Mediation Services

WLF’s principal, Ted Weiss, serves as a mediator in business and commercial disputes. The factor that distinguishes him from other mediators is more than thirty-nine years of experience in handling lawsuits for a broad range of clients -- from Fortune 500 companies to small corporations and individuals. Weiss worked for over twenty years as a partner and associate in a large law firm, for three years as a partner in a mid-size litigation firm, and sixteen years in independent practice. This rich, extensive, and diverse experience  enables him to evaluate cases and counsel parties concerning the wisdom of settlement and the risks of resolving their dispute through a trial before a judge or jury.

Weiss has completed the forty-hour course for mediators at the University of Houston A. A. White Dispute Resolution Center. He also studied the negotiation process in an extensive seminar presented by Marty Latz of the Latz Negotiation Institute. A mediator’s training and experience are the catalysts that make the process work.
