What to Expect

   Addressing your dispute with Simon Mediation is surprisingly simple:

• First, schedule a free 15 minute conversation to talk about any unique aspects of your situation.
• Next, based on that conversation, either suggest Simon Mediation to the other party, or arrange for your Simon mediator to reach out to them.
• Your Simon mediator will work with you on scheduling, either at one of our locations or by video conference.
• Your first meeting may be one-on-one with your mediator or it may include the other party, depending on what you decide.
• Next a meeting of 2 or 3 hours will be scheduled with you and the other party.  In that meeting you’ll be welcome to say what you want to say to the other party, ask what you want to ask them, and explore possible solutions. Your mediator will help make sure you get what you need out of the conversation.
• In some cases, you may choose to have a follow-up meeting later to confirm that the decisions made in the earlier meeting had the desired effects.
• If you have a legal case pending, your mediator can coach you on how to finalize those details, maybe with the help of your lawyer, if you have one.
