Anna Niemann, Esq.
“I have worked with many mediators, and Anna is one of the best I’ve ever come across. There was an intensely emotional overlay to the case, both parties were dug in and stubborn, settlement discussions had made zero progress, and the parties were mediating only because the Court required it. Anna read the room, understood exactly what was needed, dealt with the parties’ issues with intelligence and sensitivity, and moved mountains. I thank and applaud her for her excellent assistance.”
- James Severson
“Anna is a featured attorney/mediator on Mediation.com and we highly recommend her services.”

Are You Struggling To Resolve A Civil Dispute?
Conflict often seems inevitable, and sometimes it is. But solutions are out there. It is my job as your mediator to help both parties come together and identify enough common ground or compromise to reach a solution without having to go to court.
I have extensive experience across a wide number of civil matters, especially those that are being (or might be) litigated in court. Whether you are struggling over a personal injury claim, a real estate transaction, a contract dispute, or a professional liability claim you deserve a fair chance to reach a solution without the burden of a full trial – which is exactly what I offer.
A Calm, Clear Voice For Dispute Resolution
Over three decades of trial, litigation, and settlement conference experience, I have gathered a deep familiarity with the barriers to reaching a resolution in civil cases. I have represented plaintiffs and defendants and understand both the emotional and practical concerns they bring to the table.
Nevertheless, my role is not to dictate solutions that you can get from a judge but to guide you to a resolution you can agree on. My training in mediation, arbitration and dispute resolution has been tempered by over a hundred successful mediations, leaving me with the skill, confidence, and voice needed to guide two parties toward a common solution.
Resolve Your Dispute Faster, Cheaper, And More Reliably Than In Court
Many courts, especially in personal injury and civil dispute matters, order parties to attempt mediation before trying a case. If even the court requires you to try mediation, it is because it significantly reduces the pressure on the court system while also frequently leading to a faster and more affordable solution.
For a flat fee per day of mediation, split between both parties, you can often get a definitive deal in less time without the publicity of trial. Best of all, you know that any deal you reach is one you can live with, while judges or juries can and often do rule entirely against your interests or preferences. If I became a mediator, it was in no small part because I recognized first-hand its efficiency and how it could improve the lives and situations of everyone involved, rather than leaving one or both broken after a drawn-out trial.
My Path To Mediation
Before becoming a mediator, I had already participated in dozens, if not hundreds, of mediations as a lawyer for one side or the other. Before stepping up to the bar, however, I worked in radio broadcast, where I honed some of the voice skills and communication techniques that serve me to this day. They came in handy in and out of court as a litigator for hundreds of professional misconduct and personal injury defendants and continue to be invaluable in mediation. Seeing mediation in practice during my work defending lawyers, doctors, venues and extended-care institutions, I was invariably impressed with the ability of mediators to facilitate solutions even for some of the most emotionally complex cases. So, I set myself on the path toward my own certification and training and have now mediated cases for most California Superior Courts, several Appellate Courts, and even federal courts. I have even had the distinct pleasure of serving as a settlement conference judge pro tem in the Superior Courts of Sacramento, El Dorado and Solano County.
Mediation Success Across A Wide Variety Of Cases
Mediation works in nearly every category of civil dispute, and I have had the pleasure of helping parties reach solutions across a broad swatch of the legal field, including:
- Health and financial planning,
- Real estate transactions,
- Partnership dissolutions,
- Employment-related claims,
- Professional malpractice claims,
- Contract negotiations,
- And more.
Perhaps yours will be next?
Many of these mediations have been online, and an increasingly large number of claims and cases are handled this way. As a result, I invested in remote appearance training and technology and became an early adopter of digital mediation. An approach that offers tools even in-person mediation does not, at a fraction of the cost.
