Pennsylvania Business Mediation Attorneys
Helping You Reach Reasonable Resolutions Outside the Courtroom
A business dispute may have been the result of a simple misunderstanding, but emotions soon play a part and, before you know it, a resolution is nowhere in sight. If this is the case, you may be considering heading to court to resolve your business dispute.
But before you do, you may want to consider business mediation. It’s a cheaper, quicker option that can resolve your issue without the need of attorneys or dealing with the court system.
At Fellerman & Ciarimboli Law PC, we understand that small businesses often don’t have the expenses needed for litigation. That’s why we offer small business mediation services to clients throughout Pennsylvania to reach a settlement all parties agree upon so they can get back to business.

Mediation Services for Small Businesses
When a conflict arises in your business, you may be considering litigation. However, this can be an expensive and time-consuming endeavor—you’ll have to deal with court costs and attorney fees for a case that could take years to resolve. Litigation is something that many small businesses simply cannot afford. The good news is that there’s an alternative solution: mediation.
Mediation can help you and the other party come to a resolution without the need for going to court. Since the two parties are sharing the cost of the mediator, the expenses are much lower, even if you hire a mediator on a per-hour basis. Best of all, the mediation process only takes a few hours to reach a resolution. If mediation is successful, you’ll have a signed agreement that can be enforced by the court if the other party does not live up to the terms of the settlement. And if mediation does not resolve the issue, you still have the option to take legal action.
Business mediation gives both parties a chance to voice their concerns and open up a line of communication to resolve the dispute. It can smooth over misunderstandings and give a person a chance to be heard by the opposing party. By voluntarily participating in a mediation, you can avoid the anxiety and fear many feel about going to court.
How the Business Mediation Process Works
The first step in business mediation is finding a neutral third party to meet with you and the opposing party to help try and work out the agreement. This neutral third party is known as the mediator. The mediator has been trained to help both parties work through their disagreement and find a solution that is mutually beneficial.
During mediation, each side will have a chance to explain their position. The mediator may ask questions during the statement to clarify events. Most times, the parties do not question the other side.
Once each party has spoken, the mediator will then work with each side to attempt to find common ground. The mediator may ask both parties to get together to discuss possible solutions. He or she will talk with each party, proposing solutions and trying to settle the dispute.
At the end of the process, the mediator will then present his or her findings and offer a solution to the issue. If both sides find the resolution favorable, the mediator will draft up an agreement.

I have a friend who sought help from Fellerman & Ciarimboli and said they were very nice and helpful. So when I needed assistance, they were the first ones I thought of, and gave them a call. I was connected to Attorney Molly Clark, who made a significant impact. Her comforting personality created a welcoming environment during our interactions, turning what could have been a somber experience into one filled with positivity. Our upbeat conversations, in contrast to the challenging situation, improved my well-being.
What truly won me over was Molly's commitment to keeping me informed about the progress of my situation. Whenever I called her with questions, she promptly provided answers, ensuring I had the information I needed when I needed it. Working with Fellerman & Ciarimboli was a positive experience given the circumstances I was facing. I highly recommend Attorney Molly and the firm to anyone seeking reliable and compassionate assistance during challenging times.

There are no adequate words to convey to you, Mike, and Ed how grateful our family is for all of your hard work in helping us through the most difficult time of our lives. Your commitment to justice is unlike anything we have ever witnessed. Our tragedy became your tragedy. The three of you have become part of our family.
Harry, you explained everything necessary in terms which were comprehensible and helpful to us to better understand all that was presented. We are so grateful for that.
The compassion shown to us by not only the three of you, but everyone to whom we encountered at Fellerman & Ciarimboli was off the charts and so sincere.
We will grieve our profound loss for the rest of our lives, but all of you helped to make it a bit easier, and we thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
God's Blessings to you and your family.

I was in a bad accident and I had my daughter in the car with me. I highly recommend this firm.
