Introduction: From our Mediator, Laura Graham - "I'm a better listener than most lawyers who do this work and I have a better grasp of the law than most therapists who do this work. I am also a firm believer that there is no "one-size-fits-all" template for the perfect mediator, and that the mediator that is best for you is the one with whom you feel comfortable working (assuming you've gotten past the minimum qualifications). If you are looking for a mediator, go to MCFM.org to see the list of qualified professionals with whom you might work and call several." From our Real Estate/Business Lawyer, Steven Graham - "I am able to offer many years of experience, solid connections to other professionals in my community, and an attention to detail in all that I do. My years of experience allow me to quickly grasp the essence of a situation and identify practical solutions to obstacles as they present themselves. Thanks to the wonders of technology, I am able to make myself available virtually 24/7. I am proud to deliver the highest level of service to my clients whenever they need me." From our Mediator, Laura Graham - "I love working alongside my clients to help them create their new futures. No two people are the same so no two mediations are the same, but I love those moments in a mediation when my clients look at one another and decide that they're going to speak up, be active participants in imagining their new lives without their former partner, and together we find the common ground we need to make that future real. When a mediation goes really well, I get to see the transformation in a couple from hurt and anger to cooperation and the building of a new relationship. This is especially gratifying when there are children involved, but it's a wonderful thing in every instance."

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Since 2011 we've used a sliding fee scale for our Mediation Practice. For couples making $100,000/yr. or more (gross income from all sources), the regular rate of $300/hour applies. For those making less than $100,000/yr., there are step-downs at different income levels. Steven's services for those buying or selling your home are now available as flat fees. A detailed breakdown of our fee structures can be found on our website.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
We keep a close eye on developments in case law through our affiliation with various professional organizations and, as case law changes or as we think we could use a refresher on various aspects of the law, we take continuing legal education through MCLE or the Mass Bar Association. The courses are good reminders of the nuances of our practice and give us a chance to connect with our fellow professionals. A lot changes in the field of law and staying on top of developments is important to us. For refreshers on mediation skills, Laura Graham enjoys the regular programs offered by the MCFM (Massachusetts Council on Family Mediation) and NE-ACR (New England chapter of the Association for Conflict Resolution). Steven keeps an eye on the offerings from REBA (Real Estate Bar Association) and the Title Companies for whom he writes - First American Title Insurance Company and Old Republic National Title Insurance Company.
What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?
Speak to people in the community who have used the professional you're interested in hiring. Get recommendations and feedback from former clients - they are the best gauge of what your experience will be like. If you are looking for a real estate lawyer, ask your local real estate brokers who is good at holding together a difficult deal and whose office is professional and responsive. If you are looking for a mediator, talk to several and ask them what their approach to mediation is. There are many different types of mediators and finding the best fit will help you get the most out of the process (and save you money to boot).
