James Spink Vermont Mediator
 

Jim mediates a wide range of civil disputes at every stage of litigation – from pre-suit mediations to complex settlement discussions post-verdict. Jim has experience mediating civil cases of every description, including personal injury cases, wrongful death cases, employment disputes, catastrophic injury claims, multi-party disputes, professional malpractice claims and construction claims, to name just a few.

Jim is particularly adept at establishing rapport with all participants so that the negotiations can proceed with candor, mutual respect and dignity.  A significant percentage of cases do settle at mediation.  For those that don’t, Jim will afterwards continue his work with counsel – and their clients -- to achieve a resolution.

Jim has the skill and personality to create an environment where my clients feel heard. My clients like and relate to Jim and are impressed with his preparation. I trust him and look forward to hearing his insights on the strengths and weaknesses of my cases. His experience as a trial attorney gives him credibility with both sides. A testament to his fairness is that the defense is just as likely to suggest using Jim as a mediator as I am.  ”
