Mediation and Dispute Resolution
Not every case should go to court. Parties may want to resolve their dispute without involving a judge. When a case has been litigated for a long period of time, it is necessary for the parties to try to resolve it so they can remain in control of the outcome. We skillfully navigate disputes to help resolve cases to clients’ satisfaction.
Ms. Amiotte is a professionally trained mediator and understands that litigation is not for everyone. The prospect of a protracted court case is undesirable for a variety of reasons, whether it is a dispute involving custody, divorce, liability, real estate, probate, personal injury, or tribal and government dispute. This is because litigation often yields an outcome that is not entirely what either side wants or expects.
Mediation allows the parties in a dispute to discuss the issues in an open, facilitated setting, minimize potential loss, provide direct input for a resolution and preserve relationships. Often mediation is the most desirable course to take to save time, money, and allow the parties to move forward and put a dispute behind them.
Attorney Stephanie Amiotte uses the latest mediation approach learned at the Harvard Law School Intensive Medication course that puts the parties in the decision-making role to facilitate optimal, desired outcomes. She mediates complex liability, personal injury, worker’s compensation, resort and hotel liability, correctional healthcare, nursing home abuse, divorce and custody, worker’s compensation, and tribal and government matters.
In tribal and government disputes, our unique experience in Indigenous issues, dual tribal/U.S. citizenship and experience navigating government affairs serves parties in this niche area of alternative dispute resolution. With our Indigenous cultural awareness and diplomatic approach to the competing but often overlapping interests of government-to-government nations, we can draw from our past proven results so tribes and government Agencies can bridge the gap on policy and issue areas.
