Mr. Madden has an LLM graduate law degree in conflict resolution from Pepperdine University’s Straus Institute For Dispute Resolution, the premiere mediation training program in America, where he studied with many of the top mediators in the field: Ken Cloke, Bruce Edwards of JAMS, Nina Meierding, Peter Robinson, Randy Lowry, and Robert O’Donnell. His graduate thesis, “The Three Poisons: A Buddhist Guide To Conflict Resolution", is a study of how Buddhist principles and practices which can be used to resolve internal and inter-personal conflict by allowing the participants to see what is actually occurring, and to learn who their “opponents” really are, thereby free themselves from attachment to the conflict. Mr. Madden works with these principles in the mediations he conducts.
If you or your clients find themselves in dispute, please call us for a free consultation, preferably before litigation commences. If parties are represented by counsel, they are of course welcome to participate in the mediation sessions, or to call to discuss their clients’ situation. Our hourly mediator fee is $250 for groups of four or less, and $325 for larger groups, with a two-hour minimum per case (which is paid as a retainer before the first session), and a 72-hour cancellation policy with full refund except for mediator fees for reviewing case documents prior to mediation. We also provide “hybrid” forms of conflict resolution such as med-arb and arb-med, which allow for the inclusion of mediation and arbitration in one session, thereby saving time and money for the participants as well as guaranteeing finality to the proceeding.
