Background

Recognized as one of the top mediators in the Midwest, Mr. Olander mediates disputes between parties in all areas of civil litigation including personal injury, insurance, products liability, employment, securities, professional malpractice, commercial litigation, real estate, construction and select family law matters.

Brett facilitates the resolution of disputes significantly faster and at a low cost, saving litigants from the uncertainties of trial and minimizing expenses.

Mr. Olander understands the best mediators must be able to facilitate communication between the parties, must be well versed in the applicable law, must have a strong command of the facts and must be able to develop and maintain a strong and trustworthy relationship with counsel and litigants. Brett prepares diligently for each mediation by thoroughly reviewing all information submitted and by listening to the parties. In the end, most mediations end with a settlement that meets the needs of all parties.
