Ridgway and Gafken, P.S. — Skilled Mediators Serving Surrounding Seattle Areas
At Ridgway and Gafken, P.S., we place a particular emphasis on resolving matters through mediation. While much of our practice is dedicated to advocating for clients, we also offer mediation services.
Sheila Ridgway acts a neutral third-party mediator for individuals involved in legal disputes. Mediation is a voluntary and confidential process that can be used to reach a resolution that is in all parties' interests. It is important to know that the mediator does not have authority — the authority remains with the negotiating parties. We can act as the neutral mediator for your situation.
Types of Cases In Which We Can Act as Mediator
Types of cases that we can act in as a mediator encompass many areas of the law, including termination of trusts and other issues falling under the framework of the Trust and Estate Dispute Resolution Act (TEDRA), resolution of disputes over the disbursement of high-asset, multiproperty estates, estate litigation, issues involving fiduciary claims, guardianship and other matters.
Since the Trust and Estate Dispute Resolution Act (TEDRA) came into effect, estate practitioners have had a specific framework for dealing with conflicts concerning wills, intestate estates and trusts in Washington. We can participate in these situations as the neutral mediator.
