In contrast to the Superior Court Mandatory Settlement Conference process where time with the temporary judge is sometimes short, a private settlement conference with Weber Dispute Resolution allows the parties more time. Clients are never rushed. Mediation confidentiality ensures that personal information is kept private. Lawyers will always have opportunity to thoroughly advise their clients before making decisions.  

Additionally, a private settlement conference allows parties to short-circuit the typical acrimony and expense accompanying litigation.

What’s more, experience shows that client satisfaction with counsel increases if the parties can reach a mediated agreement.  You know how taxing and bitter the courtroom can be.  We can help you settle your case quickly so that you don’t need a trial.  Even if you don’t settle all issues, a settlement conference can narrow the issues significantly, which can be the difference between a short cause and a long cause trial.  

Let us help you settle the cases that CAN settle, so that you can focus your time preparing for the trials that WON’T settle.

More Than Just a Neutral Settlement Judge

A private settlement conference with our lead mediator, Shawn Weber, is more than just a simple neutral case evaluation with a settlement judge.  From the moment you arrive at the neutral ground of our office, you will notice that things are different here.  From the kindness of our greeting to the peaceful and calming atmosphere in our conference rooms, we provide parties and their advocates with a feeling of refuge from the storm of their legal disputes.

While Shawn is an experienced family law specialist with years of litigation experience, he also brings his massive dispute resolution skills to help settle your case.  Advocates appreciate the “thirty-thousand-foot view” Shawn brings to the negotiation.  Although his litigation experience enables him to provide neutral case evaluation when there is impasse, Shawn has the rare skill to intuitively find pathways for settlement and to bridge gaps between parties when the emotions run high. Because he always puts the human element first, parties appreciate Shawn’s compassion and empathic gifts that bring a sense of calm, resolve and hope that is hard to find with other neutrals.

Dolphins Instead of Sharks

We get it that legal disputes often invoke fear and worry.  Because conflict can be emotionally charged and tough to address, we coach you on how to navigate the constantly changing currents of the law. Applying our Dolphin Lawyering philosophy, we take a holistic approach to mediation and analogize the lawyer to a dolphin instead of the more popular stereotype of a shark.
