About Smith Mediation Center
Decades of legal experience. Compassionate, effective conflict resolution.
Our Mission
Smith Mediation Center was founded on the belief that conflict resolution should be accessible, affordable, and effective. Our attorneys have decades of experience and are ready to help you resolve conflicts before they go to court.
Whether in the workplace or at home, we are available to help you work towards a fair resolution in your dispute. We serve individuals, families, and small business owners in Michigan and Maryland.
Resolution of issues is most likely to occur when approached from a place of inner peace. That principle guides everything we do at SMC.
