Our Mediators Meet the Requirements to Conduct Court-Ordered Mediation:
Quitman is one of five counties in Georgia’s Southern Judicial Circuit along with Thomasville in Thomas County, Moultrie in Colquit County, Valdosta in Lowndes County, and Statenville in Echols County. The Superior Courts in these counties require mediation in certain civil cases. In order to comply with this mandate, the parties much seek out a mediator who is “registered” with the Georgia Office of Dispute Resolution, and our mediators meet this requirement.
We Are Well Educated, Creative Problem-Solvers:
Each of our neutrals has been vetted based upon their education, their experience with mediation and arbitration, their real-world, practical experience, and their ability to solve problems creatively. Our neutrals have attended some of the finest colleges and universities in America including Yale University, Washington & Lee University, Rutgers University, Sewanee, and the University of Hawaii. Most are our neutrals licensed lawyers, but we also have a highly regarded Episcopal priest who has years of experience in conflict-resolution. We have entrepreneur and neutrals who have successfully operated businesses. Each has a unique background that help them help others. In addition, we all share a desire to help people solve their problems amicably by suggesting inventive alternative to the traditional court system.
We Want to Help Bring Justice to All at a Reasonable Cost:
The people in Quitman and Brooks County deserve better. Our Neutrals understand that traditional lawyers often costs more money than the value of the case, and they often put up stumbling blocks to delay the resolution or just to seem like they have a “win”. We don’t do that. The parties before us come first, and we fairly listen to all sides. In mediation, our goal is to bring consensus among the parties; in arbitration our goal is to render a fair and reasonable outcome. We do this economically and efficiently as we understand that unresolved problems and lengthy litigation exhaust the participants (and their checkbooks!)
Our Neutrals are Subject-Area Experts:
Many of clients have been surprised with the level of sophistication and professionalism from our neutrals. We have leaders in their fields. For example, Mike Ledyard is a world-class business mediator who has decades of experience handling billions of dollars in financing and was an author of the Delaware Statutory Trust Act and the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act. Mark Cobb has decades of experience with Georgia construction law having served on the legislative drafting committee for the 2020 revisions to Georgia’s lien laws; in addition, he has published and spoken on complex construction issues repeatedly. Similarly, Barry Selvidge has build a ground-up telecom business with a national footprint in addition to his decades of experience as an attorney and in-house counsel. These are just three small examples of the unique abilities that our mediators possess.
