Focused Mediation Services for Life’s Most Difficult Disputes

Resolvit provides professional mediation services for individuals and businesses seeking efficient, cost-conscious solutions in divorce and post-decree matters, landlord-tenant conflicts, employment disputes, and contract disagreements. We approach every matter with neutrality and a steady, structured process designed to produce practical agreements that hold up outside the mediation room.

Divorce & Post-Decree Mediation

Divorce and post-divorce matters often require thoughtful resolution without escalating conflict. Mediation allows couples to address property division, parenting plans, support modifications, and other contested issues in a professional setting designed to reduce cost and stress while reaching workable agreements.
Landlord / Tenant Disputes

Disagreements over lease terms, property conditions, payment obligations, or contract compliance can escalate quickly. Mediation provides a structured forum where both parties can clarify responsibilities, address grievances, and work toward fair, documented resolutions.
Employment Disputes

Workplace conflicts between employers and employees can disrupt operations and strain professional relationships. Mediation offers a neutral environment to address grievances, clarify expectations, and develop practical agreements that protect both sides from prolonged litigation.
Contract
Disputes

When business agreements break down, mediation helps parties interpret obligations, assess misunderstandings, and negotiate structured solutions before disputes become costly court battles.

A Steady Hand When the Stakes Feel Personal

(Even When You're Facing Court-Ordered Mediation in Colorado)

Conflict rarely shows up at a convenient time. Whether you’re working through a divorce, a business disagreement, or a dispute with someone you once trusted, the situation can become personal fast. In those moments, you need more than paperwork and procedures. You need an advocate who can keep the conversation calm, focused, and moving forward.

That’s the role Resolvit plays.

James founded Resolvit after decades of leadership experience helping people navigate complex, high-pressure decisions. Bringing both legal training and a real-world perspective, this background enhances mediation by offering experience from over 100 cases mediated in Colorado courts and with the District Attorney’s Office. At Resolvit, we understand how disputes unfold and how to guide people toward practical agreements that actually work in everyday life.

Our approach is straightforward: listen carefully, clarify what matters most, and help both sides reach solutions they can stand behind. No theatrics. No unnecessary conflict. Just a professional, respectful process designed to help you resolve the issue and move on.

Because mediation works best when you feel heard, prepared, and supported at every step.

Testimonials

“When I made the difficult decision to file for divorce, I was overwhelmed and unsure how we would sort everything out—especially with two young children and a mountain of debt between us. My ex was deeply resistant to the idea of divorce and even more hesitant about mediation. But from our very first session with James at Resolvit, I knew we were in capable hands.

James created a calm and respectful environment, even when emotions ran high. Over the course of just two sessions, we were able to agree on a parenting plan—including holiday schedules and healthy boundaries for future relationships—divide $34,000 in debt fairly and even negotiate child and spousal support. I ultimately accepted a reduced spousal support arrangement because James helped us build a long-term solution where my ex covers 100% of our children’s healthcare.

Most importantly, we walked away with a complete and court-approved divorce agreement for just $1,500—far less than the $15,000+ most people spend in Colorado when hiring attorneys.

Resolvit didn’t just save us money—it helped us preserve peace and dignity for the sake of our children. I can’t thank James enough.”

“[You] helped mediate some conversations between myself and my previous employer around a year ago. While mediation was ultimately unsuccessful in its original goal, it was very helpful for me personally to help me choose myself and move on.

Over the last year, I spent a couple of months working with lions, tigers, bears (oh my), cheetahs and wolves at a different sanctuary in Colorado, and have now landed in Canada and am working directly with over 70 wolfdogs!”

— Mike G.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do we have to be in person or come to CS office?

No – most mediations are done via Zoom for ease of conflict and time efficient. I thing this factor needs to be highlighted across the site because clients really like the efficiency of saving the time to go to a location and in most cases not have to be in the same room. At Resolvit we offer both in person and zoom with 99% of my clients opting for zoom.

Is mediation legally binding?

Yes. When parties reach an agreement, the terms are memorialized in writing and signed. In most civil and family matters, these agreements can be filed with the court and become legally enforceable.

How much does mediation cost?

Resolvit Mediations charges $250 per hour, typically divided between the parties unless otherwise agreed. Most cases resolve in a fraction of the time—and cost—of traditional litigation. In addition, the fee is typically split between the two parties.

Compared to attorney retainers that often begin at several thousand dollars, mediation is a highly cost-effective solution.

Why is mediation better than going to court?

Litigation is adversarial, expensive, public, and often slow. Mediation is:

• Private and confidential
• Faster
• More affordable
• Less emotionally draining
• Focused on collaborative problem-solving

Court imposes decisions. Mediation empowers you to create your own.

What if we don’t reach an agreement?

If mediation does not result in settlement, parties retain all rights to pursue litigation or arbitration. There is no downside risk—only the opportunity to resolve the matter efficiently before incurring greater legal expense.

Do I still need an attorney?

Mediation does not replace legal advice. Parties are encouraged to consult independent counsel before signing any final agreement. Many clients use mediation to reach settlement, then have attorneys review the agreement before filing.
