Our Services

Chisolm, Esq. provides neutral or evaluative mediation services, depending upon the parties’ election. Both approaches are designed to facilitate resolution by identifying each party’s true objectives, and by helping the parties to communicate with each other about what they want to achieve and to explore compromises that will lead them to a mutually acceptable and binding resolution of the dispute. If parties elect to use the evaluative approach, the mediation process will also involve frank discussions about the merits of the case. Mediator Tuneen Chisolm will listen intently to each party and consider their unique identity to adapt the mediation process as needed to deliver an appropriately customized, confidential mediation experience to help you reach a satisfying resolution of your dispute.
