With a passion for alternative dispute resolution, Gary has committed his practice to mediation, helping parties reach agreements that work for them.

Why Mediate?
Mediation is a powerful tool for resolving disputes, especially in family law matters. By choosing mediation, you and the other party can take control of the outcome, save money, and expedite the process. Nearly every judge requires mediation prior to going to court for temporary or permanent relief. A mediated settlement stops attorney fees and costs, allowing you to decide how the case is resolved. You can have certainty and finality, and it's much quicker than waiting for a trial date.
Our Services
At Gary Urso Mediation, we offer high-quality, low-fee mediation services for family law matters, including divorce, child custody, child support, alimony, and division of property and debt. We also mediate dependency cases, appeals, county, and small claims cases. Our commitment is to provide personalized attention, tailored to your specific needs and goals.
