Mediation

Mediation & Alternative Dispute Resolution

Glenn Russell provides mediation services, with the end-goal of the parties reaching a voluntary and mutually acceptable settlement. All work remains Confidential, except where required by law. A Judge or Jury will never know as much as you do about your own situation. The parties have more control over the process, cost and outcome, saving time, money and stress.

More and more people are going to mediators before going to the courtroom.

Alternative Dispute Resolution or ADR includes mediation and is one of the fastest growing areas for use to resolve conflicts. The parties will have the opportunity to create their own agreement.

Mediations are private and the results are not part of the public record. Mediation can be scheduled within days of the initial telephone consultation. Mediation fees and costs are a fraction of attorney fees and court costs.

The process is informal, relaxed and less adversarial as compared to litigation and trial.

Mediation: Saves Time, Money And Stress.

Neutral Professional Assistance in Drafting Agreements

Sometimes in a business deal the parties wish to save on professional fees by utilizing a single neutral professional who can move the process along by helping the parties negotiate and arrive at a mutually beneficial agreement. At Resolved Glenn facilitates the parties’ discussion of the issues in question and prepares the business or corporate agreements and other documents to be executed by the parties.

Mediation of Business and Civil Disputes

Oftentimes parties in an agreement will waive the right to trial or there will be contract language specifying that all disputes must be resolved outside of court through an alternative dispute resolution (ADR).

At Resolved Glenn is qualified to mediate cases, whether the mediation occurs pre-suit, or at some point during the litigation process prior to trial, either upon order of the court or agreement of the parties.

IS MEDIATION EXPENSIVE?

NO! When you consider all the costs associated with a lawsuit, mediation is a bargain. The parties are free of all the costs associated with a trial, and as a bonus- you get certainty….

Remember, trials are unpredictable. No one can guess what a jury (or even a judge) may decide. Mediators’ fees are almost always split between the parties; you’ll know the fee your mediator will charge prior to the mediation.
