Not every dispute has to end up in court before a Judge that may be in a foul mood. Court, lawyers and your time is expensive and can be emotionally painful, I know. Contact us today and learn why you should “Mediate with a solution.” In fact, contact me directly, I head up our mediation group and welcome your call and your case. My direct number is 310-283-3939.

It takes a certain set of skills and expertise to navigate this changing landscape. Why give the lawyers another pair of Gucci Loafers when you can settle your case in a few painless hours? Come sit in my office, that is a living room set up and relax while we deal with these serious issues together.

Have you been cancelled?

In this crazy world you might get cancelled or get involved in such an event. Or you might get drawn into some form of this “cancellation” without your or your company’s agreement or knowledge. It’s ugly.

You have a choice: 1) do nothing 2) sue and end up in a long-drawn-out litigation (e.g. Johnny Depp) or 3) mediation against or become part of the cancelling party with an agreement to settlement. The decision is yours.

If you have or are being accused of being involved in a “cancellation event” and if it looks like it will get very uncomfortable, as most do, try mediation. Robert Whyte is a specialist in this arena, a leader in this growing sector and will help both sides reach a settlement. The event will never go away, but at least a clean sleight will allow all to move forward.

What should you as the client know about your pricing?

We are not the cheapest, and as with most things in life you do get what you pay for. We are not the “$200 per hour” guys with no experience and quick solutions. We bring our life learned tests and real-life situations, experience, training, understanding and grey hair to every meeting to solve problems and heal feelings. This is NOT something you want too cheap out on!

Mediation cost is $4,200 for eight hours of mediation and case filings. If a case is settled in two hours, then, no money is refunded as a successful conclusion was attained in record time. For additional hours the rate is $525 per hour. A non-refundable deposit of $4,200 is due at the time of scheduling the first mediation conference meeting. All fees are paid in advance and no “discounts” are offered. Do you want discounted work? We do not think so and do not advise you seek a cheaper solution; we are already saving you and your other party thousands from a court appearance(s) and lawyers! Additional mediation time, if needed, is billed in hourly increments paid in advance. Most cases are settled, and paperwork is filed within the eight hours of work based on our experience.

Mediation consists of the following steps:

1) Pre-mediation Conference: in-take call or meeting in our Century City (Los Angeles) living room: Prior to the mediation, I shall reach out to both sides to explain the mediations process or meet with both or either party, assess the appropriateness of the case, and assist each client with video conferencing technologies so they are prepared for the mediation session. We must speak with both sides of the mediation.

2) Welcome and Introduction: At the start of the first mediation session, I will introduce both parties to the mediation process, discuss roles and responsibilities, and review the agreement to mediate. I will stress honesty, including all documents and suggest that keeping secrets will only lead to disagreement and additional conflict.

3) Statement of Every Problem: Each party will have uninterrupted time to share their side of the matter. The initiator of the complaint will speak first about the dispute and what they need to resolve for each issue. Once they finish, the other party (respondent) will have an opportunity to share their perspective of the matter(s).

4) Information Gathering: During the information gathering stage of mediation, each party along with myself will ask probing questions about the dispute to ensure that all the issues are clearly understood by all. This helps lead to a speedy resolution and less conflict.

5) Generating Options: Once all the issues are understood, I will facilitate problem solving of each identified issue. Sometimes during this stage of the process, the parties are placed into different areas of the sessions so that I can initiate confidential discussions to dive deeper into the issues and possible remedies. Again, no secrets, just open discussion.

6) Evaluate Options / Negotiate: After the parties have generated a list of possible solutions to resolve the dispute, I will help the parties evaluate the options and negotiate with each other to find a solution that meets the needs of both sides, we will talk about tax implications and family implications as needed. Should additional professionals be needed for tax or other planning I have a list of suggested people to refer to each case.

7) Agreement: When the parties are able to come to a satisfactory agreement, I shall help document the mediation agreement and as required, complete any necessary court documentation and filings.

I am passionate about mediation because it provides people with an affordable and effective method for resolving their disputes and moving forward. I have seen to many problems become unmanageable and try to circumvent misunderstandings.

Let’s talk about a divorce… better than dealing with lawyers and the courts.

We serve all of the United States, and globally from South America to Asia. We have been helping couples through their Divorce, Legal Separation or Annulment process as well as assisting on business issues for more than 30 years.

We also help extended families with Estate Conflict resolution and businesses both larger and smaller with partnership disputes.

WE ARE NOT an advocate for either party. We do not take sides and never make suggestions that have not been discussed. We do NOT make the decisions but help guide both parties through the process. We listen, use our training and experience to come to reasonable solutions and help each of the parties stay focused. We find solutions not new problems.
