As a business owner or manager, you may know that the cost of hiring and training good employees is high. Keeping an employee that has the necessary knowledge to help your company thrive is always the preferred goal over replacement. Sometimes our employees experience conflicts with one another or with management. These conflicts may cause lower morale, less productivity or the threat of losing good employees. This is where conflict resolution is important. I am a third-party, unbiased professional that can listen to and respect all sides, offering solutions that may work for all parties, allowing lower turnover and less stress. The goal at the end of the session is to have a Memorandum of Agreement signed by all parties with clear terms and conditions.

Yes, on-site visits are acceptable for office and workplace conflicts. In fact, in many cases, this is the preferred method.
We provide mediation services for any and all types of workplace establishments but we have arbitration expertise in real estate and construction matters.
To schedule an appointment or get more information, contact info@southlouisianamediation.com or call 337-486-0491
Sessions may vary, however for the first session we allow a 3 hour time block. This includes an brief interview with all interested parties and one on one discussions with the "conflicting parties." Most matters come to resolution within 1-2 sessions, we do make every effort not to exceed three and can typically determine the time needed after the first meeting.
The idea of mediation is to get all parties involved to come up with a solution to the conflict together with the assistance of a qualified mediator. This process varies slightly depending on circumstances but in all situations, the certified mediator is a neutral party there to assist the parties in creating a meaningful and lasting solution.

South Louisiana Mediatin has an affiliated real estate brokerage named Thibodeaux Reed Realty. The brokerage fee is $150.00 per property.
*The property must be located in southern Louisiana and there could be additional fees for property outside of our service area.
When you choose our in-house brokerage to handle the valuation, all parties must agree to waive their right to outside appraisal. Parties may choose to have a third party appraisal done for each property. In that case, we require that you submit all appraisals you provide.
We have in-house civil law notaries who can handle the necessary documents and have them recorded in the required parishes. If outside legal advice is required, additional fees may apply.
The cost starts at $800.00 for small estates (containing fewer that 20 parcels). There are additional fees if you require our firm to do valuations, and there are additional fees paid to the surveyor when land is involved. All court filing fees are billed directly to you at the cost of the court, we do not add that cost. We bill what the clerk charges us depending on the parish, for additional information email us.
