Michael J. Elsberry has helped businesses and individuals settle their disputes without going to trial for over 25 years.
Under California law, mediation can be used as a form of alternative dispute resolution for certain cases. Mediation allows parties, individually or working with an attorney, to work with the opposing party to try to find a solution to your legal issue in a more private and cost-effective setting than going to trial. The mediator acts as an impartial third party, focused on helping both sides reach an agreement. We mediate many types of disputes, including:
- Contracts
- Medical Malpractice cases
- Healthcare matters
- Premises liability/slip & fall accidents
- Business disputes
- Personal injury cases
- Automobile accidents
Our goal is to help both sides reach a compromise on the issues they face. We guide parties in communicating effectively so they can reach an agreement that satisfies each side. Resolutions reached in mediation can be reduced to a writing that is enforceable in court.
In many cases, both parties are best served when they establish a cordial relationship. Through the structured process of mediation, you can set aside hostility and agree on key points. Mediation can be a highly effective tool for you to preserve the stability and well-being of family, employment, community, or business relationships while resolving your legal matter. Most importantly, the nature of the mediation process reduces the stress of legal conflicts and puts important decisions in your hands rather than in the hands of a judge or jury.
We provide mediation services for parties throughout California. If you seek an impartial third party to guide you through the process, call us at 714-627-5082 or contact us online to schedule a Free consultation at our Orange office.
