington, DC-based organization. I needed assistance in negotiating a severance package and possibly taking further steps. He was terrific in helping me.
Ultimately this was not a situation requiring protracted legal back-and-forth or a lawsuit. Mr. Venick's advice was great. He did an excellent job of walking me through everything that happened.
The most impressive thing he did (in my opinion) was to ask me what I wanted the outcome to b and walk me through the pros and cons of all my options.
The outcome was minimalist. All of the negotiation with my former employer were taken care of by mail and phone. This was a huge relief. Trying to work all of this out in Washington, DC, and in Nashville would have been arduous, especially given that I had unexpected health issues in the middle of it. It was settled to me satisfaction.
All this is to say, that Mr. Venick was a terrific lawyer who encouraged modest measured steps to achieve what I wanted. Other lawyers mightjust have said see you all in court. I am grateful for his help.

Cory represented me through a very challenging and contentious divorce process. Throughout the process, Cory provided sound and compassionate guidance that helped greatly in coming to an equitable resolution. Cory always had the interest of our child front and center in her guidance and that was very clear to both parties. Cory has my highest possible recommendation for anyone seeking an attorney for family matters or beyond. .

I have had the distinct pleasure of being the recipient of Cory Goriup’s expert legal counsel since 2003.
In 1999, I ill advisedly completed divorce proceedings without seeking legal representation. As a result, I was legally bound to an unfavorable judgment that severely limited access to my then, five year old daughter.
After years of mounting frustration, I sought legal counsel to amend the original divorce settlement at Surovell, Isaacs, & Levy PLC where I was introduced to Cory. Cory took the necessary time to understand my circumstances and then, expertly renegotiated the conditions of my visitation and support. As a result, access to my daughter was expanded and greatly enhanced.
Last year, I had to call upon Cory again. As expected, her cordial and professional demeanor immediately restored civility and pragmatism into the process of navigating a mutually agreeable divorce settlement. The result was that the divorce proceedings and settlement were concluded expeditiously and to my benefit.
Lastly, having discovered that Cory and I were raised in the same rural part of Upstate New York, has made her as much a friend as a trusted confidante. For anyone seeking superb legal counsel, I wholeheartedly recommend Corp Goriup.

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.

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.
