Isabel de la Riva

I am a mediator with 24 years of trial experience in civil litigation, from personal injury to business law to family law. My background in handling cases gives me an edge on many mediators who haven't been in the trenches with their clients.
I am fully bilingual in Spanish.
I have handled everything from small claims cases to multi-million dollar claims and have a degree in psychology. I am able to effectively communicate with all parties to get the best resolution for their case.
I offer both in-person and zoom mediations.

Q. An Attorney represents you in Mediation, aren't the contents/files protected from inclusion later in legal Malpractice?

May 20, 2024

A: Mediations tend to work because of the open communication they allow by the confidentiality rules. Claims and offers made during a mediation cannot be used as evidence if mediation fails. A mediator can only confirm there was a mediation but cannot be made to testify regarding facts/claims in the case.
