Finding Common Ground. Forging Lasting Solutions.
Actor Portrayal
A Modern Approach to Conflict Resolution
Disputes can be financially costly, emotionally draining, and time-consuming. At Saffold Law, we offer professional mediation services as a confidential and constructive alternative to litigation. Quintin D. Saffold brings a unique and powerful perspective to the mediation table. As a licensed attorney and former prosecutor, he understands the high stakes of a legal battle.
As a formally trained mediator, Quintin combines this formal training with his practical legal experience to guide parties toward a mutually agreeable and lasting resolution, saving them the time, stress, and expense of going to court.
We facilitate constructive conversations for couples and families navigating divorce, child custody (conservatorship), and parenting plans3. Our focus is on finding common ground that prioritizes the well-being of the children and allows both parties to move forward.
We mediate disputes between partners, shareholders, or other companies. Leveraging our deep business law experience, we help resolve contract disagreements, partnership breakups, and other commercial conflicts efficiently.
We provide a neutral forum to resolve workplace disputes, including claims of discrimination, harassment, wrongful termination, and retaliation. Our goal is to find practical solutions that can repair working relationships or facilitate a fair separation.
Before enduring a long and expensive litigation process, mediation offers a path to resolution. We mediate personal injury claims and other civil disputes, helping both sides agree on fair compensation and terms without a jury trial.
We mediate conflicts over royalties, copyright, contract breaches, and creative partnerships. Our industry knowledge allows us to understand the unique dynamics of entertainment law and find creative, business-savvy solutions.
The Mediation Process: A Path to Resolution
Our mediation philosophy is built on the “community-based” 4and “party-driven” 5 models. The goal is not for the mediator to impose a decision, but to empower you to find your own resolution. Quintin facilitates this process with impartiality, empathy, and a focus on practical, forward-looking solutions.
1. Preparation & Opening
We begin by ensuring all parties understand the process. We establish the ground rules for communication, confirm confidentiality, and give each party an opportunity to present their perspective without interruption.
2. Exploration & Communication
This is the core of the process. We guide the conversation, moving parties beyond their stated “positions” to uncover their underlying “interests” and needs. This is where true understanding and new solutions begin to emerge.
3. Negotiation & Agreement
Once the core issues are identified, we help parties brainstorm and evaluate potential solutions. Quintin uses his legal and practical experience to help “reality test” proposals, guiding the parties to a final, durable, and legally sound agreement (MSA).
