Whether your need for a mediator involves a personal injury lawsuit, Federal Tort Claims Act disputes, railroad cases under the FELA, property issues, breach of contract
and commercial disputes, construction litigation, product liability matters, Title IX cases, wrongful termination claims, medical malpractice, or professional negligence of any kind,
Adam has litigated these types of cases himself. He is happy to serve as a mediator for you.
