Atty.Shelemey was awesome. Not only is she intelligent but also caring and considerate. We had an uphill battle on this one. Yet atty.shelemey gave us great advice and was very diligent throughout this whole process. And might I say we won our case and we couldn't be happier. She also revised my will in no time all through this case...we could not have asked for better representation. Thank you Lea...

We have a blended family. We consulted with Attorney Lea Shelemey about parenting time issues. Her response was thoughtful, and considerate of our family’s needs. We had been through the traditional litigation model and despite our best efforts, the other party continued to be non-compliant in nearly every respect, and (more distressing) randomly withdrawing court-ordered parenting visits/time. Our experience with other attorneys was good, but going back to court did not seem go get us where we had hoped to be. Thanks to Lea’s guidance, we tried mediation, and that really helped. We have now made progress with the other party and have discovered a more satisfactory method for resolving our disputes. We continue to use mediation when we need to work through issues. Although Lea is a trained litigator, we appreciate her skill as a peacemaker (especially since I am a psychologist). I will definitely be going back to Ms. Shelemey when we need further guidance. Sincerely, Dr. J.

Ms. Turner did an outstanding job with our case. She is always well prepared, knowledgeable and professional. She handles our complex corporate structure effortlessly providing all involved persons with case analysis relevant to their position or line of service. The defense was aggressive but insightful to our overall corporate goals in the litigation. She and her support staff were accessible and communicated well at every step in the process. Having worked with a many attorneys I find Ms. Turner's legal analysis extremely comprehensive and reliable. Finally, Ms. Turner is absolutely impressive in the courtroom. I would recommend her very highly to anyone seeking expert medical malpractice defense!

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

I met Dale when he and his colleague Joe Della-Rodolfa had represented me in some federal & state matters.
He is one of the best - point blank... I have been to many offices and been in several claims/cases - his team was by far the BEST out of every other encounter..
He is honest, he will listen to you, he will fight for you, and he will have no reservations whatsoever in speaking his mind to stand up for what's right. He is a very honorable person and he has no issues with being firm and aggressive in his stance while fighting for you! A++ and a 20 out of 10 in my view.. I`ll follow him and Joe for life - they will be the main two I call for any future matters if within their practice areas for sure!

At the beginning of this year I was granted a divorce by default. In the divorce there was a question of paternity, hence the reason for a default judgment because my ex wife refused to respond or acknowledge that she received the documents. We tried to serve her several times at multiple addresses but to no avail. A few months later I received child support papers in the mail and realized why she didn't respond and that was because my divorce attorney did not specify the child was not mine. I panicked and went to child support enforcement and explained what was going on and was recommended to retain an attorney. I went to a few different consultations. Finally I consulted with Laura's legal team and it felt like someone was actually listening to me.
Laura began working on my case immediately and was able to correct my former attorney's mistake and mistakes I made along the way. Laura took the time to properly represent me in the administrative hearing. The case was dismissed. Prior to this experience I didn't think an attorney like her existed. Most only listen to the dollars they will be taking from you and don't care about the impact it will have on your life. Thank you Laura for your help, expertise attention to detail and for caring about the outcome of the case.

Laura Fishman guided me through the Case Management Program at Landerholm Law. She was extremely helpful in preparing me to argue my own case. She was very patient and very helpful regarding the many emails I sent her. Her responses were usually prompt. She was essential in keeping me on track so that I did not miss anything in the court process. Laura's help with organizing my questions for court and how to present them made the difference in court. I won my case, thanks in no small part Laura Fishman.
If I have need of a family law attorney again, I know who I will call first. Thank you.

Laura was friendly and understanding, but more important she listened to my concerns. She was thorough and detailed when it came to handling all my paperwork with my modification. If I had questions, she would come up with an answer and help me work out a plan to accomplish what I wanted. I'm very happy with the help that she provided.

Brian was incredibly helpful in assisting with a potential legal matter regarding my sons rental housing lease at Clemson.
I reached out for a consultation regarding some concerns over the language in the lease and on a separate addendum my son signed.
He was attentive to detail, quick to respond to me with answers and help to put my worries to ease regarding this rental agreement.
I would highly recommend him for any questions or concerns over landlord/tenant issues.
I will be using him again in the future.

Mr. Bevon assisted us with a difficult eviction/appeal case that required many months to complete. Throughout the entire legal process, he was always available to answer questions after his regular business hours and briefed us on any changes that occurred with the case. I highly recommend him as an experienced and reliable Attorney in the area of landlord or tenant disputes. Mr. Bevon exceeded our expectations, and we consider him not just an Attorney but a friend.

Barbara Stroud is my attorney and she represented me during my divorce. She is highly professional, tough, knowledgeable and dependable. Divorce is a very scary and overwhelming experience, especially if you don’t know what to do or how to start the process. I needed someone looking out for me and my children's best interests. Barbara Stroud and her team have been there for me since the beginning, step by step during two mediations, the hearing and even after my divorce answering each one of my questions either via email, phone, in person or zoom.
Having the right person to guide you is very important. I always felt cared for and protected.
If you are looking for a lawyer who really cares about her clients and family, Mrs. Stroud is that person.

Barbara was on my original divorce case in 2012 and has recently represented me on a enforcement issue around child support. She really knows her stuff and does not give false hope about the situation. However, she is also very kind, compassionate and really cares about what happens with the kids in these situations. My case on it's face looked very straightforward but it turned out to be very difficult and time consuming. She stuck with me through 3 difficult mediations and always had her eye on the final outcome. She was always focused on the long term picture and was very good at keeping me from getting stuck in the small stuff. I would highly recommend her as an attorney and a mediator. I would certainly hire her again!!

There's a myth as one searches for a great family lawyer that in order to get results, you have to hire a bad *** - who will treat your former spouse (and probably you) like dirt, but it will be worth it because you will get results. Joe is proof that you can work with a fantastic, caring human being and still get the tough negotiation skills needed to get the results you desire.
As a former lawyer myself (JD, LLM), I can affirm that his knowledge of family law is thorough & detailed.
If I had to do it all over again (hopefully never), I would select Joe every time. He made a troubled time bearable and saw that I got the things that were most important to me during my divorce & custody battle.

Joe was recommended to me by a Defense Attorney whom I trust and respect as "the one I would go to if it was my Divorce." Joe 'literally' does Family Law , as both his Son and Daughter followed him into his profession and are the second and third Attorneys in the Milner Law Firm. As Bob Bowman, a Mediator, put it: "I couldn't think of a better recommendation than to have your own kids want to work for you!" Joe was attentive, concerned, and supportative, and more importantly, was perceptive as to the attack plan of the opposing Counsel and how to counteract it. He also was able to uncover deceptions and expose false statements made by my Ex during deposition. We ended up settling our case,and although we did not go to trial, I was able to walk away with the things that mattered most to me and he helped me engineer a plan to cut the chains that had been laid out to bind me financially to her for the next 6 years. If you are the "good guy" in a Divorce, you can't do better than Joe.

I have had the pleasure of being a client of Gavin's as he helped me with three home purchases/sales. Starting in 2005, again in 2014, and now in 2020, I have called on Gavin to represent me in FSBO home transactions (two purchases and one sale). Each time, Gavin has been fantastic to work with. He's respectful, responsive, timely, accessible, very easy to work with, and offers excellent counsel and guidance. I would absolutely call on Gavin for legal needs in the future. I recommend him very highly!

I have retained Gavin twice in the past. The first time was a number of years ago and again about a year ago. My experiences with Gavin were excellent. He goes above and beyond for his clients. In both of my cases he was able to make " miracles happen" with his knowledge and ability. I would recommend Gavin to anyone and would retain him as my attorney again in a heartbeat. Gavin is top notch.

Kent and I first met when our daughters were playing AYSO soccer. He was/is approachable, engaging, intelligent, and someone you trust almost immediately. For me the measure of a man is how he interacts with his family and Kent sets the bar for all of us. Later when I had a sensitive legal issue, Kent was the first person I called. He was extraordinarily professional yet understanding on a personal level. He seemed to never forget we were husbands and fathers first and foremost. Later Kent advised my wife on some IP matters and again, he was thorough and profoundly human. In this day when professional services providers are so transactional, Kent remains the one setting the bar for competence and compassion. My family and I trust him in all matters from the legally complex to the personally sensitive.

I have known Rand Hoch for over 16 years. I have used him as a Private Mediator when I handled defense cases for 3 years and claimant's cases for the past 13 years. He always does a great job explaining the law to the claimants. He is a former Judge of Compensation Claims so he has extensive experience with trials. He relates well with claimants. He works hard and will stay late if necessary to help the parties reach a resolution. I highly recommend Rand Hoch as a Mediator.

Ms. Feldman took the time to meet with me and discuss every aspect of my case. When she realized she couldn't help me with all of the legal problems I came to her for, she then utilized her time to find another lawyer for me. Although the other lawyer could have handled everything, I left the cases she could do with her, and I am so glad I did. She is an excellent and ethical attorney. I will go to her first for any future issues.

I have worked on multiple projects with Nina related mostly to corporate contracts and contract renewals. I consistently found her to be responsive and very instrumental in helping to close many of my deals. She does a great job with the client and I never hesitated to bring her into a conversation with my customer and their counsel. What I think makes Nina unique is that she was very easy to work with and could simplify the most complex of legal issues so customers and even myself could understand. I recommend Nina and have the utmost confidence that she would benefit any case she is given.

Rose-Anne was the arbitrator for a very, very bitter divorce with other issues to be dealt with on the side to further complicate the problems. As the Realtor trying to get the home sold, Rose-Anne navigated the numerous hurdles necessary to accomplish that goal. I could not have ever been able to reach a closing without her. She was fair to both parties but able to make the necessary digficult decisions when needed.

After tremendous equivocation about what direction to take regarding the dissolution of my marriage, Rose-anne brilliantly advised and guided me seamlessly through what could have been a treacherous process.

Rose-anne helped me 10 years ago with creating an initial parenting plan for my daughter, then again a couple weeks ago to re-negotiate through her turning 19. She is incredibly talented at helping negotiate and is very straight forward and direct. I find it amazing how she can remain totally neutral through all the negativity. She cuts straight to what you want to accomplish with your time and helps you both get there. Though my ex and I don't see eye to eye at ALL, she helped us complete a second parenting plan and we should be set for the remainder of her upbringing. Truly grateful for her gift and ability to endure those sessions! Rose-anne is outstanding and I would highly recommend her services, worth every penny! :-)

I’m a 36-year-old software engineer living in the Midwest. Most of my early life I never had good credit. 3 months ago my credit scores were 580 low 600s. I was obviously not happy with those scores so I started to clean up my credit. Opened 2 secured cards; Discover IT for 200; Navy Federal secured for 250. Did the pledge loan as well; self-account, stellar fi, boom for renting reporting, cap one only a 300 limit. Asking a family member to become an AU on their BOA still nothing changed instead my credit score kept dropping. Thanks PINNACLE CREDIT SPECIALIST after reading so many reviews about them. When I got in touch with PINNACLE CREDIT SPECIALIST my story changed for the better. He helped me delete all negative items on my credit report within 6 days. My current score now is 806 TransUnion 811 Experian and 802 Equifax. Here is his contact info:

I was very impressed with both Mr. Rudolph's depth of knowledge as well as his professionalism and kindness. This was quite a convoluted mess of a case, one with several outside hearings going on at the same time, sometimes interfering with the matter at hand, but once Mr. Rudolph took the time to research the validity of my concerns, he never wavered in his confidence and trust in me. He figuratively then literally stood by my side as my advocate the entire time, most impressively during mediation where I tended to get a bit heated. This case is just now coming to a close (1yr, 7 months since filing) with my desired results. The charged party used delay tactics in order to have me give up. Mr. Rudolph dealt with each delay in a calm manner, letting them know his client (me) would not back down, and finally resulting in a satisfactory settlement agreement. I recommend him without reservation.

We were helping our motherwith getting an unwanted person out of her home. We called several lawyers and none would even give us the time of day. Finally we talked to Ms. Osta. She could tell we were at our end as to what to do and how to do it. She made us feel good about where we were and that we could finish this and win. She was on top of our case and fighting for our mothers rights. We are grateful for all she did for us. She is a wonderful lawyer and knows her job well. We would highly recommend her to anyone.

Amazing results!! I am so thankful for the team of Shelly Jean John and Stephen John and their excellent partnership as they managed my case to end the alimony payments to the ex-spouse. Stephen’s paralegal writing was excellent as he created the Request for Order for my case and took the time to ask me the detailed questions needed to present the facts needed by the courts. Shelly’s partnership with me was appreciated, her team’s timely communications kept me up to date as the case progressed through the courts, and the judge for my case worked well with Shelly also-always a plus! After 7 long years of paying alimony Shelly’s team was able to get it reduced to half the original amount for 1 more year and then ZERO after that. I’m done, no more alimony payments!! I recommend Shelly’s team because of the amazing results!!

I was referred to Jerry after being blindsided with divorce papers. After my consultation, I was immediately impressed by his demeanor, expertise and personality. Jerry is a very experienced attorney and negotiated extremely hard on my behalf. He gave me peace of mind when dealing with child custody, alimony and asset division of my complex case. During a very stressful time, Jerry was extremely supportive, patient and has a compassionate group which significantly helped during the process. He inspired confidence and I knew that I had a strong advocate. He knows how to get positive results through negotiation but he can also deliver if you need to go to court. He fought for me every step of the way. I have the upmost confidence and respect for Jerry and would highly recommend him to anyone who needs the best divorce attorney.

Meredith provided limited assistance representation for our guardianship case. She reviewed our documents thoroughly before providing thoughtful and knowledgeable guidance. We had spoken to several attorneys before deciding on Meredith's expertise. We found that her extensive understanding of the family court system helped us to be prepared for an uncertain outcome for our grandchildren.
We have recommended Meredith since we used her services. We would also use Meredith again if need be.

A divorce is something that nobody wants to experience but sometimes it is the only way out of a bad situation. Driven by emotions and stress, unrealistic expectations of all parties can lengthen the divorce and harm everybody.
Kristen Robinson explained the process in detail and led me with her experience through this process fast and efficiently and kept my expectations realistic.
I’m very thankful that she answered all my questions at any time, for her moral support and help during my divorce and her support in the months after it.
Thank you, Kristen,

Kristen was amazing during my multi-state court battle. She jumped into it with extremely short notice (1 week). She crossed all the t's and dotted all the i's. She made sure that I was ok for the long run, and that wording wouldn't be a factor in the future. I am truly grateful to her. I highly recommend her to anyone needing an attorney.

Ms. Robinson handled my divorce with integrity and professionalism. She was responsive to questions and explained everything in a clear, knowledgeable, and timely manner. Ms. Robinson was very helpful in anticipating challenges through the process and working hard to resolve issues. Her experience and advice made a very difficult journey better than it would have been with a less conscientious attorney. I would fully recommend Ms. Robinson.

Jamie has been fantastic from the moment she took over my case from the other attorney till the settlement. My goal was to receive accurate legal advice, negotiate with my husband and settle without going into hearing and spending a fortune. Jamie helped to do that with high professionalism, integrity. The actual negotiations took 5 months. That included putting together smart child care schedule as well as settling with finances for both sides. If you are looking to find a balanced solution with your former spouse and save yourself tons of energy and health resources, Jamie would be the ideal legal thought partner to lead your case. Highly recommend Jamie.

From the moment that Jamie Cicerelle took over my custody case she was on top of it. It seemed to me that she was always a step ahead. She was receptive to my objectives and she advocated on my behalf.
Throughout the process she kept my son's best interest at heart at all times. When communicating and reaching out to her, she was receptive, reasonable, pleasant, calm and always got back to me in a timely manner which alleviated my worries as going through this difficult process.
At the end the outcome was positive and I got way more in my favor than I expected. I believed it was thanks to Jamie's strategy and how well she managed the case.
I feel blessed that I had her as my lawyer!

Jamie set all my worries at ease. She previously handled my divorce and was very helpful, once again, when I needed her services for a second time. She handles herself in a professional manner at all times and her response/turnaround is quick. I feel she was always available in a timely manner and I highly recommend her and the law firm she represents.

Working with Diana was a gift from God. I knew my divorce was going to be messy - our break-up was disastrous - but Diana was fabulous at mitigating the items and dividing it up so that we were both happy. Or perhaps satisfied is a better word - nothing about divorce is happy. Anyway, she was amazing. She knew just the right things to say and kept both of us in our chairs the whole process, which is quite a feat, I assure you. She has a very calming effect. I enjoyed working with her and she's good at what she does. Definitely the kind of woman you want on your side.

I appreciated how when my husband of 23 years and I were getting divorced, we didn't need to go through the courts and were able to settle our divorce without either of us paying a small fortune to lawyers and the courts to get everything straightened out.
I liked that they were there to help us reach a fair and reasonable settlement and that we didn't need to be at the coruthouse every week to get things settled. It was refreshing to be able to speak my mind about some of the things that I was looking for and I like that they stress peace in the process rather than what than taking everything a piece at a time. It's a more holistic approach to divorce that allows for some emotional healing along the way.
Though this is my second divorce, I wouldn't have aproached it any other way. Courts are too draining and being able to negotiate a fair divorce and settlement with mediation was a very good choice for us.

Diana's dedication to her work and sense of humour made what was the darkest hour of my life slightly more bearable. The folks at Peace Talks could scarcely be more friendly and helpful. When I had questions or concerns they were handled promptly and in a professional manner.
Except for..You know, the whole divorce thing I couldn't be happier!

We were introduced to Conlon & McGlynn by our friend/realtor. From the start, Louise and Karin were very helpful, very straightforward, and honest in their opinions and recommendations. We utilized their service as closing attorney on a short sale property we put an offer in for. The whole journey took over 6 months. Couldn’t have made it 6 1/2 months through this whole journey without their guidance and expertise in the matter. They helped two people buy a seemingly impossible house! We appreciate everything that the office had done to help push through the legal and red tape bureaucracy. All in all, their flexibility, patience, professionalism, and persistence was unmatched! Thanks for everything!

Divorce is never easy and it wasn't for me, nor my family. I worked closely with Louise through the actual proceedings, and subsequently through a number of post-judgments. At all times, she and her associates displayed amazing patience, empathy, understanding and professionalism for all parties concerned. I whole-heartedly recommend Louise and her firm to anyone facing this life-changing circumstance. Should someone approaching this point in her/his life want to talk about my experience with Louise and her associates, am perfectly willing to connect with whomever.

Conlon & McGlynn is an amazing practice. Louise McGlynn was everything I was looking for in an attorney. She was forceful yet extremely professional; knowledgeable, resourceful and at the same time, was very empathetic to me and my situation. This helped make a very difficult time more much more tolerable. I have already recommended her to others and will continue to do so. I could not have asked for a better firm to represent me.

I highly recommend Jagar Family Law. Chelsea was very responsive and listened to all my concerns. She didn't push for litigation and was a successful advocate for me in settlement discussions. She helped me close this chapter of my life and months later, I'm still convinced this was the right decision. Couldn't have gotten here without her competent advice. She's fair, realistic and doesn't play games with opposing counsel.

I can’t say enough positive things about Chelsea. I was the party of a nasty divorce with a narcissist; which is the worst divorce to encounter. After having two previous attorneys that wanted to play games, I hired Chelsea to complete remaining items. She was thorough and direct on completing the issues and knows the law better than any other. I also compliment her on her integrity and class, both in and out of the courtroom. She has a positive reputation with judges. I am also available for talking via the phone if you have more detailed questions in choosing an attorney as choosing the wrong attorney could be very costly.

Chelsea is knowledgeable and competent, and she has an excellent attitude. Her reasoned approach to my divorce made a big difference. In one of the more difficult moments for me, Chelsea was able to keep me focused - which is no easy matter. I am very grateful that I was able to work with Chelsea. Highly recommend.

Kelly helped me with two very diverse legal situations that were both successful. I want to add that these legal matters that I needed assistance with were in North Carolina. She took great care in educating herself in what was needed for my legal paperwork but more importantly she provided the emotional support and encouragement which is reflection of her character and integrity. For that I will always be grateful and would advise anyone that needs the same style legal counsel to hire her.

Kelly was effective at staying focused on moving our situation forward productively, even when my ex-husband and his attorney goaded us instead of collaborated to sort out issues having to do with the well-being of my daughters. I appreciate her steadfast commitment to integrity and would hire her again.

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.
