Experienced Louisiana Mediator for Complex Civil Disputes
Practical Experience. Balanced Perspective. Meaningful Resolution.
After more than 35 years representing plaintiffs, defendants, insurers, businesses, and professionals in complex civil litigation, David Schexnaydre brings a unique perspective to mediation.
Having litigated and mediated hundreds of disputes, he understands not only the legal issues involved, but also the financial, business, and personal considerations that often drive settlement discussions.
David works with parties and counsel to identify common ground, realistically evaluate risks, and explore practical solutions that can avoid the expense and uncertainty of trial.
Why Choose Mediation?
Mediation offers parties an opportunity to resolve disputes efficiently, confidentially, and on their own terms. Unlike litigation, mediation allows participants to maintain greater control over the outcome while reducing the time, expense, and uncertainty associated with trial.
Benefits of mediation include:
- Faster resolution than traditional litigation
- Reduced legal expenses
- Confidential proceedings
- Greater flexibility and control over outcomes
- Preservation of business and professional relationships
- Creative solutions not available through court judgments
