Our Practice
What defines us, and sets us apart
Experience That Delivers Results
Experience matters in mediation—and ours is measured in outcomes. With thousands of cases handled across domestic, corporate, and complex civil disputes, The Hutson Mediation Firm maintains a 96% settlement rate, even in matters where resolution initially appeared unlikely.
Our mediators are not simply facilitators; they are seasoned attorneys and negotiation specialists with deep expertise in conflict resolution and alternative dispute resolution. We understand the legal, financial, emotional, and strategic dynamics that drive disputes—and we know how to bring those forces into alignment to achieve durable, enforceable resolutions.
This depth of experience allows us to quickly identify pressure points, assess risk, and guide parties toward practical solutions that withstand scrutiny from courts, clients, insurers, and stakeholders alike. When parties need results—not theater—experience makes the difference.
Mediation Without Geographic Limits
Our state-of-the-art virtual mediation rooms eliminate distance without sacrificing professionalism, security, or control. Attorneys, clients, insurance adjusters, experts, and staff can participate from anywhere—so long as they have a smartphone, computer, and internet connection.
Participants seamlessly join secure virtual conference rooms that integrate directly with our traditional brick-and-mortar mediation spaces. Whether parties are across town or across the country, everyone is brought together in real time, with the same structure, confidentiality, and procedural integrity expected of an in-person mediation.
This flexibility allows cases to move forward without travel delays, scheduling bottlenecks, or unnecessary expense—while preserving the seriousness and effectiveness of the mediation process. The result is faster access, broader participation, and resolutions that happen when the parties are ready—not when logistics allow.
H.E.R.M.A.N.™ — Litigation Prediction Modeling, Refined by Human Judgment
H.E.R.M.A.N.™—the HutsonOffinity Experimental Rostrum Mainframe Artificial Neuronet—is a proprietary AI-driven litigation analysis and prediction platform designed to support and enhance human decision-making.
H.E.R.M.A.N. rapidly evaluates thousands of variables to generate Litigation Prediction Models (LPMs), including procedural posture, jurisdictional considerations, evidentiary risk, historical outcomes, timing, cost exposure, and negotiation dynamics. These models provide a data-driven framework for understanding how a case may unfold under various scenarios.
Importantly, H.E.R.M.A.N. does not make decisions, render opinions, or dictate outcomes. Every analysis is filtered, interpreted, and applied by our experienced mediation professionals. The thinking remains human. The judgment remains human. H.E.R.M.A.N. simply and exponentially expands the field of view—surfacing risks, opportunities, and pathways that might otherwise remain unseen.
When used thoughtfully, H.E.R.M.A.N. enhances negotiation by grounding discussions in reality, helping parties move beyond speculation and toward informed, durable resolution. It is a modern analytical tool applied to a centuries-old profession—bringing advanced technology to the service of sound legal judgment and effective dispute resolution.
