Pre-Mediation Meeting: You will meet with your mediator to design a mediation process specific to your needs. We discuss your situation, identify what needs to be resolved, and outline how to prepare for a productive session. A Pre-Mediation Meeting is held separately with each party via phone or Zoom.

Exchange of documents and information: Each party shares relevant documents and information before the mediation, ensuring everyone has the clarity and details needed to reach an informed agreement.

Mediation Sessions: The parties meet with the mediator to work through key issues. The mediator guides the conversation as you collaborate to create agreements that fit your needs.

The number of mediation sessions depends on the number and complexity of issues to be resolved. Divorce cases with one or two children, few assets, and minimal conflict are often resolved in three to four sessions, each lasting two to three hours. Business disputes can usually be resolved in a single half-day or full-day mediation session. More complex situations may take additional time.

Sessions generally occur remotely and can be scheduled during the day, evening, or weekends to fit your schedule. As agreements are reached, the mediator prepares a Memorandum of Understanding reflecting the terms of the agreement. We encourage parties to discuss proposals and agreements with consulting counsel, though it is not required.

Settlement Agreement: Once you agree on all issues, your mediator prepares a Settlement Agreement capturing the terms of the agreements you decided on together.

Finalizing and Signing the Agreement: Each person receives a copy of the Settlement Agreement and any supporting documents. Parties are encouraged to discuss their agreement with consulting counsel before signing.

​Mediation is a collaborative process where we work with parties outside of the courtroom
to create binding agreements to fit their objectives.
