Civil Mediation
Braverman Mediation & Consulting offers unparalleled verdict knowledge by tracking verdicts closely and utilizes a strategy that helps settle tough litigated and contested cases in Northern California. We offer a fee to fit the case sliding scale for full Mediation, Settlement Conferences, Neutral Evaluation, Special Master and Discovery Referee Services.

Mediation is a less time consuming and less expensive alternative to going to trial that can be voluntarily selected by litigants, attorneys, and parties enabling the parties in dispute to benefit from a neutral evaluator whose only function is to help facilitate an agreed upon resolution that is ultimately written down and signed by the parties.
  • We have extensive experience in conflict resolution and work closely with the courts, self-represented litigants, and attorneys in providing effective strategies that settle cases on a sliding scale/fee to fit the case basis.
  • We enable the parties to take charge of their case and, thus, control their costs and their potential exposure. Jessica Braverman offers a refreshing “Mediation with Me” approach to her cases, which helps foster an ideal working relationship with the parties to resolve complex disputes.
  • We partner with attorneys and law firms to lend neutral evaluation, special master, civil mediation, and discovery referee services. Jessica Braverman is affectionately referred to as “the closer” as many know she has an impressive settlement record.
