Can You Mediate a Contract Dispute?

Contract disputes arise under various conditions. For example, there could be a dispute between people who have agreed for one party to perform maintenance or refurbishment on a property, employment agreements, contracts for a service performed such as team/lessons and other sports-related endeavors, partnerships, consumer fraud allegations, and many more factual scenarios.

Often times, these types of disputes create a lot of animosity and hostility between the parties who, most likely at one time, had high expectations of a positive and productive relationship.

These emotions can fuel unnecessary and lengthy litigation that may destroy any potential for reparation of the relationship in the future. In these instances, mediation can accomplish many things. First, it can resolve the dispute without long and expensive litigation. Second, it can stave off what could be a “war” between the parties in court that ensures that they will never be able to repair the damage. Third, relationships that were once good, and then went south, can be brought back around to one that is positive, as a result of hashing out differences and coming to a mutual solution together.

This all happens through mediation. Frankly, it is most likely the only time it can happen, at least in this way. Mediation is the alternative to what is at times the vindictive and aggressive approach to resolving matters in court. Mediation gives back to the parties the control that they may feel they have lost during the litigation process. Mediation is far less expensive than litigation, as well, and cases can resolve in the matter of hours or days, rather than years.

Almost every type of dispute can be handled through mediation. If you have a contract dispute and you would like to streamline the process and come to a resolution on your own terms, call Widman Law Firm for a free one hour consultation.

"Phyllis Widman, and staff, after years of continuous working on my behalf, keeping in touch with me every step of the way, for years, was happy to inform me that we had won the case.

"I hired Phyllis Widman to assist me with the denial of my religious exemption for the COVID vaccine and employment termination by my employer. Phyllis was extremely knowledgeable and clearly explained to me about my legal rights and the legal process. I found her to be very efficient, organized, and passionate about her work and I especially liked that she really cared about me as a person and truly wanted what was best for me. I am very grateful to say, I did have a successful outcome. The religious exemption denial was overturned and I am back to work. I highly recommend Phyllis Widman." Kimberly R.
★★★★★
"Phyllis and her team took care of everything after my injury. When I was hurt, I was unsure who to speak to, as I'm quite young and typically "let things go." After a few recommendations and the first phone call I knew I was in good hands. I don't know where I'd be right now if I didn't make that simple first phone call. A thank you just isn't enough, but thank you so so much for what your firm does." Anonymous

"My experience with Phyllis Widman was excellent. I know that I would not have had the successful outcome that I did without the expertise and specialty training of Phyllis Widman. Phyllis worked tirelessly to make sure that my concerns were addressed, and my needs were met. Phyllis is extremely personable, friendly, comforting and very relatable. She is so well versed in the field of vaccine injury law. I am extremely fortunate to have found Phyllis for my case and would highly recommend her to anyone in search of a truly compassionate professional." Kristen M.
