    As fewer cases go to trial, it is important to have a mediator that is experienced in managing disputes and communicating effectively between parties. Phelps mediators are experienced litigators who can assess the risks of trial and each party’s exposure. That insight informs their understanding that settlement negotiations often produce favorable outcomes in a more efficient manner. Our mediators have decades of trial and negotiation experience to draw from when serving as neutral third-party mediators.
