What should attorneys submit before mediation?

+

Confidential mediation statements and any documents necessary to understand the issues. These can be uploaded securely through the scheduling page or your TidyCal booking confirmation so Judge Inselmann can review the case in advance.

Are mediation statements confidential?

+

Yes. All mediation communications are confidential as provided by Texas law (Chapter 154). Statements and documents you submit are reviewed only by Judge Inselmann.

May parties participate by Zoom?

+

Yes. Judge Inselmann conducts Zoom mediations throughout Texas, with the same preparation, professionalism, and confidentiality as an in-person session, including private breakout rooms for confidential caucuses.

Can mediations continue beyond the scheduled time?

+

Yes, when all parties agree and scheduling permits. Additional time is billed at $300 per hour, divided equally among the parties unless otherwise agreed.

Does Judge Inselmann travel?

+

Yes. Travel mediations are available by agreement. His primary office is in Lufkin, and he is available to travel throughout Texas by arrangement.

How and when are fees paid?

+

Online payment is available through the website by credit card, ACH/electronic payment, or law firm check. Payment is due prior to mediation unless other arrangements have been made.

What is the cancellation policy?

+

More than fourteen days before mediation there is no cancellation fee. Fourteen days or less, one-half of the fee may be charged unless the time is filled. Within forty-eight hours, the full fee may be charged.

What types of cases does Judge Inselmann mediate?

+

A broad range of civil litigation — including personal injury, insurance, commercial, construction, and oil and gas disputes — as well as family law matters such as divorce, conservatorship, child support, and property division.
