Private Business & Commercial Dispute Resolution

Litigation & Dispute Resolution Mediators: Here for You

Ryan McFarland and Eric Ritter are professional mediators who serve Boise and the greater Treasure Valley, helping businesses and litigants resolve disputes efficiently and confidentially. They work with attorneys and their clients who want a practical path toward resolution without the uncertainty, expense, and time commitment of continued litigation.
As experienced trial attorneys, they each bring a deep understanding of Idaho law, courtroom realities, and the pressures litigants face. They focus on facilitating productive dialogue, identifying risks, and helping parties explore realistic settlement options, while always respecting the strengths and weaknesses of each side’s position.
Mediation is not about forcing compromise. It’s about creating space for candid discussion, thoughtful negotiation, and informed decision-making. They take a hands-on but neutral approach, helping parties move forward while maintaining full control over the outcome.
Our mediations are available in person or via Zoom, with flexible scheduling to accommodate busy litigation calendars.
