How to Move ForwardYou
can propose mediation in a short, professional email to Liotta and Oksana (cc
Pavelich). Something like:
In the interest of resolving our disputes efficiently and cost-effectively,
I propose we schedule mediation through the DC Superior Court Multi-Door
program (or a mutually agreed private mediator). This would allow us to
address the condo access, room division, and other issues without further
litigation.
Would you like me to draft that full email for you, or prepare a short motion
asking the court to order mediation in 2026-CAB-001539?
