Areas of Practice

Businesses face legal decisions every day—some routine, others with significant financial and operational consequences. Whether you're forming a new company, negotiating an important agreement, managing employees, or resolving a dispute, sound legal advice can help protect your business, manage risk, and avoid costly mistakes.

At Overland Law & Mediation Firm, we believe effective legal representation begins with understanding our clients' businesses, objectives, and priorities. We explain legal issues in clear, practical terms and develop strategies aligned with our clients' goals.

Whether we are assisting with a single transaction or serving as outside general counsel, we provide practical, strategic legal advice that empowers our clients to make informed decisions.

We represent families in due process hearings, mediations, settlement negotiations, and other special education disputes involving:

• Failure to identify children eligible for special education services (Child Find)

• Failure to agree to Independent Educational Evaluations (IEEs)
• Inappropriate or insufficient Individualized Education Programs (IEPs)

Many disputes can be resolved without the time, expense, and uncertainty of litigation. Mediation provides parties with a confidential, voluntary process to resolve disputes with the assistance of a neutral third party.

At Overland Law & Mediation Firm, we provide mediation services designed to help parties communicate effectively, identify areas of agreement, and work toward practical, mutually acceptable resolutions. As a neutral mediator, we do not advocate for either party. Instead, we facilitate productive discussions and assist the parties in reaching their own informed agreements.

We provide mediation services in a variety of matters, including:

• Business and commercial disputes
• Employment disputes
• Divorce and family law matters
• Contract disputes
• Real estate disputes
• Other civil disputes appropriate for mediation

We provide practical legal advice, explain the legal implications of proposed terms, and work with our clients to develop agreements that are clear, comprehensive, and enforceable.
