The spiraling costs of discovery and trial have resulted in parties bringing their disputes to Girvin & Ferlazzo as an alternative to mediation/arbitration forums.

The firm’s practice leader, Salvatore D. Ferlazzo, has served as an Early Evaluation Mediator in the United States District court for the Northern District of New York since 2004.  He has settled numerous cases and is frequently requested by both plaintiff and defense attorneys.

Mr. Ferlazzo uses this experience, and his experience as a law clerk at the State’s highest appeals court, to provide mediation and arbitration services to attorneys and litigants.
