Jennifer was not only very knowledgeable, but was truly interested in my situation and making sure I understood ALL the laws and choices that applied to my situation. Very caring and understanding.

After meeting with other attorneys about divorce and custody, I found Jennifer. I instantly felt comfortable and confident with my plan to leave an abusive situation with her help.
Over 4 years later, I remain absolutely thankful for her ongoing help and guidance. She enabled me find my voice when I thought I had none - and the confidence to stand up for myself and my child. She is consistently responsive whenever new situations arise. I consider her a partner and value her guidance and advice.

Jennifer was supportive during a non-traditional divorce. She would give me gentle nudges when difficult choices had to be made and reminded me that there truly is a light at the end. I knew I could count on her filing paperwork on time and contacting the right professionals. Quiet often after a tense situation, we would have a good laugh, then push forward. Thank you Jennifer

Leon provided concrete counsel throughout my divorce, leading with integrity, diplomacy, and competence. He explained complex issues thoroughly, allowing me to engage in the development of a marital settlement that represented my best interests. I highly recommend him as a trusted advisor with an established reputation in the legal community.

Mr. Berg represented me in my divorce and I couldn't be more satisfied with him. He is one of the most competent divorce attorneys in the state and conducts himself by the highest ethical standards. He is capable of fighting hard but wise enough to seek compromises rather than just generate a preposterous fee. I too am a lawyer and glad that I chose Mr. Berg to handle my case.

Prior to my case Mr. Berg managed to arrange the change of custody from a mother to a father of two daughters. In my case the custody of a son was changed from a mother to a father. In order to accomplish this Mr. Berg needed to have an understanding of every nuance of custody law and the ability to present a case in the same way that a salesman sells a product. Mr. Berg is a consummate player at both levels. At my request my former wife was not to be trashed in front of our son; we made the concession that she was an adequate and competent parent but that circumstances dictated that a change of custody would be in the best interest of the child. The circumstances that we argued against included that the mother was intending to leave the country permanently, that the living circumstances in her new home would provide no male authority figures, that the school calender would provide only about three weeks per year that the child could visit with his father, and that the mother would begin the move being unemployed. The alternative that was argued for was a father that had remarried and a family that the child already spent nearly half his time with each week and a step mother who was a clear asset to a good and secure home, with an American school calender which would provide about 11 weeks of visitation each year.

Melissa is a fantastic lawyer, as well as an amazingly kind person who truly cares about her clients. During a time in which I felt despondent and lost, she guided me, fought for me, and she inspired confidence in me, which allowed me to push through dark times to find the light at the end of the tunnel. Post-divorce, I am now doing very well! Thank you, Melissa, I appreciate you very much and I will never forget you. I highly recommend hiring Melissa as your lawyer! This woman truly cares about her clients and their wellbeing. She made my WHISH/WISH come true!

I was a young single mom arguing against a man with unlimited money. I was represented a couple times by welfare lawyers and it turned out real bad. I went straight to the Registrar of Probate and asked him to recommend to me the best probate lawyer he knew. He replied Melissa Whish. She's young but has enough degrees to be a judge, she's very smart, and the judges love her. I met with her and all I can tell you is that she mopped the floor with every attorney my ex could come up with. She was so good, my ex brother-in-law hired her for his own divorce a few years later!

When I first contacted the firm of Freed, Marcroft, I was really in a bad place emotionally. Both Kristen and Robin were 'present and empathic' right from the get-go. Kristen was also very realistic with me and encouraged me to try mediation if at all possible. I came through this difficult process feeling whole and respected knowing that Kristen and everyone at the firm 'had my back'.

Appoximately one year ago my wife of almost 27 years asked to end our marriage. A few days later we agree to get a divorce. A close business associate gave me a referral to the law firm of Freed/Marcroft in Hartford on Main Street. Our first meeting was in early August 2014 and our divorce proceedings ended just before Christmas of 2014 with the guidance of Lawyers Meghan Freed and Kristen Marcroft.
During a lengthy initial meeting between all parties they suggested we take a collaborative approach to completing our divorce. In this approach the attorneys help/guide the two parties involved to come to agreement on a couple dozen issues that will ultimately make up the divorce agreement that would be acceptable to the courts. They took a great deal of time to understand our years of marriage, and how each person fit into the marriage and how each person viewed the end of the marriage. At every meeting and with every phone call or email they would stress that every decision made would have to be very fair for each party. They constantly sought to educate on each topic, and remind each party of the attorney's role in this type of divorce process.
Kristen and Meghan handled the stickiest problems and contentious points with great expertise and finesse. They showed the utmost compassion and a caring attitude to both parties, which is surely not the case in most proceedings. By having two lawyers helping through the process, you get two distinct skillset and two checkers. That was most useful in overcoming some of the sticky situations that arise in the divorce process.
Kristen and Meghan move us through the entire process on a schedule they set up based upon our wishes and parameters. True to their word and nature they took us through that horrible day in court with compassion and understanding. They were able to interject themselves into the proceedings where many other of their contemporaries might not bother, which made our day easier.
Freed/Marcroft handled all our paperwork and filings under the watchful eye of Robin, the practice manager. Phone calls were returned within a sort of reasonable time, with emails and texts returned much quicker. I'm over fifty and still like voice. Email does seem to be the preferred method of communication. Kristen and Meghan were very upfront about how they get paid, what options for payment were available to us and ultimately what they felt would be the most cost efficient way to proceed.
Let me stress that the collaborative approach to divorce is not for everyone!! Kristen and Meghan will tell you as much right up front. If you want a team to help end a an important part of your life in a dignified way that is fair to all you should highly consider using Kristen Marcroft and Meghan Freed.

Michelle was a great mediator. She patiently managed a highly emotional and often irrational situation with grace and kindness. Even when anger and pain brought raised voices, her calm focus brought forth the desired result...agrement! Not an agreement that either party was completely happy with, but maybe that is the definition of a fair agreement. I would highly recommend Michelle as a mediator.

Ms. Kohn did an outstanding brokering a mediation agreement in my dissolution of marriage case. I arrived at her office thinking my case would drag out through the summer months, but instead I left her office three hours later with a very satisfactory, signed mediation agreement. I owe all of this to Ms. Kohn's professional competence and experience. I am forever grateful for her being able to break through what I was certain would be a laborious and lengthy impasse. In a word, Ms. Kohn is efficacious.

We recently worked with Devlin through the mediation process, and in doing so had a great experience with him. He was very courteous, knowledgeable, impartial, timely, and extremely meticulous with detail. This consequently ensured our full understanding of the process and that we had completed everything appropriately. We highly recommend Devlin as a great resource for mediation!

Devlin is a terrific mediation lawyer and professional who I regularly refer couples to for mediation and collaborative divorce. I run a center for couples therapy and his practice is our go-to referral for many reasons. He is super smart and many couples I have referred to him have remarked on his warmth, fairness and professionalism in tough situations. We are lucky to have a mediation professional of this caliber in our Valley. Also he is just a really nice guy, not intimidating but effective.

Angela was the "best" part of my divorce, besides getting divorced! She was professional, always explained everything to me and just nice to be around.

Angela got me through a rough divorce and was absolutely wonderful. She answered my calls, letters and emails promptly and her assistant Chris is the best.
I would highly recommend Angela if you're needing a hard working, knowledgeable lawyer who prides herself on honesty, integrity and high morals- She won't beat around the bush- she will give you her honest opinion along with being patient and understanding.
She doesn't stoop to sling mud or try destroy others reputations- she takes the high road. She's a class act and I can't say enough about her or Chris.
They handled me with kid gloves and I knew they were beside me the whole way. If I ever need a lawyer- Angela's the one.

I am very thankful to have Mr. Matisoff as my attorney. My divorce was challenging as it not only impacted us the adults, it also involved my son who was nine at the time. The first time I met him for my consultation, I knew he was the best attorney anyone could have. His focus was my son's best interest, which is the most important thing to me as a mother. He is very knowledgeable, experience attorney with integrity. The most important thing that is hard to come by for a lot of people, is that he CARES. I am forever grateful and thankful to have Mr. Matisoff as my attorney. With this tough experience in life, I gained hope from him that life would be good in the long run.

Look, divorce is not a pleasant thing to have to deal with, but the last thing you need is an attorney that you have to wonder about.
Upon my first meeting with Ed, I instantly knew I was in great hands. His knowledge of the legal system in California regarding divorce proceedings is exemplary, and he instilled confidence and peace of mind at a time when I really needed it.
The things that impressed me the most about Ed were his quick response to my seemingly endless questions and the fact that his pricing was extremely reasonable; this is not a guy who will try to gouge you or take advantage of your emotional state. To the contrary, his wise counsel was a source of relief and peace of mind, and he got everything squared away with a livable support agreement in what I consider to be record time.
I also consider him to be a true friend now.
If you need your situation handled efficiently and cost effectively, find his number and make that call right now. You'll be glad you did... :)

Mr. Matisoff agreed to take over my divorce case a few months ago. He sees discrepancies and knows what actions need to be taken immediately. At my first consultation, I told him I was looking for an attorney with integrity that would assist with a fair settlement for me and my kids in a high conflict divorce. I did not want to have to worry about questioning what I was being told or be left out of the conversation. He told me to meet with my then attorney first to see if a resolution could be found with the current support issue and try to get back on the same page with that attorney. I did as Mr. Matisoff suggested and realized I got more clarity from a brief phone conversation with Mr. Matisoff than I had in a 2 hour face-to-face with my then attorney. My experience with Mr. Matisoff thus far has been unlike that with my former attorneys. I received my monthly invoice today and I am shocked that his billing is more than reasonable. Had I started with Mr. Matisoff, my divorce would have been final long ago, less money would have been wasted and some peace might have been preserved. I don't know that mediation would have ever been possible with my spouse, but I don't think things would have dragged on or gotten out of control. Highly recommended.

During this exhausting, stressful time, Denise kept me at ease and helped me get through this process with her calm, experienced and professional approach.

7 years ago when I was getting divorced, I was lost, confused and quite frankly the most scared of the unknown that I have ever been. Denise Desmond was recommended by a friend who told me she would be able to help me out. Boy was he right!!! Denise was compassionate and very reassuring that everything was going to be ok and she helped put the fear of the unknown at ease. Thank you Denise for being there for me and my children during the hectic time in my life!

I was thankful for your wisdom and negotiating skill. The process was fair and your force of character was impeccable. It was this character and skill I needed and you came through. I would not hesitate to recommend you to anyone.
Much thanks,

Ann acted as the mediator in my divorce. She was very helpful in letting us both know what to expect from the process. She made sure we were aware of the options available to us while stopping short of providing advice which is appropriate and appreciated. When we had some specific questions about the tax consequences of certain decisions she referred us to an expert who was similarly helpful.

Ann was a great mediator for our divorce. She explained clearly and upfront the process. Helped us understand and figure out the separation of assets, leading us through every step of the calculations and paperwork. Her sliding pay scale made it affordable for us. With her guidance and assistance with the legal documents we were able to appear before the judge without issues or setbacks. Our divorce went through without a glitch.

Peter Fabish and his partner, John Hoelle, helped me through a tough time during my divorce, and also through a personal injury settlement. Peter listened deeply to my concerns during both legal matters and helped me get through them in the best way. My divorce issues came up quickly with not much lead time, yet I felt all matters were handled quickly and thoroughly. And although there was some acrimony from the other side, Peter and John did not inflame the situation and interacted with respect and professionalism. I feel Peter and and his partner were my guardian angels through a very difficult time.

My wife and I know Peter from some appellate work he did for us. I wish I would have met Peter a few years sooner. I have hired many attorneys in the past, and Peter has the highest level of integrity of any attorney I have ever hired. Peter also understands the human side of practicing law. For example, Peter was able to communicate with me that my legal case was mess without making me feel like a mess. Most attorneys do not have this skill. Aside from interpersonal skills, Peter's writing and research skills are excellent. We would hire him again.

Dawn is an amazing attorney who listens to your needs and doesn’t treat you like another dollar. Her clients always comes first (male or female). She handles your case swiftly at a reasonable price. She handled my daughter’s divorce and it was difficult because the other side refused to get an attorney himself and he also didn’t know the law and thought if he did nothing that nothing would happen. Needless to say my daughter won and she didn’t go broke to do it. Definitely want her as your family court attorney.

Anne represented me during my divorce. It was the most difficult time in my life and Anne treated me with absolute respect and compassion. Her ability to listen, her authenticity, and her knowledge of family law made me feel confident I made the right choice after the first appointment. Throughout the process, Anne's articulate manner, excellent communication skills and hard work gave me the peace of mind I needed to care for my three daughters, rather than focus on divorce proceedings. She exhibited excellent judgement skills and consistently anticipated the oppositions questions and was invariably prepared with responses. I consider Anne to be highly ethical and trustworthy, she has a warm, cheerful and engaging personality. By choosing Anne to represent you in your legal matters you are making the right decision.

There aren't enough good things that I can say about Catherine Anne Gacquin. She represented me in my divorce in 2009-2010. She held me up when I thought I would fall. She got me through the worst of the worst. She was kind and considerate, and she let me know exactly what I was entitled to in my divorce, and she fought for it, and she and I won. It's because of Anne that I can now stand on my own. She is a very strong woman, and I have much respect for her. The reason why I write this now, is because we still keep in touch for the holiday season. She's the best.

Anne is not only a competent and very capable lawyer, she actually gets involved in your case. She went above and beyond our expectations and worked with the families best interests in mind. Although it was a very painful and often drawn out experience, she did everything possible to mitigate the impact on the family. As the process continued to be drawn out, and cost more and more money, she even went as far as explaining to us how to represent ourselves (when appropriate) to reduce our legal fees.

Andrea Gundersen has been representing me for over 1 year now. I was fortunate enough to find her at the time that I did. She's literally been the biggest blessing , I like to call her a Miracle.
Andrea Gundersen has brought life and hope back to what seemed to be a very dark place at one point. She's been my family's lifeline.
As we all know, Family Law cases can be extremely sensitive and draining, and at times seem impossible to deal with. Andrea Gundersen has always made me feel secure and confident and very hopeful throughout this difficult process.
Andrea Gundersen has extensive knowledge in Family Law and has tons of experience. She is super sharp, aggressive and very intense. I could not ask for a better litigator. She is a SHARK in that courtroom. She has the degree of strength and capacity that this job demands. She is FIERCE!!! Her knowledge for the law speaks for itself. She always exceeds my expectations. I feel totally protected when she is sitting by my side representing me.
With that said, at the same time she manages to be one of the most compassionate and understanding persons I have been fortunate enough to encounter throughout my life.
Andrea Gundersen has a very unusual way of explaining the law, and its
process and procedures that makes it very easy to understand exactly what is happening.
She is very realistic, straight forward, and honest. She has never left me with a question or concern unanswered. She is overall a amazing person and the best Attorney in the entire UNIVERSE!!!
I write this review for Andrea Gundersen with great honor. Whomever chooses to be represented by her will have made the best decision of their lives. Andrea Gundersen is 100% reliable, responsible, diligent, caring, and EXTREMELY BRILLIANT!!! She fights for her clients like no-one else.
Thanks to all her hard work, and all her countless hours of nothing but pure brilliance and passion she puts into her cases ..I am able to sleep in peace at night knowing that I have the best representation possible. It does not get better than Andrea R Gundersen "Family Law".
Who Andrea Gundersen is and what she represents is priceless!!! I am and will always be truly grateful God put her in my path!!!

I am most honored to be writing this review for Andrea Gundersen. My case was extremely difficult and with my inital phone conversation, prior to even hiring her, she took the time to explain the law and provide insight on my options. She showed care and concern before meeting me and taking my case. Once hired, she immediately started working on the case and throughout her concern was always - the best interest of the child. She spoke to you(not at you) by explaining the law so that you can understand - each step of the way. She is an extremely intelligent and professional woman that cares about her clients. I highly recommend this attorney.

After going through two other attorneys in a divorce/custody case that started over a year and a half ago, Sally took over and put an end to the madness. She immediately took action and got the ball moving. She's very direct and honest, and will let you know what's realistic and what she feels the best course of action is (and why), but she ultimately leaves the decision up to you and doesn't encourage you to do anything you don't really want to do.
As soon as I met her and talked to her about my case, I could tell that she LOVES what she does. I felt so relieved knowing that my future was in her hands. She is easy to contact, very quick to respond, and unbelievably efficient. She's a pistol and doesn't put up with any BS from the opposing party.
Sally finalized my case quickly and maintained elegance and class while dealing with a less-than-savory opposing party/attorney. I can't even express how grateful I am for her service and I would highly recommend her to anybody going through the same thing.

I knew going in that my divorce and subsequent custody case was going to be messy so I wanted an attorney that was sharp enough to stick to the relevant facts of the case. Sally is upfront and tells it like it is whether you like it or not. She comes to trial prepared for anything a crazy ex can throw at you. This case needed an attorney that could think many steps ahead and she does just that. Peace of mind comes at a price but she has been worth every penny.

I met Attorney Susan Busby several years ago when I was going through
a difficult divorce. From the moment we met, Susan impressed me as
being an extremely efficient, knowledgeable, and caring attorney. She
became my divorce Co-Counsel and was able to provide gentle but firm
guidance and helped make this painful process more manageable.
Whenever I called upset and stressed, she was able to provide
valuable, practical advice that would calm me down. I especially
appreciated Susan's acute attention to detail while at the same time
being able to put things in a larger perspective. Most recently, in
the process of getting remarried, I asked Susan to draft a Prenuptial
Agreement and she, once again, approached the matter in a professional
yet sensitive manner so as to create a document that truly reflected
our particular needs. Susan impresses me as an overall organized,
knowledgeable professional who uses her experience and expertise to
help others.

Susan represented me in my divorce. Susan was professional and compassionate. Phone calls were returned promptly and all my questions were answered fully and knowledgeably. Susan cared about what happened to my children and myself and through her voice, I was heard in the court system. Susan worked tirelessly to make sure I received a fair settlement in my divorce. I have recommended Susan to many friends and aquaintences and I know that some have hired Susan as well. I will continue to recommend Susan to anyone I know that needs a divorce attorney. She's the best!!

Susan is not only very knowledgeable about the legalities of divorce, she is one of a kind in my book! She knows the laws and how they all applied to my case.
She always came out on top when we went to court. She was able to represent me in the utmost professional manner as well as what was best for myself and my children.
She also is very aware of the high emotions regarding separation, divorce and custody issues. She knows how to deal with the both parties that are involved, as well as the opposing lawyer!
No matter when I called her, I would receive a call back that day. I knew she would always have the answer to any of my questions.
She taught me how I could keep my perspective and stay balanced during these trying times. I now have incorporated these life skills into my daily life.
I feel that it has been a blessing having had Susan represent me in my divorce. My life has changed and only for the good.
She must be commended on her professionalism and her way of handling her clients. She is a great asset to the Legal Profession! There should be more lawyers like her!

My spouse and I consider Irma our guardian angel. We are a same sex couple and we hired Irma for her immigration services in June 2014 to see about getting my spouse his green card. We were very unsure of the process but we were impressed how well Irma explained the process. We liked working with Irma because she was thorough, well deatiled, and always accessible. I sent some evening emails and I would often receive a response the same night. It was a true comfort knowing that Irma was always in our corner fighting for us and watching over things during the process. The paperwork that was sent in was done right the first time and her hardship waiver that she prepared was perfectly written towards our situation. Finally, in February 2017, my partner had his immigrant visa interview in Ciudad Juarez and now we are just waiting for the green card in the mail. One other thing that we liked about Irma was that she was always so warm and welcoming every time that we came to the office. I will definitely be using Irma for the other services she offers.

About 2 years ago, we went to Irma for immigration assistance with my husband's case. She gave us a layout of what would or could happen. And she helped us through the end. My husband is now a legal permanent resident and it's all thanks to Irma. She is honest, caring and detailed. She goes above and beyond.

I would like to recommend lawyer Irma Perez Cordova to the public in need of help with criminal defense, immigration cases. I recently worked with her, she kept a good organized plan and was always on to of every court session with me. It was sure a long process because of many previous misdemeanor tickets I have had. Court days would arrive and my immigration documents would not arrive, or neither the procedure move on. Mrs. Cordova would always be there for me giving me advice keeping me with my head up. At every court session Mrs. Cordova would always be prepared and do a great job on speaking to the judge in all court sessions she would do great and be approved for extensions of time. After my last court session a couple weeks passed and finally I was given the news by that all the courts and tickets were cleared. My family and I were so happy and appreciated with all of Mrs. Cordova's hard work.
Personally I would say Mrs. Irma Perez Cordova overall did a great job my family and I are very appreciated for all her hard work and effort she put into everything and for all her time. She is a very well experienced lawyer that has great skills and knowledge I would definitely recommend her to friend's, family and the public.

I have had the great fortune and pleasure to have legal support and advice from Angela Peters for over 30 years in matters of family law as well as real estate.

In the end, that is what I want from my legal representative/advisor. Thank you, Angela. I sleep well and advance confidently knowing you are my legal eagle.

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.
