“I first met Joe when he conducted one of my mediations. He was a delight to have as the mediator, providing a voice of reason in conjunction with a demeanor of tranquility. I appreciated that he remained in a neutral and attentive posture throughout the mediation. Since that time, I have witnessed him in courtroom practice for several years. His experience and his demonstrated knowledge of multiple areas of the law qualify him as an excellent candidate for mediation, legal consultation, and legal representation.” – R.W.
Mediation & Arbitration
A Faster, More Private Path to Resolution
Not every dispute needs to end in a courtroom. Mediation and Arbitration offer a faster, more private, and often less expensive alternative to traditional litigation, and Joseph M. Dobkin brings a rare combination of credentials to the table as both a practicing attorney and a certified neutral.

Mediation vs. Arbitration: What’s the Difference?
- Mediation. A neutral facilitator helps both sides negotiate their own voluntary agreement. Nothing is decided for you, and either party can walk away.
- Arbitration. A neutral arbitrator hears both side and issues a decision, which may be binding, depending on the agreement between the parties.
Why Choose Mediation or Arbitration?
- Faster resolution than traditional litigation
- Lower overall cost than a full trial
- Private proceedings, outside the public court record
- Greater control over the outcome for both parties
