“Discourage litigation. Persuade your neighbors to compromise whenever you can. Point out to them how the nominal winner is often a real loser — in fees, expenses, and waste of time. As a peacemaker the lawyer has a superior opportunity of being a good man.”

Mediation through the Law of Offices of James Henry Dunne, Esq. is the process by which parties to a dispute consent to reaching a mutually acceptable resolution to a disagreement through joint discussions facilitated by a formally trained mediator (in compliance with Part 146 of the Rules of the NYS Chief Administrative Judge). The process is private and confidential, with the goal of being faster, less expensive, and less restrictive than settling the same issue in court.
The primary function of the mediator is to impartially guide the parties involved towards a realistic and cost-effective settlement. As the mediator in your disputed matter, James will not be there to make decisions for either party, but rather to help expedite the process through his objectivity and understanding of the intent of the parties while considering the relevant law as applied to the facts of the dispute to help both parties gain perspective. Mediation will overcome barriers at any stage of a conflict and enable each party to take every reasonable step possible to resolve a dispute before bringing that issue into the public eye. This process avoids the scrutiny of a courtroom judge and minimizes the irretrievable loss of valuable time, resources and money.
Commercial mediation is a voluntary and confidential form of alternative dispute resolution. James, serving as the mediator, assists parties to work towards a negotiated acceptable settlement of their dispute. It is important to note that the parties retain control of the decision on whether or not to settle, and on what terms. Unlike a judge or arbitrator, the mediator will not decide the case but will instead work to facilitate agreement between the parties. It is the parties’ opinions, not the mediators, which matter. The process is confidential and “without prejudice”. Legally, this means that what is said during the mediation process cannot be used in later proceedings if the mediation process does not lead to settlement and the parties instead opt to either arbitrate or go through the painstaking, expensive, public, and drawn-out judicial process.
Commercial mediation provides a private forum in which the parties can gain a better understanding of each other’s positions and work together to explore options for resolution. If both parties agree, James will meet privately with each party to discuss the problem confidentially. This allows each party to be frank with him and have the opportunity to outline their concerns privately, without concern that any vulnerabilities or "lines in the sand" shared will be communicated to the other party (or parties).
A distinct advantage of commercial mediation is that the parties can, if they are amenable, agree to solutions which a court or arbitrator would not consider. A well-handled mediation, by an objective neutral like James, can preserve business relations, save money, save time, and maintain confidentiality for all involved.
James has been admitted to the New York Supreme Court Roster of Commercial Division Mediators. James' goal is for the parties to come to mutually acceptable terms and execute a written and binding agreement at the conclusion of the mediation process so that all involved can move beyond the matter.
Mediation is a non-binding process.
