Whether you and your spouse are seeking an amicable divorce, you have a dispute with a contractor you’ve hired, or your business is dissolving, we’re ready to help you negotiate and reach a mutually beneficial agreement without the time and expense of a trial.

What Is Alternative Dispute Resolution?

New Jersey law defines mediation, also known as alternative dispute resolution, as an informal process conducted by a neutral third party designed to allow each party the opportunity to discuss their issues and reach a mutually acceptable agreement. The mediator must remain impartial and does not issue opinions or make decisions regarding the issues in conflict. Each party to the mediation must discuss and reach an agreement on their own under the management and moderation of the mediator.

At Lomurro Law, we have three attorneys, Richard Sevrin, William M. Schreiber and Bettina Munson, with extensive mediation and arbitration experience, in addition to Honorable Norman J. Peer and Honorable Barnett Hoffman, retired Superior Court Judges, and John Kaye, a former Monmouth County prosecutor. Almost any type of legal dispute is eligible for mediation. Our team has significant experience mediating disputes involving:

  • Family law conflicts such as divorce, child custody and support, alimony and division of assets
  • Collaborative law
  • Business associations, including dissolution and acquisitions and mergers
  • Construction contracts
  • Personal Injury, medical malpractice and product liability

What Are The Benefits Of Mediation?

Mediation is designed to provide the parties an open forum to discuss conflicts and reach a mutually satisfying resolution without the time and expense of multiple court hearings and a trial. By its very nature, it is meant to be a less adversarial process that fosters communication and cooperation. Taking a case to trial involves a significant amount of time and money, and must be undertaken according to the court’s schedule. Conversely, mediation may be conducted at both party’s earliest convenience. During mediation, each party has the right to be accompanied by an attorney. The details of mediation are also confidential, and neither the parties involved in the dispute nor the mediator is permitted to discuss what is said. If at the conclusion of mediation, the parties are unable to reach an agreement, the dispute may still be pursued in court.
