About

The Mission of the Mediation Office of Kevin C. Coleman is to cost effectively settle disputes.  We achieve this by bringing the sides together; listening to each side, helping each define their needs and interests and helping each understand how the other side can be satisfied while still meeting their own needs.

Kevin is a mediator, who finds tremendous personal satisfaction in helping people resolve their disputes.  These can be anyone from lawyers representing their clients in personal injury lawsuits, to two neighbors who have a boundary, tree or noise dispute.  Kevin knows that a tremendous amount of resources are spent in litigating a dispute and thus, likes to help all sides save the time, energy and money expended in lawsuits by settling disputes in a less formal and quicker forum than the courtroom.

Kevin first worked as a neutral in 1996 when called by the Marin County Superior Court to work as Judge Pro Tem at settlement conferences.  Ironically, it was the tremendous satisfaction that the parties had with Kevin’s work in settling cases that inspired Kevin to make mediation his full-time profession.  Of course it was very gratifying to Kevin to hear how satisfied the parties were with his work in helping bring resolution to their lawsuit.  Thereafter, Kevin engaged in extensive mediation and communication training to help him in his quest to help people resolve their disputes.

Kevin has settled a wide variety of cases.  Having practiced in personal injury fields he gets contacted often by both insurance defense attorneys and plaintiff attorneys to mediate their cases.  In addition to helping lawyers and their clients settle many other types of cases, he also helps individuals settle their disputes such as easement, boundary, noise and tree issues.  Kevin gets special satisfaction helping families in estate disputes resolve their differences.
