When experience matters.

Solutions bring power. They bring success. They bring closure. We believe that helping others discover solutions for resolving their differences is one of the greatest contributions we can make. At Cihigoyenetche, Grossberg & Clouse Mediation Services, we are practicing attorneys and trial lawyers, licensed in both state and federal courts. Each one of our mediators has not only achieved spectacular results in his or her personal life, but each has more than 20 years of litigation, business, real estate, transactional, and "real world" experience. From handling thousands of cases and our continued devotion to satisfying the needs of countless clients, we know, without a doubt, there are patterns for helping your case resolve.

Our mediation services are designed to empower participants - lawyers and non-lawyers, alike - with certainty, progress, and focus. By bringing our vast litigation, negotiation and creative talents to your current conflict, we not only inspire trust, but provide you with an alternative to the high financial and emotional costs of litigation. Simply, our goal is to assist you in settling your dispute. In achieving your goal, we will provide you with the respect, attention and candor you deserve.

Most importantly, through our mediation services, you retain absolute control over the course of your case; a control you forfeit if you proceed to trial and place your dispute in the hands of either a judge or jury - a loss of control and rise in uncertainty that all entrenched litigants experience. By using our mediation services, you are making a decision that will ultimately let you move forward. We take your choice seriously - and we are committed to giving you all the effort this process deserves. Our services are not based on hope, but on proven mediation and negotiation strategies, theories, and techniques that allow participants, working together, to reach the resolution they choose.

Finally, we want to honor your mediation privacy. As such, we ask all participants to sign a confidentiality agreement at the start of the mediation so that the process will remain confidential and statements made during the session are privileged (unless you agree to the contrary). When your resolution is achieved, it will be reduced into a written agreement.

We look forward to the extraordinary opportunity of working with you and know you will find the experience rewarding. Please visit our website at www.cgclaw.com or call us at 909-483-1850 to discuss whether your particular situation is appropriate for mediation.
