At Zacks & Freedman, P.C., we continually strive for excellence in every aspect of our practice. We work with each client on an individual basis to design a tailored legal strategy. Our goal is to achieve results for our clients in the most cost-effective and efficient way possible.
While our firm has earned a strong reputation for the acumen of its high-profile cases and litigation practice, we also take great pride in our track record of success in resolving matters through Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR), including Mediation and Arbitration.
Senior Attorney and Shareholder Andrew M. Zacks has, over the years, successfully represented clients in mediation proceedings as an advocate and mediator as part of the Superior Court/Bar Association of San Francisco Early Settlement Program (ESP) in resolving legal disputes in a wide variety of cases.
What is Mediation?
Mediation is a private, voluntary, informal, and confidential process in which an impartial person (Mediator) helps individuals or entities in conflict resolve and settle their differences and disputes. With the help of the Mediator, the parties work together to communicate with each other and to find mutually agreeable solutions to their issues. The mediator does not decide who is right or wrong and does not impose a settlement. The mediator’s role is to provide a safe environment and to facilitate a dialogue that will help the parties develop solutions to their particular situation.
In essence, Mediation empowers the parties to retain control of the critical decisions that will affect their interests and offer solutions.
The meetings are held privately, and all discussions are confidential to the extent allowed by the law. The details of the situation and the outcome of the mediation are not reported to any other party, unless this is desired and agreed upon by both participants.
What Type of Disputes Can Be Mediated?
Some of the cases that can be mediated include, but are not limited to:
- Contract Disputes: Sales & Leases
- Landlord-Tenant Issues
- Home Owner Association (HOA) Issues
- Co-Owner Disputes
- Neighbor Disputes
- Easement and Property Border Disputes
