Mediation That Stops Lawsuits in Their Tracks
Whether you're an individual facing a creditor lawsuit or a business navigating a commercial dispute, we offer a structured, flat-fee path to resolution — without a trial.
One Process. Two Paths. Real Results.
Civil litigation is expensive, unpredictable, and slow. A judgment against you can mean wage garnishment, frozen bank accounts, and damaged credit for years. Stop Lawsuits exists to prevent that outcome.
Our mediation services are designed for two distinct situations: individuals dealing with consumer debt lawsuits, and businesses facing commercial disputes. Both paths follow the same proven process — and both come with a flat fee so you know exactly what you're paying.
For individuals
Facing a Creditor Lawsuit?
Credit card debt, medical bills, personal loans — when a creditor sues, you have options beyond default judgment.
Most people served with a civil lawsuit don't respond — and that silence becomes a default judgment. We file a formal Answer to the Complaint, enter structured settlement negotiations, and work to resolve the debt on terms you can actually afford. In many cases, we can negotiate the debt down significantly and structure payments over time — with no judgment ever entered.
Answer the Complaint
We file a formal legal response to stop the default judgment clock and preserve your rights.
Negotiate the Debt
We work directly with the plaintiff's counsel to reduce the balance and structure affordable payments.
Binding Settlement
Once terms are agreed, we document the settlement — no judgment entered, no public record of a loss.
Buy Critical Time
The mediation process typically takes 3–6 months, giving you time to stabilize your finances.
$1,000–$2,500 flat fee
Covers everything except the court filing fee. No hourly billing. No surprises.
For businesses
Commercial Disputes Without the Courtroom
Vendor conflicts, contract disputes, partnership disagreements — litigation is rarely the best answer for business.
Business litigation is costly in more ways than one. Beyond legal fees, it consumes management time, strains relationships, and creates uncertainty that affects operations. Our commercial mediation service brings both parties to the table in a confidential, structured process designed to reach a binding resolution — faster and cheaper than going to trial.
Neutral Facilitation
An experienced mediator guides both parties toward a mutually acceptable resolution.
Confidential Process
Everything discussed in mediation is confidential — it cannot be used against you in court.
Faster Resolution
Most commercial mediations resolve in weeks, not the months or years of litigation.
Dramatically Lower Cost
Flat-fee mediation costs a fraction of what litigation fees would run for the same dispute.
$3,500–$5,000 flat fee
Covers the full mediation process for both parties. No hourly rates. No retainer surprises.
