Alternative Law

In order for mediation to completely achieve its goals, there must be an excellent process and procedure, willing participants, and expert mediators.

Many of our professionals have been mediating, training, and negotiating for over 20 years.

All of our mediators have been trained by Bar Association approved institutions such as Cornell University, Harvard Law School, the Council of Family Mediators, Mass. Dispute Resolution Program, United States Government Agencies such as The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission or approved entities. In addition, all mediators are required to attend training courses and continuing legal, mediation educational programs each year.

This month's featured lead mediator is Frank Fallon.

As mediator, negotiator, arbitrator, and private judge Mr. Fallon’s methods focus on multi disciplinary approaches to alternative dispute resolution which directly promote both balanced settlement results and consistent client satisfaction. In order to negotiate fair and lasting decisions and settlements, Frank combines case specifics and situational realities with detailed neutral analyses of interactive business theories, legal studies and best practices.

Utilizing creative multi party and individual techniques, he resolves difficult professional and personal conflicts involving corporations, nonprofit organizations, individuals, family businesses and government agencies. Frank personally developed the innovative, interactive award winning 'best ideas win' settlement, mediation, and negotiation programs to resolve the most demanding disputes and to re-mediate and settle cases that have reached an impasse with other processes.

As a result of the outstanding success of this plaintiff/defense neutrals’ program designed for working with difficult cases and sensitive clients, he has repeatedly won the national ADR competition to settle various internal government disputes, including the EEOC, the United States Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, in addition to his previous awards for settlement of government, public and corporate disputes.

As principal mediator and arbitrator, and strategic planner, Frank’s expertise and passion also includes business development, entrepreneurship, startups, and technology. Labor, management, union issues, age, race, sex, gender, harassment, and disability discrimination termination, disparate impact, undue hardship, civil rights, and related professional and personal controversies are additional areas where he has received special recognition from the government.
