Mike
Hanis has not only represented his clients in Mediation and Arbitration
Hearings, but has also been selected countless times
to serve as an Arbitrator to resolve disputes between other
parties and attorneys.
Mike is regularly appointed by the King County
Superior Court as the Arbitrator of Personal Injury, Commercial and
Construction matters, and has established a record of resolving such
matters fairly and efficiently, benefiting not only our busy Court
system, but also resulting in substantial savings to the clients whose
attorneys appear before him with their cases. Mike often
uses the mediation process in his own practice, especially on behalf
of his clients involved in construction and building disputes, real
estate, commercial, and eminent domain matters (condemnation cases).
Understanding the unique dynamics of Mediation/Arbitration can
often result in more favorable results to clients than even a successful
trial. Our attorneys clearly comprehend the strengths and weaknesses
of the process, and know how to achieve the best results for you. They are
also experienced trial lawyers, background that gives them credibility
in Mediation/Arbitration, both as advocates for their clients, and
as neutral facilitators of decisions and settlement.
SPECIAL
NOTE TO ATTORNEYS:
In addition to the experience Mike can
bring as a professional neutral, our office facilities have also
been specifically designed to allow efficient and fair hearings.
The parking here is ample and free. Even if you practice
in Seattle or Tacoma, it is often more convenient for attorneys to
hold their clients' Mediation and Arbitration hearings here,
than in a large City. And if you haven't visited Kent recently,
you're in for a treat - new downtown shopping malls, and many
fine new restaurants.
Our reasonable rates may surprise you, as compared
to what you will often pay for comparable services in Seattle,
Tacoma, or the Eastside. If we are given the opportunity
to serve you, you have our commitment that we will be scrupulously
fair, will treat you and your clients with respect, and will never
act in a manner which will harm your client's level of respect for
your abilities and the quality of your services.
Give us a
try!
