Virtual Mediations

The Law Office of Amber Boles is making the adjustments to handle your family mediation needs. The changes affecting our daily lives are creating unique challenges for each of us to consider and overcome. Our office is committed providing continued stellar mediation services for all of our clients.

COMMUNICATIONS – Our office has implemented video & teleconferencing platforms to accommodate an enhanced and smooth transition to a virtual mediation environment. All forms of mediation, virtual and otherwise, demand confidentiality, security, and privacy. With our conferencing platforms we are able to offer face-to-face, securely connected video conferencing for your mediation session. Each video conference includes breakout rooms and the ability to share information privately with other attendees. It is not necessary for the virtual mediation participants to be at their attorney’s office.  Each virtual mediation attendees can be at an independent location or with their respective attorneys.

Each attendee can join the virtual mediation by providing an email address to accept the mediation invitation from their device (phone, tablet, laptop or computer).  The attendee’s device should be equipped with a camera, microphone and speaker. Our office is currently using ZOOM Video Conferencing for its video platform.  It is not necessary for the attendee to have a Zoom account. More Information …

EXECUTING AGREEMENTS – Virtual mediation participants are able to sign finalized Agreements remotely and track the signature progress in real time through DocuSign, a program provided by our office. DocuSign offers reliability, security, legal compliance, and privacy.  Attendees do not need a DocuSign account.  The mediator will email the Parties a link to accept the invitation to sign the Agreement via DocuSign. Recipients click a link to open the Agreement on an internet-enabled device (like a mobile phone, tablet, or computer). Tabs and simple instructions guide the user through the signing process. The recipient clicks Finish to save the signed document and they’re done. More Information …
