Confluence Mediation resolves civil disputes for referring attorneys across Tennessee — thorough preparation, direct communication, and settlements that hold up. The same discipline also powers free community mediation for neighbors who can’t afford litigation.
J.D. background with a specialization in commercial and logistics-adjacent disputes — freight, contracts, and business breakups where industry fluency shortens the path to settlement.
A referral is a reflection on you. Every file gets the same standard: prepared, responsive, and closed without drama.
Position statements and exhibits are read in full before the session starts — no cold opens, no wasted billable hours re-explaining the case.
You or your client’s contact reaches the mediator directly. Sessions are scheduled within days, not routed through a call center.
A background in freight, logistics, and commercial contracts means less time spent explaining the business — more time spent resolving it.
Breach of contract, partnership breakups, and business-to-business disagreements where an ongoing relationship or reputation is worth preserving.
Broker-carrier disputes, cargo claims, and service contract disagreements — informed by direct experience in the industry.
Personal injury, property, and other civil disputes where both sides would benefit from a faster, lower-cost resolution than trial.
Vendor disagreements and collection-adjacent matters where a structured conversation can avoid a judgment neither side wants.
Send the case type, parties, and scheduling constraints through the intake form below, or have your client’s contact do it directly.
A conflict check and short scoping call confirm the mediation fits and set a date — typically within 3–5 business days.
Mediation proceeds with prepared materials on both sides. You receive a signed agreement or a clear written impasse report.
Confluence Mediation also serves individuals and neighbors who can’t afford litigation. Landlord-tenant friction, family disagreements, and neighbor disputes are heard with the same Rule 31 standard of preparation — at no cost to either party.
