Advice, Mediation & Dispute Resolution

Disputes happen everyday, some are easily solved, some end up in World Wars

We all  know that disputes and conflicts arise. Some are easily resolved, some aren't, some should be, but for one reason or another, the parties cannot some to agreement. Very often it is the simplest of matters that can't be resolved. Many times the reasons are sound; one person has a valid point and is standing on principle or both parties may in fact be correct. These are tough situations to deal with and sometimes impossible to resolve without outside intervention. 

Even harder to deal with are situations when one person is spiteful, manipulative or simply too damn stubborn to find or agree to a resolution. In these types of circumstances, it is almost impossible to find a solution that is agreeable to both sides. Many times these matters can drag on for weeks, months and even years. This expends an awful lot of unnecessary energy, often causes a lot of hurt to many otherwise uninvolved people and in the worst cases can tear apart families, kids and lifelong relationships. In addition, the monetary costs can bankrupt those involved. These are life altering situations that can be avoided. 

Let me say that I am not a lawyer, nor am I legally trained in the laws regarding mediation or dispute resolution. What I AM, is very in tune with people, their needs, wants and determining what is fair for all those involved. Years of training and experience has fostered a keen sense of how to fairly mediate and resolve situations of all magnitudes. I will take the time to listen and fully understand both sides of any situation and only then can I recommend a course of action. 

I have successfully mediated and resolved hundreds of disputes. These would range from the simplest situation, such as; A child wants to go out till 3:00 AM and the parent wants curfew to be 11:00 PM, to much more complex business deals that might require months of investigation. 

The key to every successful resolution is that I take the time to understand everyone's reasons, beliefs, needs and opinions and only then do I make an unbiased recommendation that is solely based on getting each side as close to what they want as possible. Provided it is reasonable, moral, ethical and fair to both parties. Although each side may not get exactly what they wanted, my suggestions are usually fair, reasonable and palatable to everyone. It is this approach that has resulted in many satisfied clients.  

Mediation Pricing:
In a simple Mediation situation, you will be charged based on the amount of time it takes for me to garner enough information to render a recommendation in the dispute. You will send me a detailed email with your question and background information. For simple situations this will usually take about 15 to 45 minutes to analyze and discuss, but provided enough information initially, I could make a recommendation in less time in some situations. There are no forms to fill out, no surveys, nothing more. 

In more complex situations such as a contract negotiation or separation settlements; fees are based on hourly work or on a contract basis. Each case is priced individually and at an agreed on rate. Please contact me directly for more complex cases. 

Questions must be just that, clear and concise questions. "My daughter wants to stay out past midnight" is not enough information to even consider a reply or resolution. In this type of situation I would always recommend we get together via online chat or by phone with ALL parties involved being present. Immediately I would need to know age of the child, history of similar situations, where she was intending on going, etc. So you see it is difficult to solve a conflict with one simple statement. Dealing with complex situations or concerns really does require actual coaching and/or an open line of communication between us.

I am usually able to render a suggestion for the resolution and a complete explanation in under an hour for most simple (1 topic) conflicts between 2 parties. if you agree to let me help you resolve your dispute I will charge your credit card appropriately for the time used, but i will keep you informed as we move forward, as to how much time has been involved. You may at any point ask that we stop the process and you will not be charged for any further work.

Simple One Time Questions or Mediation:
It doesn't get any easier than this. I refer to this as the 'Ann Landers' or 'Dr. Joy Brown' approach. You ask a question and I send you a reply. No forms to fill out, no surveys, nothing more. This is recommended for simple questions or questions that are based more on our opinion or a simple suggestion. This option is also ideal for those who want to remain anonymous while still receiving coaching. This is not Life Coaching and is more of an advisory situation. 

In a Mediation situation, you will be charged as per the number of questions it takes for me to garner enough information to render a recommendation in the dispute. This is usually 4 or 5 questions, but provided enough information initially, I could make a recommendation after just one question. 

Questions must be just that, clear and concise questions. "How do I save my marriage" is obviously not a simple one time question. This type of question cannot be answered through this style of forum. Dealing with complex situations or concerns really does require actual coaching and an open line of communication between us.

Please note: While the Intake Questionnaire is NOT mandatory for 'Simple Questions' it is strongly suggested that you complete and submit this for to me so I can better understand who you are and how you think and react. This in turn will allow me to better answer your questions based on my increased knowledge of you.

Just to be clear, a 'one time' question, may include several communications between myself and you. 
These would be included in the cost of a ONE Time Question. I simply may want or require more information in order to properly reply and offer a more detailed and complete response. 

COST: $35.00 1 question 

  
3 PACKAGE COST: $99.00 for 3 questions 

5 PACKAGE COST: $149.00 for 5 questions 

PREMIUM 10 PACKAGE COST: $269.00 for 10 questions

Prepaid Question Packages do not expire and questions can be asked at any time, on any subject.
