"Mediation is the first and best opportunity to resolve disputes in the Dispute Resolution Process."
— Jud Perkins
Common Questions
What is the difference between mediation and arbitration?
Mediation is a voluntary, facilitated negotiation where the mediator helps parties reach their own agreement — the mediator has no decision-making power. Arbitration is an adjudicative process where the arbitrator hears evidence and renders a binding decision.
How long does a typical mediation take?
Most commercial mediations are resolved in a single full-day session (6–8 hours). Complex construction disputes may require two or more sessions. Jud's 85%+ resolution rate reflects his ability to move parties efficiently toward agreement.
What are your fees?
Fees are discussed during the initial consultation and depend on the complexity and anticipated duration of the matter. Jud's rates are competitive with AAA and FINRA panel rates.
Are mediation sessions confidential?
Yes. All mediation communications are strictly confidential under Connecticut, Rhode Island, and New York law. Nothing said in mediation can be used in subsequent litigation.
What geographic areas do you serve?
Jud conducts in-person proceedings in Connecticut, Rhode Island, and New York. Virtual mediation and arbitration via Zoom or Microsoft Teams is available nationwide.
