Our goal | Our goal is to provide fair, effective, and affordable mediation services to individuals and businesses in San Francisco and the North Bay. We focus on ways to help the parties understand the issues at the heart of their dispute and identify pathways to compromise and agreement.
Whether you are dealing with a complex, multi-party matter or a modest neighbor dispute, we emphasize finding practical solutions that will work for all involved parties. If you are represented by counsel or your case is already in litigation, your attorney can advise you as to whether or when mediation would be beneficial in resolving the dispute.
Examples of the types of cases we can assist with include:
- Personal injury and property damage claims
- Medical malpractice claims
- Insurance and subrogation claims
- Construction defect and warranty issues
- Employer/employee and workplace disputes
- Wills, trusts, and probate issues
- Real estate matters, including disclosure issues and broker/agent disputes
- Neighbor disputes
Mediation services are provided on an hourly basis, with billing rates dependent upon the subject matter and complexity of the dispute, and the number of parties involved. Rates and terms are always reviewed and agreed with the parties before work is commenced.
For qualifying individuals, we participate in the Modest Means Mediation Program sponsored by the Marin County Bar Association. Please see their website at www.marinbar.org for more information on this program and how to qualify.
Mediation sessions are usually conducted in San Rafael or San Francisco. Follow up sessions may be conducted via conference call or video conference, as appropriate. Scheduling is flexible, and every effort is made to accommodate the parties’ needs. Evening and weekend sessions can be scheduled if necessary.
