Why Reed Leverton? My
experiences as a trial lawyer, mediator, former district judge and in business
are primarily in the areas of family law, personal injury, professional
negligence, securities and commercial real estate development. While my
mediation practice tends to focus on these types of cases, I have been involved
in a wide variety of disputes and consider myself qualified to effectively
mediate just about any case imaginable.
While I was a judge I presided over more than 1,000 civil cases. I am committed
to the idea that 99% of the time a court of law is the last and worst place to
resolve a civil dispute, and that parties to litigation can get on with their
lives faster, cheaper and with much greater ease through the use of mediation.
I cannot guarantee results. What I
can guarantee however, is that your case will receive my utmost attention and
dedication. Simply put, my number one goal is to work with you to reach a
settlement that all parties will consider fair, while at the same time helping
you to avoid the potential nightmare that waits at the courthouse.
