Stacy has over a decade of experience with multiple competing party claims/pre-suit matters and understands the importance of their intricacies.
Today's mediations are typically conducted via web conferencing. However, there are a variety of reasons why an in-person mediation may be more effective for your specific needs. Please feel free to contact Stacy directly at Stacy@yateslf.com to arrange in-person mediations.
