What we can work on together
Online mediation in Alabama: common questions
Yes. Private mediation is voluntary and the participants choose the mediator, so business partners and teams in Alabama can mediate with Dr. Conflicts by Zoom or Google Meet. Sapir Saadon is certified by the Florida Supreme Court and is not on Alabama court rosters, so if a Alabama court has ordered mediation, check whether it requires a mediator from its own list.
Alabama's statute keeps a mediator from being compelled to testify about a mediation or to produce its documents, except as the court mediation rules permit. It doesn't address what the parties themselves disclose, so in private mediation confidentiality is typically set out in the written agreement to mediate. Ask an Alabama attorney if it matters to your situation.
Yes. Every session is online, so location within Alabama doesn't matter. Alabama uses Central time, and sessions are scheduled in your local time.
No. Mediation and conflict coaching are not legal representation, and Dr. Conflicts does not give legal advice. When legal rights, contracts or formal claims are involved, each side should have its own attorney.

Important to know
Mediation is not legal representation. Dr. Conflicts does not provide legal advice, does not represent either participant, and does not replace consultation with an attorney. Participants are encouraged to seek independent legal advice when legal rights, obligations, court filings, or formal agreements are involved.
