The duration of a lawsuit may depend upon such factors as venue — the Court in which a case is located, the complexity of the dispute, the number of parties, the outcome at trial, and whether or not an unsuccessful party may pursue an appeal that further extends the litigation.
Mediation is intended to reduce costs and time associated with a lawsuit and establish a certain outcome or result versus leaving that decision to a judge or jury.

To schedule an appointment online, select your preferred available date. Our team will reach out to you once we receive your request form.
Mediations will be conducted by Zoom video conferencing unless otherwise agreed. Brief mediation statements are requested consistent with any applicable court order, or absent court order, must be received one week prior to the scheduled mediation and sent via email to peter@pkmediation.com. The brief mediation statement should contain what you feel are pertinent facts, disputed issues, pending motions, and a history of settlement negotiations, along with the current settlement posture. If you wish, you may provide me with records, reports, or other documents that you think are particularly significant in the case.
Bills for mediation fees will be emailed to the parties after the mediation conference is concluded and are payable upon receipt. Please note that while you may invoice your client for reimbursement or forward the invoice to your client for direct payment, my mediation services have been retained by you and your firms, and you and your firms are ultimately responsible for the payment of the invoice rendered. Any charges not paid within 30 days will accrue interest at the highest rate allowed by law.
3 hour minimum for ½ day mediation and 6 hour minimum for full day mediation.
Less than 5 business days’ notice: Cancellation Fee equal to 3 hours of service for ½ day mediations or arbitrations and Cancellation Fee equal to 6 hours of service for full-day mediations
