A practical alternative to prolonged litigation.
Mediation gives parties an opportunity to work toward a resolution without asking a judge or jury to decide the dispute. As a neutral mediator, Brett Olander facilitates communication, helps clarify the issues, and supports informed settlement discussions.
The decision to settle stays with the parties. Brett prepares for each mediation by reviewing the submitted information, understanding the applicable law, and listening carefully to the concerns on both sides.
Experience across a broad range of disputes
Brett’s mediation work spans many areas of civil litigation, including:
Preparation that supports meaningful discussion
A productive mediation begins before the session itself. Understanding the legal issues, the evidence, and each party’s priorities creates a stronger foundation for exploring possible agreements.
Mediation may reduce the time, expense, and uncertainty associated with litigation. Outcomes depend on the matter and the parties’ willingness to reach agreement; no settlement is guaranteed.

Questions, answered.
Who decides the outcome in mediation?
The parties decide whether to accept a settlement. A mediator facilitates the discussion but does not impose a decision.
What should we prepare before a session?
Contact Brett to confirm what information to submit, relevant deadlines, and session arrangements. Materials typically help identify the facts, disputed issues, and each party’s position.
