Alternative Dispute Resolution such as Mediation, Arbitration and Settlement Evaluation is a less time consuming, less expensive and less stressful option to going to trial and enables the parties in dispute to benefit from a neutral third party whose only function is to help facilitate an agreed upon written resolution that is contractually enforceable in court if breached.
We Settle Hard Cases provides a proven track record in resolving disputes that others say cannot be settled. We work closely with the courts, self-represented litigants and attorneys proving sound strategies that settle cases. We work hard with less talk and more results.

Testimonials
“...As I always tell my clients, you never know what might happen if you get in front of an effective mediator. Great Job (Jessica Braverman). You saved both sides a lot of money and helped us get to the result we had been angling for since the case was filed.”
—Thomas S. McConnell, Miller Starr Regalia
“We used three very high paid mediators before who could not resolve our case, but Jessica Braverman (We Settle Hard Cases)
was successful in settling our case.”
—Attorney David A. Kleczek, Kleczek Law Office
“After months of our staff trying to deal with an ongoing situation that was disrupting our workplace, we requested that Senior Management bring in a mediator to help us find a way toward resolution. Over a month’s time, Jessica Braverman met with us on a weekly basis to help us work through the issues that were negatively affecting both our professional and personal lives. With her guidance, we were able to restore relationships that had seemed to be irreparable and to move forward from those that were beyond repair. In addition, Jessica helped the group define our expectations, boundaries, and goals which has enabled us to achieve a much more amiable and productive working environment. Jessica was instrumental in our conflict resolution process, were it not for her intervention I doubt that our group’s outcome would have been as favorable as it has been.”
