Peaceful Solutions for Families, Businesses & Estate Disputes — Serving All of Georgia

Mediation Services Across Georgia

At Synergy Law and Mediation, LLC, we help individuals, families, and businesses across Georgia resolve disputes through confidential, cost-effective mediation. Whether you’re facing a difficult divorce, a family conflict over an estate, or a business disagreement, mediation can help you find a peaceful solution without the stress and expense of going to court.

As an experienced mediator, attorney, and part-time magistrate judge, I bring a unique perspective and deep legal knowledge to every mediation session. I am also certified in domestic violence mediation, which means I have specialized training to ensure safety, balance, and fairness when domestic violence has been present in a relationship.

What is Mediation?

Mediation is a confidential process where a neutral mediator helps two or more parties negotiate and resolve their legal disputes outside of court. Unlike a judge or arbitrator, the mediator does not make decisions. Instead, the mediator guides productive discussions so the parties can craft their own agreements.

Mediation is an ideal option for many types of cases, especially for families, divorcing couples, business partners, and heirs involved in estate disputes. It allows you to maintain control over the outcome rather than leaving important decisions in the hands of a judge.

Frequently Asked Question

You are not required to have an attorney, but having legal advice before or during mediation can be very helpful — especially in divorce, estate, and business cases.

Once both parties sign a written agreement, it becomes a legally binding contract. The agreement can also be submitted to the court for approval in family law or probate cases.

Yes! We offer secure online mediation sessions, available to clients throughout Georgia. All you need is a device with internet access.

Mediation Styles Offered

We customize the mediation process based on your needs, the nature of the dispute, and the dynamics between the parties. These are the primary mediation approaches we offer:

Facilitative Mediation

The mediator guides communication, helping parties explore options and craft their own solutions.

Evaluative Mediation

The mediator provides legal context and feedback, helping parties understand the strengths and weaknesses of their case.

Settlement-Focused Mediation

Emphasis on quickly reaching an agreement, often used in uncontested cases or where both sides are motivated to resolve the matter efficiently.

Transformative Mediation

Focused on improving communication and understanding, especially when parties need to preserve an ongoing relationship.

Certified in Domestic Violence Mediation

If your case involves a history of domestic violence, mediation can still be an option — but it requires specialized handling. As a certified domestic violence mediator, I follow safety-first protocols, including separate sessions (caucusing), safety planning, and power balance protections to ensure both parties have a voice.

Top 10 Tips to Prepare for Mediation

Whether you’re attending mediation on your own or with your attorney, preparation is key to making the process successful. Here are the top ten things you can do to prepare yourself and help your attorney get ready for mediation:
