Common questions

Before you reach out.

  • Do I need to share names or dispute details to start?

    No. Start with your contact details and the general type of matter. If the inquiry moves forward, we explain how to provide the names needed for a conflict check.

  • What kinds of matters do you mediate?

    Legal matters referred by attorneys, such as employment, commercial, and civil disputes. We also mediate workplace conflict for employers, HR leaders, counsel, and the employees involved.

  • What if my matter is not on your list?

    Ask. We will tell you plainly whether it is one we should take. If another process should come first, a brief conversation can clarify the right sequence.

  • Who is the mediator?

    Sheri L. Mooney, a licensed New York attorney with more than 20 years of experience. She holds a Professional Mediation Certification from the Cornell ILR Scheinman Institute and is a member of the American Bar Association Dispute Resolution Section.

  • Does the mediator represent either side?

    No. In every mediation, Sheri remains neutral. She does not represent any participant, give legal advice, or decide the outcome.

  • How long is a mediation session?

    Most matters are booked for a half-day or full-day session, depending on complexity. Sessions can be in person or virtual.

  • How are fees and scheduling set?

    After a brief inquiry and a conflict check, we confirm availability and terms. That covers session length, format, travel, preparation, and cancellation. Nothing is scheduled before the terms are clear.

  • Do you work with clients outside New York?

    Yes. We mediate nationwide, in person and virtually, from our base in Western New York.

  • Which industries have you worked with?

    Across nearly three decades, Sheri has worked with healthcare, banking and finance, education, technology, construction, government, and many other industries. Organizations range from small businesses and start-ups to public agencies and not-for-profits.

  • How can I prepare for mediation?

    Free guides are on the Legal Mediation and Workplace Mediation pages. They cover preparing to refer a matter, what to expect at a mediation, choosing a workplace mediator, and how employees can prepare. Our articles go deeper on each topic.

  • Where is the office?

    The office is at 17 Birdsong Parkway in Orchard Park, New York 14127. You can reach it at 716.932.8566.
