-Negotiate real estate agreements
-Review your lending documents

Some disputes are better solved outside of the courtroom. Our effective mediators can guide negotiations to best protect your interests. By retaining an experienced mediator to strategize the contract negotiation process, you can often avoid disputes from arising at a later stage in the real estate transaction, and so save time, money and frustration.
