Meet Your Mediator: D. Brian Boggess

Brian Boggess grew up in Salt Lake County before attending Brigham Young University, where he graduated with his B.A. in English in 1989 and his Juris Doctorate in 1992. He practiced law for nearly thirty years, trying hundreds of cases and serving thousands of clients. During that time, Brian saw that trial is really great--for the lawyers involved! He came to see mediation as a faster, cheaper, and less traumatic way for clients to their resolve disputes. He has now turned his considerable experience and talent toward helping others honorably settle their legal difficulties. Put Brian's courtroom experience and unflappable demeanor to work helping you settle your case before going through the cost and pain of trial.

The Mediation Process: A Focus on Results

Mediation is a court-favored process where parties to a lawsuit try to settle their dispute with the help of a third party, called the Mediator. The Mediator first tries to understand the positions of the parties by meeting with each individually and ascertaining their key interests, as well as the relative strengths and weaknesses of their case. Then, the Mediator engages in a period of "shuttle diplomacy," meeting with each party separately while working on a joint resolution that meets each party's principled interests in a way that is acceptable to the other side. If the case settles, the parties go home with a signed agreement completely resolving the lawsuit. Most cases, such as divorce, custody matters, business disputes, and probate, can be resolved in a day. Even the most complex cases can be resolved in a way that protects both parties, given enough willingness, skill, and creativity.

Mediation: A Better, Faster Way

With the current case backlog facing our court system, it is not uncommon for litigants to find they are waiting one to three years for a trial date. Mediation can be scheduled as soon as the parties and the Mediator find a open date, sometimes in a matter of days or weeks. Don't live with the constant fear and stress of ongoing litigation any longer than necessary! Contact us today to schedule your mediation. The sooner your case is on our calendar, the better your chances of resolving your dispute, settling your lawsuit, and getting back to a life without litigation. We are here to help!
