I have referred many clients to Oliver Ross for mediation and have consistently received great feedback. Most say that Dr. Ross is compassionate, fair, and thorough in all of his work. Some have said that he has had a remarkable calming effect on their relationship. I now encourage everyone who might be considering divorce to call Oliver first!

| Workplace Mediation FAQs | ||
Workplace disputes are time-consuming, counterproductive and costly. Whether between co-owners, executives, professionals or managers, or between an employee and employer, when left to fester workplace disputes frequently result in adversarial legal tactics and proceedings. Workplace mediation through Out-of-Court Solutions provides a highly effective, collaborative, and inexpensive method for workplace colleagues to make informed decisions and enter into agreements that foster individual and organizational success. Frequently Asked Questions About Workplace Mediation
Workplace colleagues who are in conflict meet together with an impartial professional mediator to identify and resolve disagreements, misunderstandings, and disputes. The first step is a free telephonic consultation with one of our mediators. The next step is an in-person or telephonic interview with each person so that the mediator can learn about and send everyone a letter summarizing the issues, concerns and goals to be discussed during mediation. The third step is a mediation session where everyone works together towards reaching mutually beneficial agreements. What is the Situational™ approach to mediation? Originated by Oliver Ross, JD, PhD, the founder of Out-of-Court Solutions, the Situational™ approach to mediation is an advanced method of mediation that has proven highly effective in resolving disputes quickly, caringly and inexpensively. The Situational™ approach requires that the mediator adapt the mediation process to conform to each particular situation. It also requires that the mediator assure that everyone is heard, makes fully informed decisions, and enters into sensible agreements. Who participates in workplace mediation?
With our backgrounds in law, business and psychology, and certification in Situational™ mediation, we help workplace colleagues communicate and negotiate effectively, explore options and alternatives for resolution, and understand the legal, financial and organizational issues involved in their dispute. Upon resolution and when requested, we prepare action plans, memoranda of understanding, and other types of settlement documents. What if I want an independent attorney’s help? At any stage of mediation and/or before signing any agreement, you can consult with an independent attorney. With Out-of-Court Solutions, your use of an independent attorney is an option, not a requirement. How does workplace mediation differ from court-based proceedings? Workplace colleagues keep control – rather than surrendering it to attorneys or a judge. Unlike stressful, win-lose court-based proceedings, mediation takes place in a private, confidential and informal environment. How much does workplace mediation cost? Family mediation is inexpensive compared to using lawyers and the courts. Lawyers typically charger retainer fees ranging from $3,000 to $5,000 or more for each person -- just to get started! With Out-of-Court Solutions, workplace colleagues do not pay a retainer fee, can divide the cost, pay as they go and avoid costly legal tactics, thereby saving thousands of dollars. How do I get other questions answered? Arrange for a complimentary consultation by calling Out-of-Court Solutions at How do the benefits of family mediation compare to using lawyers and the courts?
