Ensnarled in a dispute? Want to avoid Court and Litigation? Mediation may be right for you.

Mediation supports people in resolving their own disputes with the help of a mediator. This process often results in substantially less expense than the cost of fighting things out in Court. Mediation remains a private process as compared to the public-record nature of litigation. It also remains as one of the best processes for maintaining mutual dignity and respect.

Since 1988, accord. mediator Brian Shoemaker has helped parties resolve their disputes through mediation. Although he has been a licensed lawyer since 1991, and has litigated hundreds of cases in federal and state courts, he also has the experience and a long commitment to assisting parties find ways to work out their disputes without the unnecessary contention and costs often associated with litigation.
