Testimonials

What clients say

★★★★★
“We were heading for court. The mediator was calm, patient, didn't take sides. We walked out with a parenting plan we could both live with — three years later we're still using it. Saved us a small fortune in lawyers and a lot of grief.”

★★★★★
“Two senior team members stopped speaking. We had a single-session mediation booked within a week, both walked out the same morning with a clear path back. Whole episode cost less than a single day of management time would have.”

★★★★★
“Partnership dispute that had cost us 18 months of legal fees and zero progress. Connect Mediation got us in the same room for a structured day, and we settled. The mediator handled the emotion as much as the contract — that's what made the difference.”

FAQ

Common questions

What does mediation cost? +
Single-session family mediation starts at $480 per party. Workplace and commercial mediation is quoted by complexity — typically $1,800-$4,500 split between parties. Costs always agreed in writing before we start.
Will the other party agree to come? +
We make a confidential intake call to the other party once you engage us. About 80% of the time, when the call is framed correctly, the other party agrees to attend.
Is mediation legally binding? +
A mediated agreement becomes binding when both parties sign it as a Heads of Agreement. For family matters, agreements can be filed with the Court as Consent Orders, which makes them enforceable.
How long does a session take? +
Most single-session mediations are 3-4 hours. Multi-session matters typically run 2-3 sessions over 4-6 weeks. We move at the pace the parties can handle.
Do you do online mediation? +
Yes — Zoom-based with breakout rooms for shuttle mediation. About 60% of our work is now online, often with parties in different states or countries.
