Mediator

Heidi Risser became a DRC Certified Family Financial Mediator in November of 2014, and since 2016 she has served on the Fee Dispute Committee for the Mecklenburg County Bar as a volunteer fee dispute mediator.  Since 2014, Ms. Risser has helped families mediate their family law matters.  Parties may hire her privately, or Ms. Risser may be appointed by the court as a mediator.  The benefits of mediation are many.  It is private, confidential, self-scheduled and the mediator acts as a neutral working toward settlement.  The parties may represent themselves or bring their attorneys.  Mediation can be a highly effective tool, if your goal is to avoid a protracted and expensive court battle.
