What is Mediation?

Mediation is a private, informal proceeding where the parties will meet before a neutral third person (the mediator), who helps the parties try to resolve the dispute. The mediator will let the parties discuss their situation and then work with them to find a resolution to the dispute.


The mediator does not have the power to make a decision for the parties but can help the parties find a resolution that is mutually acceptable. The only people who can resolve the dispute in mediation are the parties themselves.


There is both legal mediation and business mediation, and it’s common for lawyers and attorneys to also serve as mediators in a dispute. Patout, Fontana, and Dellis PLLC are experienced mediators who are, no matter the nature of your dispute, ready to help resolve it.


What is Arbitration?

Arbitration is similar to a trial: the parties make opening statements and present evidence to the arbitrator or arbitration panel, who has the authority to make a final, binding decision about the dispute. After the hearing, the arbitrator issues an award that, if binding, can be enforced by a court and can only be appealed under very narrow circumstances.


Arbitration can be an informal process where the parties can agree on an arbitrator and what rules apply. It can also follow preset rules and procedures provided by a third-party organization such as the American Arbitration Association or JAMS.


Patout, Fontana, and Dellis PLLC are experienced arbitrators in Houston, TX, and our team will ensure that your dispute is resolved fairly for all parties involved. If you need arbitration services in Houston, TX, contact us today to schedule a consultation.


Other Dispute Resolution Procedures

There are also alternative dispute resolution processes such as summary/mini-trials, neutral evaluations, hybrid mediation/arbitration proceedings, and settlement conferences. Each has its own procedures, rules, and challenges, all of which Patout, Fontana, and Dellis PLLC is equipped to handle. We stand ready to help guide and advise clients to achieve the best results.


Whether our clients need representation in an ADR proceeding or they need a mediator, arbitrator, or neutral third party, our attorneys have the knowledge, skill, and experience to ensure the best result for our clients.
