Tim Mordaunt feels truly honored and privileged when people in conflict invite him in to assist with their very painful and private lives. Mr. Mordaunt is a natural optimist, an experienced attorney and a professional mediator who has developed "people and listening skills" to help people resolve issues creatively, effectively, and amicably.
Admitted to practice law in New York State in 1988, Tim Mordaunt has developed his skills as a general practitioner in the following areas: criminal defense, business and corporate law, estate/probate law, real estate law, landlord/tenant law, and matrimonial and family law. Practical experience in these various areas of law provide Mr. Mordaunt with the well-rounded knowledge to assist people in a variety of conflict situations.
In addition to this extensive experience with various legal conflicts and solutions, Tim Mordaunt earned his B.A. in Psychology and Sociology in 1974 and completed his course work for his Ph.D. in Sociology in 1978. Mr. Mordaunt also worked as a high school counselor and psychology teacher at The Nichols School from 1978 - 1983.
Mediation brings all the above experiences together in a way that helps Tim Mordaunt to help others resolve their conflicts in a way that is mutually satisfactory. Mr. Mordaunt was initially trained in matrimonial and family mediation in 1995, and has constantly honed his skills through further mediation training from the U.S. Postal Service REDRESS Mediation Task Force and the Better Business Bureau Dispute Settlement Center. In addition, Mr. Mordaunt has taught courses in mediation for Cornell University. Mr. Mordaunt is also a board member of the New York State Council On Divorce Mediation.
Mediation is a voluntary, cooperative settlement process in which a neutral professional helps you make practical, informed decisions to resolve your differences. The decisions you reach are guided by the law, and limited only by your creativity and imagination. Tim Mordaunt believes the answers reside within you, and it is his mission and pledge as your mediator to help you discover these answers. It takes great courage to select mediation, to meet in the same room and discuss difficult issues with the person whom you no longer communicate very well with. The natural inclination today is for people to call "their attorney".
Discourage litigation. Persuade your neighbors to compromise whenever you can. Point out to them how the nominal winner is often a real loser in fees, expenses and a waste of time. --Abraham Lincoln, 1850
Tim Mordaunt's analogy for the legal compromise process, and search for an acceptable level of dissatisfaction is as follows:
A person puts their left foot in a bucket of boiling water, and their right foot in a bucket of ice water, and proclaims, on average, I feel O.K.
Mediation offers a viable and effective alternative to litigation.
