Mediation

Tulsa County Mediation Services

In many cases, people are better off making their own decisions, rather than letting someone else make them for them. Mediation is a form of alternative dispute resolution that allows you to stay “in the driver's seat” and find your own resolutions, instead of letting a judge do it for you. It can help you salvage personal relationships, while deciding on an outcome with your adversary in a conciliatory and collaborative manner. As a mediator, Richard E. Comfort uses his experience as a judge to help the two parties come to an agreement, while keeping in mind the laws that apply.

Richard E. Comfort has more than 35 years of legal experience as a judge and a lawyer. He has been involved in mediation in Oklahoma since its inception. In fact, he was the first attorney in the area who practiced family law and divorce mediation. He is available to serve people in Tulsa County and throughout Oklahoma, including the cities of Bartlesville, Claremore, Miami, Vinita, and Broken Arrow. His practice is focused on family law and business law mediation and arbitration.

Mediation can have many benefits for business owners and divorcing couples. While court proceedings are public and open to all who wish to see and hear, mediation is private. Furthermore, court proceedings can be time-consuming and expensive. Since mediation does not rely on the availability of a courtroom, the schedule of a judge, and numerous other factors that can cause delay, it has the ability to save you large amounts of time and money.

When mediation was first introduced in the Tulsa area, it was used by insurance companies to reduce litigation costs. Mediation expanded to other types of cases, such as business disputes, contract disputes, and divorce issues, such as child custody, child support, and property division. When it’s important for two parties to preserve a business or parenting relationship, mediation can resolve issues in a less confrontational way than going through court. In fact, most divorces in Tulsa now go through mediation before they are even assigned a court date.
