About Us |
|
United States Arbitration & Mediation of Oregon, Inc. (USA&M of Oregon) has made its specialty the effective administration of mediations and arbitrations. We provide impartial administrative and consulting services and offer a panel of approximately 30 well-respected attorneys and senior judges with experience in ADR and proven track records. Since opening in 1989, USA&M of Oregon has successfully administered thousands of mediations and arbitrations.
Our role is not to act as a legal representative for any party, but to provide impartial administrative and consulting services. Our experienced case manager can provide information about a mediator’s style, personal background and settlement rates. The case manager can also provide references about attorneys or parties who have worked with a mediator so you can gather further information on panel members. With our administrative services, when the parties and the mediator sit down at the session, they do so with a clean slate and the mediator is not biased by impressions left by preliminary negotiations. USA&M of Oregon’s services include: · Approaching the other party to see if they are favorable to ADR – the administrative fee is nominal and no fee is charged unless all parties agree to a session; · coordinating the date and the time of the session – no need to have your office use their time to make phone calls back and forth. If a case needs to be rescheduled – simply give us a call and we will handle all the scheduling details; · helping the parties to select a neutral from the USA&M of Oregon panel – we can assist in matching the right mediator to the case by providing useful information about our panel; · finding a neutral location to hold the session, including our suite of conference rooms in downtown Portland; · and helping parties to reach fee agreements.

OREGON COURT FEES INCREASE
Oregon court filing fees increased in October, with multiple-party cases seeing particularly dramatic changes. An Oregonian article cites the example of a construction suit with more than 30 parties which cost $189 to file in September, but would cost more than $13,000 today. Call us at (503) 223-2671 to set up an Arbitration or Mediation instead. |
