The traditional system of dispute resolution is adversarial by nature. Mediation is not; communication is encouraged and helps reduce the stress associated with claims. Mediation conference rooms are specifically designed to enhance comfort and create a conductive environment. To this end we happily provide convenient parking, refreshments and other amenities daily.

In general, Mediation and Arbitration is extremely cost effective over traditional court costs. Our rates are competitive as we do not set a session minimum and in the non-adversarial spirit of mediation, we realize that scheduling problems can happen and do not charge a cancellation fee. Our fees start at $325.00 an hour but a daily rate can be arranged.
