Mediation & ADR Services

A practical approach to resolution.

Disputes do not have to become drawn-out court battles to be resolved. Legion Resolution Group provides confidential, structured mediation services—part of what is commonly called Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR)—to help families, individuals, employees, and small businesses work through conflict in a respectful and practical setting.

01 · Confidential

Structured, private, and on your terms.

Confidential mediation services for families, individuals, employees, and small businesses. The conversation happens in a respectful and practical setting, not in open court.

02 · In your control

Parties decide, not a judge.

Whether the issue is divorce, an injury claim, a workplace disagreement, or a lower-dollar civil dispute, mediation gives the parties an opportunity to stay in control of the outcome. In Georgia, ADR is widely used because it is often easier, faster, less expensive, and less formal than litigation.

03 · Guided

A neutral guide, not a decider.

The mediator does not decide who is right or impose an outcome. The role is to guide the process, keep the conversation productive, and help the parties evaluate options that fit their lives, their businesses, and their families.

How we work

Three phases. One outcome.

Every Legion engagement follows the same simple framework: organized preparation, private conversations with each side, and a structured joint session focused on a workable outcome.

01

Intake & Preparation

A brief review of basic intake information and key documents shared in advance, so the mediator arrives with a clear picture of the dispute and the parties involved.

Before session
02

Mediation Session

An in-person or virtual session conducted with confidentiality and neutrality, where each party stays in control of the outcome and the mediator helps the conversation stay productive.

Session day
03

Summary & Next Steps

A brief written summary of any agreements reached, for the parties and their attorneys to use in drafting final documents. If settlement is not reached, parties retain the right to proceed in court.

Before the room: why mediation should start with the record

Mediation in Georgia: a procedural map for out-of-state counsel

If you are mediating a Georgia matter from out of state, the procedural ground is different from what you may be used to. Here is the practical map: GODR registration, court-ordered mediation, mediation privilege, and the local conventions that shape how a session actually runs.

Construction mediation: why engaging early beats engaging right

Construction disputes compound. A delay claim becomes a delay-and-defect claim. A defect claim becomes a defect-and-payment claim. The math of when to mediate is mostly about how many layers have stacked up, and the answer is almost always sooner than the parties think.

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers before you book.

Mediation offers a private, structured, and practical way to address conflict without turning every disagreement into prolonged litigation. As part of the broader field of Alternative Dispute Resolution, mediation helps parties work toward voluntary solutions with the guidance of a neutral third party.

Whether the dispute involves family issues, a business matter, a workplace conflict, or a lower-dollar civil claim, the goal is the same: create space for productive discussion and work toward a resolution that the parties themselves can accept. Legion Resolution Group provides mediation services designed to keep the process clear, professional, and focused on practical outcomes.

What is mediation?
Mediation is a confidential process in which a neutral mediator helps parties discuss a dispute, clarify the issues, and work toward a voluntary agreement. The mediator does not decide who is right or wrong and does not impose an outcome on the parties.
How does mediation work?
A mediation session usually begins with an explanation of the process and an overview of the issues to be addressed. The mediator then helps guide communication, explore settlement possibilities, and move the discussion toward resolution through joint conversation, private caucus, or both.
What does the mediator do?
The mediator helps structure the conversation, reduce misunderstandings, and keep negotiations productive. A mediator remains neutral throughout the process and does not serve as a judge, advocate, or legal advisor for either side.
Is mediation confidential?
Mediation is generally confidential, which allows parties to speak more openly and work through issues in a less public setting than court. The scope of confidentiality can depend on the mediation agreement, the type of dispute, and applicable law, so those terms should always be reviewed carefully before the session begins.
Is mediation legally binding?
Mediation itself is a voluntary settlement process, but if the parties reach an agreement and sign written terms, that agreement may become binding and enforceable. If no agreement is reached, the dispute generally continues through litigation, negotiation, or another available process.
What types of disputes can be mediated?
Many different disputes can be mediated, including family matters, small business disputes, employment-related conflicts, personal injury settlement discussions, and lower-dollar civil claims. Legion Resolution Group focuses on practical mediation services for matters where a clear process and efficient resolution are especially important.
Do I need a lawyer for mediation?
Not always. Some parties attend mediation with counsel, while others participate without an attorney, depending on the type of matter and the complexity of the legal issues involved.
What happens if we do not reach an agreement?
If the parties do not resolve the dispute in mediation, they may continue with litigation or another form of dispute resolution. Even when the entire case does not settle, mediation can still help narrow issues, improve communication, and move the matter closer to resolution.
How long does mediation take?
The amount of time needed depends on the type of case, the number of issues involved, and how prepared the parties are when the session begins. Some disputes are resolved in one session, while others may require additional time or follow-up scheduling.
How should I prepare for mediation?
It is usually helpful to gather important documents, identify the key issues, and think in advance about realistic options for resolution. Parties who come prepared and willing to engage in productive discussion generally get more value from the process.
Can mediation be done online?
Yes. Online mediation can make scheduling easier and can reduce the inconvenience of travel, especially when parties or counsel are in different locations. Legion Resolution Group also plans to use online scheduling tools so clients can access available calendar times directly through the website.
How much does mediation cost?
At Legion Resolution Group, standard mediation matters are billed at $175 per hour per party, with a 2-hour minimum for scheduled sessions. Small dispute matters involving $15,000 or less are billed at $115 per hour per party, and disputes above $15,000 are billed at the standard mediation rate.
How are mediation fees usually paid?
Mediation fees are often shared equally between the parties unless a different arrangement is agreed to in advance. When attorneys are involved, payment coordination may also be handled through counsel.
Why choose mediation?
Many people choose mediation because it can be more efficient, more private, and more cost-conscious than extended litigation. It also gives the parties more control over the outcome and creates room for practical solutions that may not be available through a court order alone.
