Evidence Before Anything Else
The numbers that matter
before the call.
We earn your trust through outcomes, not promises. Every figure below is drawn from closed cases, verified records, and real clients.
Settlement Rate
Agreements reached. Cases closed.
What this means for you:
Across all practice areas — family, commercial, employment, and real estate — 94 of every 100 matters referred to Resolve reach a signed agreement before any court filing is necessary. For a divorcing couple, that means their children never hear the word "trial." For a dissolving partnership, it means the asset split is done before the fiscal quarter closes.
Cost Reduction
Versus full litigation spend.
What this means for you:
The median matter handled through Resolve costs 73% less than the same dispute carried through to a court verdict — accounting for attorney fees, expert witnesses, court costs, and executive time. For a mid-size business, that difference routinely runs six figures. The savings fund operations, not depositions.
Average Resolution
From first call to signed agreement.
What this means for you:
Twenty-eight days from the initial consultation to a binding, enforceable agreement. Litigation in the same jurisdiction averages 14 months. In-house counsel who appoints Resolve as the neutral in an arbitration clause gets a decision on a defined schedule — not at the court's calendar convenience.
Court Jurisdictions
Familiar territory. Not foreign ground.
What this means for you:
Resolve operates across 12 court jurisdictions in the tri-county region, with bar admissions and panel appointments in each. The mediator knows the local bench, understands the evidentiary standards that would apply if the case proceeded, and uses that knowledge to help parties evaluate risk — making realistic agreements more likely.
Practice Areas
Every dispute has
a different anatomy.
We practice across four primary dispute categories, each with dedicated process frameworks and jurisdiction-specific experience.
families served
Custody arrangements, asset division, and spousal support negotiated in private — without a judge deciding what's best for your children. Our family mediators are trained in high-conflict dynamics and child-inclusive practices.
avg. dispute value
LLC dissolutions, contract disputes, and shareholder conflicts resolved on a defined schedule. We issue enforceable arbitration awards recognized across all 12 jurisdictions we serve.
parties satisfied
Workplace disputes, wrongful termination claims, and discrimination matters handled with the discretion both employers and employees deserve. Agreements are confidential by default.
avg. resolution
Boundary disputes, landlord-tenant conflicts, and purchase agreement failures resolved before they cloud title or delay closing. We work with title companies, brokers, and attorneys directly.
The Process
From first call to
signed agreement.
A room designed for resolution
Neutral space. Natural light. No courtroom pressure.
Both sides at the same table
Dialogue structured to move forward, not relitigate.
A signed agreement. Not a verdict.
Terms both parties chose. Binding and enforceable.
Confidential Intake Call
A 30-minute call with both parties — separately if preferred — to assess the dispute, confirm Resolve's jurisdiction and subject-matter authority, and agree on a neutral. No positions are taken. No commitments are made. The call is privileged.
Position Statements & Document Exchange
Each party submits a brief statement of their position and any documents they want considered. The mediator reviews everything before the first joint session. Surprises are minimized. The first honest conversation can start sooner.
Mediated Sessions
Sessions run 2–4 hours, in person or via secure video. The mediator moves between joint sessions and private caucuses — a technique that lets each party speak without the other present, then brings the productive parts back to the table. Most matters resolve in 2.4 sessions.
Drafting & Execution
Once the parties reach terms, Resolve drafts a memorandum of understanding for attorney review. The final agreement is signed at the conference table — or via secure electronic execution. For arbitration matters, a written award is issued within 7 days of the final hearing.
