You were injured & it's not your fault. Now you are entitled to whatever compensation is necessary to put you back in the position you would have been in had you not been injured.

It is important to Joe that he works with parties engaged in a dispute where mediation is appropriate. Therefore he does not charge for initial consultations. During your consultation, Joe will personally speak with the parties so that all sides can make an educated decision as to the most prudent way to proceed.
Joe commonly recommends mediation prior to the more aggressive step of legal action.

Cancellation/Postponement Policy: When the mediation has been scheduled and a cancellation/continuance occurs the deposit will be refunded except for time incurred if I can re-reschedule the time with another matter or if notice is given fifteen (15) or more days in advance. Otherwise, if the cancellation or postponement occurs within fifteen (15) days of the mediation date, the parties will be responsible for the deposit. The cancellation policy exists because time reserved and later cancelled generally cannot be replaced.
