Background

About Anthony Castelli

If you have a business or personal dispute you can avoid litigation and use the services of a mediator like Anthony to resolve your dispute on your terms saving you time and money. It is often the best interest in a dispute to hire a mediator as early as possible. The benefits are the parties resolve the dispute on their own terms, voluntarily, confidentially, saving time and money for all parties. Using a mediator is an ideal situation as they do not represent either party but are an objective, impartial 3rd party that structures the communications so both parties can quickly and economically resolve their dispute on terms that benefit everyone. You can benefit from my seven step process that I have developed through both my meditation experience and Harvard University mediation education. It takes you from the initial scheduling of mediation through your solution to your dispute and is adaptable to the parties needs: Pre-mediation discussions with both parties leading to a meaningful mediation. Mediator opening statement to explain how the process works and an introduction of all the parties to each other. The goal is to make the dispute the adversary not the individuals, setting the stage for a more respectful and productive conversation. The parties state their positions and the mediator confirms not only their understanding of the positions but ensures that each party understands the other’s position. When each party feels that they have been heard, they are more likely to be open to negotiation. The parties explore their interests and needs, underlying their positions discovering where their interests coincide, leading to better outcomes for all concerned. The parties brainstorm solutions to their dispute. The parties decide on the appropriate solutions and how to implement them. A written document is prepared, memorializing the parties agreement and the decision to make the document legally binding or not. If you are in-house counsel, insurance defense counsel, a plaintiff personal injury attorney or business attorney, I invite you to talk with me to schedule mediation of your client's dispute. Of course, your counterpart on the dispute needs to be on board as well. Anthony has a high rate of success as a mediator. He can be hired privately before a lawsuit or after one is filed. He in on the mediator panels of Warren, Butler and Hamilton Counties and the Cincinnati Bar Association and the Federal Southern District Court of Ohio. He is certified to do online mediations via Zoom. 513-621-2345 | tony@castellilaw.com |
