Foothills Mediation and ADR

Dispute Resolution Without Court

In Person & Virtual

Quality, Cost Effective, Efficient

Mediation for Individuals, Business, Government, Organizations & Families

Foothills Mediation helps parties resolve their conflict in a mutually acceptable way.

If you are involved in a dispute, going to court to resolve it can be an expensive, time-consuming and stressful process.

Marianne Lizza-Irwin is an experienced attorney in processes which help parties resolve disputes outside of the courtroom. Settlement Conferences, Mediation & Arbitration are some of these Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) processes. Ms. Lizza-Irwin also acts as a Special Master in matters where requested by the court.

In mediation, a neutral third party, the mediator, facilitates a resolution of the dispute by the parties. The mediator helps the parties communicate their different perspectives, discuss their needs and interests, and explore ways to resolve their conflict.

In arbitration, the role of the neutral is also one of decision-maker. The process proceeds pursuant to specified rules, with a hearing scheduled for the presentation of evidence by the parties and an eventual decision by the arbitrator.

We serve clients in all counties in the State of Colorado.

Mediation Through Video Conferencing

Most people are familiar with real-time video conferencing. It has been around for quite some time and works well. However, what you might not know is that you can also mediate cases via the same real-time video conferencing.

I have SUCCESSFULLY mediated cases by video conference since 2017. I use Zoom which has excellent functioning for “virtual” separate conference rooms with privacy and confidentiality. Parties and/or counsel can attend through their phone or computer with one click. Shared documents and whiteboards are an option also. There is no additional charge for on-line mediations.

If you want a mediator with EXPERIENCE using video conferencing, please feel free to contact me at mlizza-irwin@foothillsmediation.com. I am happy to discuss the process and how I can help.
