State and Main's Mediation Services

Mediation, Conflict Management and Conflict Resolution

The State and Main Mediation practice has decades of experience facilitating, evaluating, and helping parties to resolve complex disputes. We work with clients to ensure a structured and safe process that is private and confidential. We help parties negotiate in an effective, thoughtful, and creative way so that the final agreements provide specific, fair, amicable and long-lasting solutions.

Pre-Marital Mediation

In response to the many requests we received, we were pleased to add this specialty to our suite of family mediation services. Engaged couples are learning the benefits of including mediation as an essential new component of marriage planning. By investing in the future of their relationship with open discussions of issues, they can ensure longevity and stability in a relationship. To learn more, click here to download a PDF.

Divorce & Marital Mediation

A key feature of State and Main Mediation's marital and divorce services is our ability to facilitate a process that allows parties to make their own decisions. Participants reach fair and amicable agreements based on the specifics of their own situation. Rather than assigning blame, we help our clients engage in a process that searches for solutions. This mediation process is safe, respectful and productive, and completely confidential. Our process can save thousands of dollars in legal fees when compared with attorney-negotiated settlements or protracted courtroom disputes.

Family Mediation

Our family mediation services provide a confidential process for resolving disputes or disagreements that may arise around issues such as custody of children, child support, parental visitation, spousal support, etc. This process provides parents with opportunities to make their own decisions and build their own solutions to best meet their children’s needs. Participants work together in a safe and supportive environment. A focus on understanding the needs and concerns of each of the parties involved reduces stress on couples, parents and, most importantly, the children. It can also save money and be a more timely process than alternative methods.

Workplace Mediation

Our confidential, voluntary process helps business clients arrive at decisions together. This process and the agreements reached often improve morale and teamwork, increase workplace productivity and profits, and retain valued personnel. Among the many topics we have helped resolve are issues of performance, corporate transition, employee or supervisor discipline, harassment complaints, compensation issues, accusations of discrimination and employee termination.

Business, Partnership and Management Conflict Resolution

We offer mediation and conflict resolution services that help corporate and partnership management teams resolve their differences and work together to produce agreements that result in effective long-term business management. By resolving internal disputes businesses not only save time and money, but can increase productivity and profitability.

Environmental Mediation

Our practice designs and conducts plans for our clients in the community, government, and private sector to resolve sensitive environmental concerns, encourage participation on the part of the public and other interested parties, and help articulate both concerns and ideas that create positive and dynamic solutions.

Court-ordered Mediation

Our services include helping parties within the context of court-ordered mediations. Typically, this process works within very specific and proscribed restrictions as to what aspects of a dispute are to be negotiated. Our experience in this area, combined with an in-depth knowledge of “how it works” within a courtroom setting, has helped many of our clients arrive at consensus while keeping in compliance with the legal mandates for the case.

Estate Mediation

As the current “baby boom” ages, conflicts arising out of estate issues are growing. Our practice focuses on creating a safe and confidential environment where parties can build effective communication, and begin to explore areas of understanding and concern that lead to sound and long-term agreements. For many, issues around family life are amongst the most volatile, and special care is taken to help guide everyone toward peaceful, amicable and fair resolutions.

Eldercare and Adult Guardianship Mediation

Along with estate-related issues, the powerful emotional and financial forces involved in elder care and adult guardianship often lead to breakdowns in communication and understanding that can lead to conflict amongst family members and others. We encourage parties to explore healthy and safe ways to open up conversations and acknowledge the difficulty in the circumstances for everyone involved. From there, we help clear up misunderstandings and encourage healing and communication so that the elders, family, concerned friends, and caregivers can develop a strategy going forward that will be in everyone’s best interests.
