Attorney and Divorce Mediator in New York City:
Mediation Helping You Resolve Disputes and Preserve Relationships

What is Mediation?
Mediation is a private, voluntary, informal but structured process where the mediator assists the participants to resolve their dispute in a manner acceptable to all. The parties are more satisfied with the final agreement, because they created it, and are, therefore, more likely to comply with its terms.

If you are considering filing for divorce or are already a party to a matrimonial dispute, but you would like to resolve your differences while maintaining a positive, or at least civilized, relationship with your ex-spouse, you may want to consider divorce mediation as an alternative to the traditional divorce process. In fact, mediation should be your very first stop when deciding how to separate or divorce. Can you sit in the same room together and discuss property and parenting issues? Can you afford two lawyers and a protracted court case? Would you like to maintain an amicable relationship with your spouse after the divorce? In addition to reducing the emotional and financial costs of divorce, mediation can give you more control over the outcome, so that decisions about custody, support and property are not entrusted to a judge.

Likewise, if you are involved in a civil dispute, from a business matter to a landlord-tenant problem, from a partnership or employment issue to the breach of a contract, you may want to consider civil mediation as a way to minimize cost, maximize control and maintain relationships.

At the Law Firm and Mediation Practice of Alla Roytberg, P.C., we bring over 20 years of experience to individuals and businesses throughout New York City and the surrounding communities. We focus a significant part of our practice on alternative means of dispute resolution, including mediation. We have built and maintained our successful practice on a commitment to personal service and attention to detail. Contact us online to set up a free initial consultation.

In mediation, we act as a third party neutral, working with you and any other party to find cooperative ways to resolve your differences. We do not provide legal advice to either party, do not consider evidence or testimony, and do not render a decision for you. Instead, we help you work with the other parties to the mediation to find solutions that are satisfactory to everyone involved.

You may choose to be represented by a lawyer in mediation, but it is not required. If you reach agreement on the issues, we will prepare an agreement setting forth the terms, which will then become enforceable in a court of law. To learn more about Mediation click on the Mediation Brochure.
