Phylis Offerman, Mediator and Attorney at Law

Do not attend mediation with Phylis Offerman if one party is represented by Graham Family Law. She is their preferred mediator and demonstrates clear and obvious bias. Ms. Offerman convened a mediation case that involved coercion and domestic violence — violating the first principles of fair and balanced mediation. People have paid for multiple mediations with her only to have her very clearly side with the side that enters the conversation represented by Graham Family Law. This is a gross abuse of her position as a mediator. This is shared as a review after I myself took the 40 hour mediation course Texas requires for court-ordered mediators to learn if Ms. Offerman was truly working in alignment with state guidelines and rules. Exceptionally disappointing to see people abuse the mediation process in such a way, especially as mediators are trusted to act a neutral parties who facilitate collaborative resolution — not whatever Ms. Offerman is pretending to do.
