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.

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: 

  • Gather Financial Documents – Have tax returns, bank statements, pay stubs, and any relevant financial records ready.
  • Organize Your Timeline – Create a clear timeline of important events related to your dispute.

  • Understand Your Bottom Line – Know where you’re willing to compromise and where you’re not.
  • Talk to Your Attorney – Review your legal rights and potential risks ahead of time.
  • Stay Open-Minded – Mediation works best when you’re open to creative solutions.
  • Consider the Other Party’s Perspective – Anticipate their goals and concerns to better prepare for negotiations.
  • Bring Documentation – Contracts, court orders, agreements, or any documents relevant to your dispute should be accessible.
  • Plan for Emotions – Disputes are stressful — prepare yourself mentally and emotionally.
  • Be On Time & Stay Engaged – Whether in person or online, your participation is key to reaching an agreement.
