You have a voice in your conflict resolution
Mediation Services, Family Law & Business Attorneys
At our core, we believe that mediation is a powerful tool that can help parties achieve a mutually satisfactory outcome. The Smythe & Jones team understands that conflicts can be stressful, time-consuming, and expensive, and that traditional legal proceedings can exacerbate these problems. That’s why we offer mediation as a better alternative, which can be more efficient, cost-effective, and less confrontational.
Experienced Professionals Committed to Finding Effective Solutions
Our Mediation team strives to help parties focus on their fundamental needs and priorities, and seek out and encourage common ground in order to arrive at a satisfactory settlement.
Our mediators have diverse backgrounds and expertise in a variety of legal areas. We go beyond simple facilitation, to explore the parties’ positions, raise questions, conduct reality testing, and focus the participants on the potential strengths and weaknesses of their case.
We approach each case with an open mind and strive to create a safe and supportive environment for all parties involved. Our team will listen carefully to their concerns and help them communicate effectively with one another, so they can identify their underlying interests and work together to find a resolution that meets everyone’s needs.

Happy Clients
“After being represented by a previous attorney for 8 years for a business purchase gone wrong, I decided to hire Jordan. She was able to assist in negotiating an amicable settlement, saving me thousands of dollars and avoiding trial, in a short amount of time. My only regret is that I didn’t hire her sooner!”

“I had a difficult paternity issue that was ruining my life. I needed someone who knew what to do and address my issues. Stacey was there for me and resolved everything in such a way, that I would recommend her to anyone! She is smart, knows the law and is responsive. She’s the best attorney I’ve ever worked with.”
Tamara
“We sought legal advice for a residential contractor issue, and easily settled on Ms. Jones as our legal consult. I have personally spent many hours working with a fair number of lawyers for patent prosecution, and know a great lawyer when I experience one. Ms. Jones delivered by quickly responding with expert knowledge, professionalism, and respectfulness. I endorse her for your legal needs!”
