Your local mediator

Lakeway's business and civil mediator.

When disputes arise in Lakeway — between business partners, employers and employees, contractors and property owners, or neighbors — litigation is rarely the fastest or most affordable path to resolution. Mediation is.

April McCalmont is a TMCA Credentialed Mediator based in Lakeway, TX, offering professional mediation services to individuals, businesses, and attorneys throughout the community and surrounding Hill Country area. With 25+ years of HR leadership experience and a background in industrial-organizational psychology, April brings a uniquely human approach to conflict resolution — one that goes beyond legal frameworks to address the dynamics that actually keep disputes from settling.

Whether you're a Lakeway business owner dealing with a contract dispute, an employer navigating a workplace conflict, or an individual working through a civil matter, mediation offers a faster, more private, and far less expensive alternative to court — and you don't need an attorney to use it.

Common questions

What Lakeway residents ask about mediation.

Do I need an attorney to use mediation in Lakeway?

No. While attorneys are welcome and often participate in mediation, you don't need legal representation to schedule or attend a session. Many individuals and small business owners in Lakeway choose mediation precisely because it offers a direct, affordable path to resolution without requiring legal counsel on both sides.

How is mediation different from going to court?

In court, a judge decides the outcome. In mediation, you and the other party control the resolution — with a neutral mediator facilitating the conversation. Mediation is typically faster, less expensive, and completely confidential. Nothing said in mediation can be used in court if the case doesn't settle.

How long does a mediation session take?

Most business and civil matters in Lakeway resolve in a half-day (4 hours) or full-day (8 hours) session. Simpler matters may settle in a short session of 2–3 hours. April will discuss the likely time frame during your free consultation.

Can we meet in person or does it have to be virtual?

Both options are available at the same rate. In-person sessions can be arranged at a mutually agreed location in the Lakeway or Austin area. Virtual sessions are conducted via Zoom and work well for most case types.

What if we don't reach an agreement?

If mediation doesn't result in a settlement, everything that was said remains fully confidential and cannot be used in subsequent legal proceedings. You've lost nothing by trying — and many parties find that even an unsuccessful mediation session clarifies the issues and makes later resolution easier.
