Who Will We Use as a Mediator?

Choosing a mediator is one of the most important decisions you will make in your Utah divorce.

Because of this, we as a team, spend a good amount of time deciding on a mediator. We take a wide-open approach and consider lots of factors, like:

  1. Which mediator will mesh with our client’s personality.

If personalities clash during mediation, we are less likely to get a good outcome.

  1. Do we need a mediator with particular strengths to help in the negotiations.

Mediators have strengths and weaknesses, and sometimes we need a mediator with a particular strength-set. For example, if a divorce is all about numbers, we will choose a mediator more geared toward systematically crunching numbers. If a divorce is all about custody, we will want a mediator more geared toward addressing emotional needs and thinking creatively about parent-time schedules.

  1. Mediator’s willingness to be creative.

One of the primary reasons you use a mediator is to help come up with creative solutions to complex problems. The more creative solutions you can get in mediation, the more likely mediation will be successful.

  1. Cost.

We try to always pick the best mediator for a particular case, regardless of the cost. While a mediator might cost more, if that mediator is right for the case and will get the job done, then we will save months of time and stress and thousands of dollars. Sometimes, however, cost is a limiting factor, so we will choose the best mediator at the price our client can afford.

After considering these factors, and many others, and coming to a consensus as a team, we decide which mediator will best serve our client and work on scheduling that mediator.

I absolutely believe that Brown Family Law is the best divorce attorney law firm in Utah. Attorney Ray Hingson did a fantastic job for me in a complicated divorce. He was there to guide me through the entire process. Ray touched base with me every week AND every time I called with worries or concerns. He handled things confidently and professionally. He took time to meet with me and explain everything so I could understand it. I felt like he really cared and wanted to do his best for me. His paralegal, Carren Leavitt, was also extremely helpful. All I had to do was pick up the phone and call her and she arranged a time for Ray to call me right back. She was always prompt and caring. I couldn't be happier!
Anne and Josh are Fantastic!!

Leilani Whitmer was my attorney for mediation day at the provo 4th district court on May 9th and absolutely knocked it out of the park. She made the process so smooth and easy I'd recommend her for any family law issue you could possibly fathom.
Clay Randle is absolutely amazing, well educated, knowledgeable lawyer. He’s approached, always makes sure you’re on the top of the situation and very helpful. I’ve had a pleasure working with him and I recommend him as your top notch attorney.
