Types of Cases

 Almost any case can be successfully mediated. The key to the settlement is the desire of the parties, not the strength of the case in legal terms.

 Here is a brief listing of the types of cases being successfully mediated:

Ø     Dissolution, including custody, parenting plans, asset and debt division, and all phases of child rearing.

Ø     Small claims cases

Ø     Landlord / Tenant disputes

Ø     Neighborhood disputes

Ø     Merchant / consumer problems

Ø     Contractor disputes

Ø     Bankruptcy

Ø     Real estate

Ø     “Lemon Law” claims

Ø     Workplace problems

Ø     Board of Directors conflicts

Ø     Corporate conflict

Ø     Crime victim / Offender cases

Ø     Restitution

Ø     Lawsuits

Ø     Organizational conflicts

Ø     School disputes

Ø     Government agencies / client problems

Ø     Employment issues

 

The list could go on for several pages.
