Start a Mediation Inquiry

Start with neutral intake information.

Share the basics so Harris Mediation Center can review fit, conflicts, and next steps.

A mediation inquiry is a first step toward understanding whether a neutral mediation process may be appropriate. Please keep the summary general and focus on the type of dispute, who is involved, whether a case has been filed, attorney involvement, and any urgent deadlines.

Inquiry form

Begin the form here.

Submitting an inquiry does not create an attorney-client relationship, does not establish Joel Harris as counsel for either party, and does not guarantee acceptance of the mediation.

Keep this summary general. Do not include Social Security numbers, account numbers, detailed financial information, medical information, privileged communications, private allegations, or other highly sensitive information in this form.

What happens next

The first step is about fit, role clarity, and next steps.

After a mediation inquiry, Harris Mediation Center can evaluate the general nature of the matter, whether mediation may be appropriate, whether there are conflicts or role concerns, and what additional information may be needed.

Mediation may be used before filing, after litigation has begun, or when attorneys are already involved. It does not guarantee agreement, lower cost, faster resolution, or any particular outcome.
