About GCAAM
Many attorneys are concerned more about their fees or “winning” than they care about fairness and problem-solving. These attorneys cause frustration for clients who want to lower their costs, resolve their issues fairly, and want to reduce their stress. On these concepts, we began the Georgia Center for Arbitration and Mediation.
We offer a full-range of Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) services which offers a better way to resolve most legal disputes without the cost, stress, and time of going to court. Our services include mediation and arbitration services for business, construction, real estate, domestic and child custody issues–almost any field. But, we do a lot more too. We have two physical offices in Georgia, but we also offer state-of-the-art virtual mediation and arbitration services. So, it does not matter where you are located, we can help you save time, money, and stress.
In addition to our full-range of services, we also have a small claim’s process for those needing legal help at a predictable costs and expedited process for their smaller claims.

Our Impact
Mediators and arbitrators play a pivotal role in shaping the outcome of their clients’ matters, wielding a significant impact on the resolution process. Their influence extends far beyond traditional legal proceedings, offering a range of benefits that can profoundly affect the lives and businesses of those involved.
First and foremost, the impact lies in the ability of mediators and arbitrators to foster open communication. By creating an environment where parties feel heard and understood, these professionals pave the way for constructive dialogue. This, in turn, facilitates a more thorough exploration of issues, leading to resolutions that address the underlying interests and concerns of all parties involved.
Furthermore, the impact of mediators and arbitrators is evident in their capacity to guide parties towards mutually acceptable solutions. Unlike traditional litigation, which often results in “win-lose” scenarios, mediation and arbitration focus on finding common ground. This not only promotes a sense of fairness but also fosters a cooperative spirit that can endure beyond the resolution of the immediate matter.
Cost and time efficiency represent another significant impact of skilled mediators and arbitrators. By streamlining the dispute resolution process, these professionals help clients avoid the prolonged and costly nature of litigation. This financial and temporal relief can be particularly crucial for individuals and businesses seeking a swift and economical resolution to their legal matters.
Moreover, mediators and arbitrators contribute to preserving relationships and paving the way for future collaboration. The emphasis on finding amicable solutions ensures that parties part ways without harboring deep-seated animosities. This focus on relationship preservation can be particularly vital in business disputes, where ongoing collaboration may be essential as well in domestic issues where parties will have contact through their children and families.
Ultimately, the impact of mediators and arbitrators extends to the intangible realm of emotional and psychological well-being. By guiding clients through a process that emphasizes understanding, closure, and control over their destinies, these professionals empower individuals and entities to move forward with renewed confidence and a sense of resolution. The profound impact of mediators and arbitrators lies not only in resolving legal matters but in transforming the overall experience for their clients.
