Lavdiotis Mediation
A mediator who gets your case settled
WE HAVE "RE-WIRED"
Dear Trusted Clients:
After providing mediation services since 1994 and practicing law since 1980, we have decided to shut down our mediation practice.
Over the past 32 years, we have mediated over 8,000 disputes and have thoroughly enjoyed working with so many excellent and dedicated professionals and their clients. It has been a tremendous run, and it is simply time to shut it down!
I'll continue to coach men's varsity basketball at San Marin High School, as I am entering my 33rd year of high school coaching. San Marin won the D5 State Championship in March of 2026.
Thank you for the opportunity to have served you. Mediation is a people business, and all of you have enriched my life with your different perspectives and life experiences.
All the best of fortune to everyone. Make it a great day!
- Chris
