Our Mission

Empathetic, Wholistic Advocacy

At Griffin & Sears, we believe that empathy is the heart of advocacy. We understand that the laws which govern the society we live in affect people differently. As empathetic, wholistic advocates, we treat you like an individual instead of a case number. We will listen to the unique circumstances you are facing and assist you in developing short term goals to meet your immediate needs as well as sustainable strategies for future success.

Judgment-Free Representation

Initiating an honest, personal conversation with an attorney can be an intimidating experience, especially when the information you need to share with your advocate is associated with feelings of shame or embarrassment. At Griffin & Sears, we acknowledge how difficult taking that first step can be. When you are ready to share your story, our attorneys will greet you with open minds, open hearts, and attentive ears.

Court Ordered Mediation

Mediation in Lieu of Court

Mediation is a confidential settlement process used by the courts to resolve issues between parties in lieu of unnecessary litigation. The mediation process saves the court and the parties time and resources. During the mediation, the parties meet with the mediator, who acts as a neutral third party to settle disputes on terms favorable to both parties. Parties may or may not be represented by attorneys during the mediation process.

Mediation empowers the parties to reach agreements on important personal decisions rather than entrusting the decision making process to a judge. Even if the parties are unable to reach an agreement as to every issue in dispute, resolving some issues in mediation substantially reduces the time, energy, and money the parties will have to invest into their case.

Mediation in Lieu of Court

Some parties prefer to avoid the litigious nature of adversarial court proceedings by working through a mediator to reach an agreement. If an agreement between the parties is reached, the mediator, who does not represent either party, can draw the necessary paperwork to submit to the court for an additional fee. Parties always have the option to participate in mediation with or without counsel. If you and the opposing party in your dispute are looking for a less expensive, less stressful resolution, this process may be an ideal solution for you!
