Business & Corporate Attorneys
An effective mediator wears many hats, but they come in two primary styles: facilitative and evaluative. Attorney Jim Richardson wears both well.
As a mediator, Jim Richardson understands that your dispute should only be settled on your terms. He uses many skills and techniques to help facilitate a resolution that you can live with, but it is your settlement according to your terms.
He also calls upon over 40 years of experience representing plaintiffs and defendants in a broad variety of matters in State and Federal Court. Jim has been involved in a broad spectrum of cases, from personal injury and insurance to business and employment, from malpractice to trade secrets. Jim has a unique depth of experience that allows him to give you an accurate and frank assessment of the issues and their likely outcome in your case, and to assist you in reaching a reasonable resolution.
Jim Richardson has attended multiple courses, training him to serve as a Mediator in the State of Alabama. He has served Mediator and as an advocate for his clients in mediation for nearly 20 years. Jim is listed on the Alabama State Court Mediation Roster. He adheres to the Alabama Code of Ethics for Mediators and its standards regarding a mediator’s responsibilities to the court, the mediation process, self-determination, impartiality and conflicts of interest, confidentiality, professional advice, fees and expenses, training and education, advertising and solicitation, prohibited agreements, and the advancement of mediation.
