Mediation & Settlement Services

Both Steven Neuner and Joanne Ventura are mediators with years of experience and extensive training. Both serve on the mediation panel for the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of New Jersey. Joanne serves the Superior Court of New Jersey as a family law mediator and Steven serves that court as a civil mediator and foreclosure mediator.

 

Mediators help parties to a dispute communicate with each other and reach fair settlements.

 

Mediation may be a worthwhile alternative for many. See our article “Why Mediate?” With the help of a skilled mediator, parties are able to reach a common understanding of each others’ concerns and reach a voluntary agreement that best meets their needs.

 

A skilled mediator can often help the parties break through the problems that prevent them from reaching a fair and mutually beneficial settlement of their dispute.

Family dispute Settlement

We know that disputes and arguments between family members are some of the most painful and difficult to endure. The causes can be as varied as a divorce, or fights over inheritances or children, or arguments about the care of a parent.

Whatever the source of the issues, lawsuits in these cases are especially ugly and painful. In the court setting, where someone must “win” and someone “lose”, there can really be no victor. Instead, victory can come at the cost of destroyed family relationships, turmoil and pain for years and generations to come.

How much better would it be to try mediation, where, with the help of a skilled and trained professional, you work towards your own understanding and an agreement that works for all of you. In no other arena is it so very important and sometimes so difficult for family members to reach agreement with each other and a common solution.
