When seasoned business attorney Ron Moss opened in Hastings-on-Hudson in 1998, he wanted to do it his way. After years of fighting the good fight, as many attorneys in business do, he went to social work school and decided that what people really need is understanding.

Many of his clients were small business owners or even large companies trying to finalize partnership and stockholder agreements. It seemed that if they could just sit down and listen to one another, they would find not only a sense of resolution to their problems, but a sense of peace.

He put the counseling skills, his Zen practice of many years, and his legal acumen to work, and started helping people resolve issues without going to court. Never a fan of lengthy court proceedings, Moss found that it was a win-win experience for all involved.

Now, mediation is his first line of action, and the community is responding. Scores of clients have spent half the time and money they would have spent in court, or with larger firms, and with complete closure, closure that lasts through the lifetime of their business or marriage or divorce or partnership.

This is because Mediation Works™!  Moss is using mediation between contractors and clients, business to business, family member to family member. They are coming up with agreements that last and that they all feel good about. And what is most impressive, the children, employees and or others involved are not suffering. Working with his wife of 14 years, Donna Moss, MA, LCSW, a therapist and writer, they have designed a 6-12 session program in which people can get support while they separate, change course, or make a life transition.

It is not “coaching” or “counseling” but practical, workable solutions and contracts for your real-life family and business needs.
