Dealing with legal issues, whether personal or corporate, can be challenging both emotionally and financially for everyone involved. The stress associated with these matters can be alleviated with the support of an experienced lawyer who also serves as a mediator. The advantage of this approach is that many legal disputes can often be resolved without going to court or even before a case is formally filed.

You can entrust your dispute to me, Paul M. Storment III, an attorney with more than 30 years of experience. Based in Belleville, I can provide mediation services to people and companies who are facing lawsuits or other conflicts throughout Southern Illinois. In addition, these services can be accomplished either in person or electronically (via Zoom, or Google Meet).

The mediation segment of my practice includes:

• Family Disputes (parental responsibility, parenting time, divorce or post-divorce issues)

• Personal Injury cases (e.g. vehicle accidents, slip and falls, and premises liability)

• Contract disputes

• Will Contests or contested Guardianships for minors or disabled adults

• Employment cases (e.g. Racial and Sexual Harassment, wage disputes, and illegal termination)

• Landlord/Tenant disputes (either residential or commercial)

• Work Place Disputes (job disharmony, employee conflicts, or management/employee discord)
