Mediation typically costs a fraction of litigation — and keeps the outcome in the hands of the parties, not a judge.
Business & contract

Business and contract dispute mediation.

Business disputes — partnership disagreements, breach of contract, vendor conflicts, commercial debt — are among the most disruptive and costly conflicts a company can face. Litigation is slow, expensive, and public. Mediation is the opposite: fast, affordable, and fully confidential.

April McCalmont brings 25+ years of executive business experience to business mediation — understanding not just the legal dimensions of a dispute, but the operational and relational stakes that make resolution so important. She works with small businesses, entrepreneurs, LLCs, and commercial parties across Austin, the Texas Hill Country, Pagosa Springs, and virtually in Oregon and Washington.

  • Partnership and co-founder disputes
  • Breach of contract and vendor conflicts
  • Commercial lease and property disputes
  • Business dissolution and buyout disagreements
  • Customer and client disputes
  • Intellectual property and non-compete conflicts

April's differentiator

25+
years as a global HR executive, including Chief People Officer
I/O
Psychology background applied to negotiation and conflict dynamics
No mediator in the Hill Country brings a deeper HR foundation to workplace disputes. This is April's strongest specialty.
Workplace & employment

Workplace and employment mediation.

Workplace conflicts — between employers and employees, managers and teams, or co-workers — are uniquely complex. They involve not just legal exposure but ongoing relationships, organizational culture, and the kind of interpersonal dynamics that rarely resolve well in a courtroom.

This is April's deepest area of expertise. With 25+ years as a global HR executive and a background in industrial-organizational psychology, she understands workplace conflict at every level — from frontline disputes to executive-level situations — and brings a credentialed mediator's neutrality to every session.

  • Employer-employee disputes and termination conflicts
  • Workplace harassment and discrimination claims
  • Manager-employee relationship breakdowns
  • Team and co-worker conflicts
  • Wage and compensation disputes
  • Return-to-work and accommodation disagreements

  • Auto and motor vehicle accidents
  • Slip, trip, and fall claims

growing construction market across Austin, Lakeway, and the Hill Country
Construction disputes in the Texas Hill Country are increasingly common as development accelerates. Mediation is faster and far less expensive than construction litigation.

  • General contractor and subcontractor payment disputes
  • Construction defect and warranty claims
  • Homeowner and builder conflicts
  • Project delay and cost overrun disputes
  • Lien and bond claim conflicts

Why mediation works here

Private
fully confidential — nothing goes on the public record
Neighbor and HOA disputes often involve people who will continue living near each other. Mediation preserves relationships in ways litigation never can.
Neighbor & HOA

Neighbor and HOA dispute mediation.

Disputes between neighbors — over property boundaries, trees, noise, fences, or HOA rules — are among the most emotionally charged conflicts people face. Unlike business disputes, these involve people who may live next to each other for years. The goal isn't just resolution — it's a resolution people can live with.

Mediation is particularly well-suited for neighbor and HOA disputes because it's confidential, non-adversarial, and keeps the parties in control of the outcome. No court date, no public record, no judge deciding who wins.

  • Property boundary and fence disputes
  • Tree, landscaping, and easement conflicts
  • Noise and nuisance complaints
  • HOA rule enforcement disagreements
  • Shared amenity and common area disputes

Sliding scale available for qualifying cases. Mediation is often the most cost-effective path for smaller civil and debt disputes.
Debt & consumer

Debt and consumer dispute mediation.

Debt collection disputes, consumer-merchant conflicts, and small claims matters don't always need an attorney or a courtroom — and for many people, the cost of litigation far exceeds the amount in dispute. Mediation offers a faster, more affordable path to resolution.

ResolveTogether Mediation handles debt and consumer disputes for individuals and small businesses across Texas, Colorado, and virtually in Oregon and Washington — with flat-rate fees and a sliding scale for qualifying cases.

  • Debt collection and repayment disputes
  • Consumer and merchant conflicts
