There's a Better Way to Handle This
If you’re facing a divorce or a business dispute, you already know how quickly things can escalate.
What starts as a disagreement can turn into months, or even years, of stress, expense, and uncertainty.
Court isn’t just time-consuming. It’s often overwhelming, expensive, and completely out of your control.
Mediation offers a different path.
- One that's calmer.
- More efficient.
- And designed to help you move forward. Not stay stuck in conflict.
Why Mediation
Most Disputes Don't Need a Courtroom
The traditional legal process often turns conflict into a battle. More time. More expense. More stress.
And in the end, decisions are often made by someone who doesn’t fully understand your situation.
Mediation focuses on resolution instead of escalation.
- No court appearances required
- No public filings during mediation
- No pressure to agree
- No unnecessary delays
This Is a Good Fit If:
- You want to resolve a dispute without going to court
- You are open to working toward a resolution
- You want to save time, money, and stress
- You need a process that works around your schedule

Legally informed mediation focused on resolution - not courtroom conflict.
As a licensed attorney in New York and New Jersey and a trained mediator, Howard brings legal knowledge and real-world dispute resolution experience into every mediation session while serving solely as a neutral mediator - not as an attorney representing either party.

The Process
A Clear Process From First Call to Final Agreement
If you've never experienced mediation before, it's completely normal to feel unsure about what to expect. Here's exactly how it works.
01
Complimentary Consultation
A no-obligation consultation, via video conference - typically 20 minutes, to understand your situation and confirm mediation is the right fit for you.
02
Preparation and Intake
You'll complete a brief confidential intake form so the Mediator can understand the key issues in advance and design sessions that use your time efficiently.
03
Mediation Sessions
Sessions are typically 60 - 90 minutes. The mediator helps both parties stay focused, work through key issues, and move toward practical, workable agreements.
04
Agreement and Next Steps
Upon resolution, a settlement agreement is prepared documenting all of the decisions reached by the parties.
