How we ranked Hicksville mediators

How to choose a mediator
- Check the lawyer’s status and any public discipline in the state bar or law society directory.
- Ask how many mediation matters the lawyer handles each year, and who at the firm will do the work.
- Get the fee arrangement in writing: hourly, flat or contingency, and which costs are charged on top.
- Ask how and how often the firm will update you, and how fast it answers calls and emails.
- Read recent reviews for how the firm communicated and billed, not only for outcomes.
- Ask whether the mediator is a lawyer, what mediation training or accreditation they hold, and how many matters like yours they have mediated.
- Meet more than one firm; many offer a short first consultation, sometimes free.
Questions to ask a mediator
- How would you approach a matter like mine, and what are the realistic options?
- How do you charge, and what will the total likely cost?
- Who will be my main contact, and how quickly do you reply?
- Are you a lawyer, and who prepares the written agreement?
- How many sessions does a matter like ours usually take?
- Is there any conflict of interest that would stop you representing me?

- Contingency fee
- A fee that is a share of the money recovered, paid only if there is a recovery. Common in injury cases; not allowed for criminal defense or for securing a divorce.

The median Google rating among 166 rated mediators in Hicksville is 4.9★, with a median of 17 reviews. David Centeno Law, PC has the most, 268 reviews, and ranks #11. We adjust ratings for review count, so a few five-star reviews cannot top the list.
How does LawFirmsRanked rank mediators?
Each mediator gets a 0–100 LFR Score from nine published factors, led by reputation (25%), practice focus (15%), review volume (10%) and recency (10%). A law firm with no Google reviews scores zero on rating, review volume and recency; other factors we cannot measure are left out. Only law firms with a confirmed practice area and 3 or more reviews, or a claimed profile, are ranked.
Do mediators outside Hicksville count in this ranking?
Yes, if they are within 40 mi of the Hicksville city center, our service radius for mediators. Each listing shows where the law firm is based and how far away it is. Proximity is 5% of the LFR Score, so a nearby law firm gets a small edge.
Can mediators pay to rank higher on LawFirmsRanked?
No. The LFR Score never reads payment status, and this ranking has 0 paid placements. Up to 3 Featured law firms may appear above the list, labelled Attorney advertising and showing their honest rank.
How do mediators in Hicksville, NY charge?
Mediators usually charge by the hour or a flat fee per session, and the cost is often split between the two sides. Ask for the fee arrangement in writing before you agree.
Is an agreement reached in mediation legally binding?
Mediation is voluntary and the mediator does not decide anything. If both sides agree, the terms are usually written up and signed, and in a divorce or custody matter filed with the court to become binding. Each side can have its own lawyer review the agreement first. This is general information, not legal advice.
How is this list of mediators in Hicksville, NY ranked?
By LFR Score only, from public data on reviews, practice focus, office location and hours. Firms labelled “Attorney advertising” paid for that placement; payment never changes a rank, and a rank is not an endorsement.
Does a lawyer need an office in Hicksville?
No, but the lawyer must be licensed in your state (or, for federal matters such as immigration, in some state). A local office makes meetings and court appearances easier, so proximity is one of our factors.
