At Reliance Mediators, we help individuals, businesses, and families resolve conflicts quickly, privately, and cost-effectively through mediation. Unlike litigation, which can be expensive, time-consuming, and adversarial, mediation allows parties to work toward mutually beneficial solutions in a neutral, guided environment.
Tumblr media
Mediation is a voluntary process where a neutral third party (the mediator) helps people in conflict reach an agreement that works for both sides. It’s commonly used in business disputes, contract disagreements, family conflicts, estate matters, real estate issues, and more.
Tumblr media
Whether you're dealing with a business dispute, a family disagreement, or an estate matter, Reliance Mediators is here to help. Our trained mediators create a calm and productive environment where both sides can be heard and real solutions can be found.

How much do you really KNOW about your auto insurance? I mean, REALLY? Please read this and share it. It might literally save your or your family's future.
Most folks��honestly, not much (no offense). It’s complicated contract law that is handed to you in a take-it-or-leave it” contract of adhesion written by teams of lawyers. It is hard.
Virginia law changed effective January 1, 2024, requiring minimum liability limits of $50,000 (up from $25,000). What is a “liability limit?” This is the amount the insurance will pay if you injure someone or damage property. HOWEVER, (and this is CRITICALLY IMPORTANT) – this is also the amount your insurance can pay out for you if you are injured by someone with insufficient insurance coverage. This means that, if someone crashes into you and 1.) has NO insurance, or 2.) has only minimum insurance – YOUR policy can respond.
We have litigated cases wherein our client had catastrophic injuries – brain injury and death of another – and the defendant who caused the accident had only $50,000 in coverage. Bear in mind – 1 person DIED. 1 person will be in long-term care for the rest of his/her life. $50,000 does not even remotely help. If these clients had $500,000 on his/her policy, we could recover at least $500,000 (possibly more).
Moral of the story? Get the maximum amount of policy limits you can possibly afford. It not only protects you from being sued if you injure someone else, it also offers coverage if someone else injures you. Get as much as you can…premiums are not that much different for increased limits. What is it worth to you? Accidents happen All. The. Time. What if someone injures you severely with no insurance or not enough insurance? “I’ll just sue them!” Yes…but remember…if they have no assets, you get ZERO. NOTHING. A judgment is not self-executing.
GET THE INSURANCE COVERAGE. GET THE MAXIMUM LIMITS YOU CAN AFFORD. PRTECT YOURSELF AND YOUR FAMILY. You will be glad you did.

Are you aware of the new laws in Virginia as of January 1, 2025? As of January 1, 2025, several new laws have taken effect in Virginia that may impact you. Here is a quick rundown:
Minimum Wage Increase: The state's minimum wage has risen from $12.00 to $12.41 per hour, aligning with the Virginia Minimum Wage Act's provision for annual adjustments based on the Consumer Price Index.
Car Insurance Coverage: Mandatory minimum car insurance coverage amounts have increased to $50,000 for bodily injury per person, $100,000 per accident, and $25,000 for property damage.
Public Utility Work Transparency: The Virginia Department of Transportation is now required to maintain a public database detailing approved and planned utility work in residential neighborhoods, including maps, locations, and timelines.
Electric Vehicle Mandate: Virginia has opted out of adopting California's regulations that would have mandated all new cars and light trucks sold in the state to be zero-emission vehicles.
Waterfowl Blind Reporting: Individuals obtaining waterfowl blind licenses must now provide the location of their blinds to the Department of Wildlife Resources using standardized latitude and longitude coordinates.
Colorectal Cancer Screening Coverage: Health insurance companies are now required to cover colorectal cancer screenings, including follow-up colonoscopies, without subjecting these services to deductibles, coinsurance, or other cost-sharing requirements.
Foster Care Placement Prioritization: The state has established the Parental Child Safety Placement Program to prioritize placing children in foster care with relatives, aiming to increase kinship care placements.
Standardized Compensation for Child Dependency Cases: Compensation for counsel appointed to represent parents, guardians, or other adults in child dependency cases has been standardized, with maximum compensation set at $330, and $680 for cases involving termination of residual parental rights.
Data Collection Restrictions for Children: Amendments to the Consumer Data Protection Act now impose stricter restrictions on data controllers' ability to collect and process personal data of children, including prohibitions on targeted advertising and the sale of such data.
Virginia Memory Project: The Virginia Center on Aging has established the Virginia Memory Project to collect and analyze data on Alzheimer's disease, dementia, and other neurodegenerative disorders, aiming to connect individuals with service providers and inform public policy.
Hope this helps! Feel free to share!

BOI has been suspended!
Beneficial Ownership Information (BOI) had been implemented by the Federal government requiring all small corporations, LLC's, etc., to report ownership information including all owners and identifying information no later than January 1, 2025.
In a 79 page opinion, Case No.: Case 4:24-cv-00478-ALM, U.S. District Judge Amos Mazzant of the United States District Court, EASTERN DISTRICT OF TEXAS, SHERMAN DIVISION issued an injunction against the law until a final ruling. This injunction stays the requirement to register.
The Court's holding is as follows:
"The Corporate Transparency Act (CTA) is likely unconstitutional as outside of Congress’s power. Because the Reporting Rule implements the CTA, it is likely unconstitutional for the same reasons. The Court has not addressed the issue of the CTA’s constitutionality as applied to these Plaintiffs or Plaintiffs’ challenges under the First and Fourth Amendments. Having determined that Plaintiffs have carried their burden, the Court GRANTS Plaintiff’s Motion for a Preliminary Injunction. Therefore, the CTA, 31 U.S.C. § 5336 is hereby enjoined. Enforcement of the Reporting Rule, 31 C.F.R. 1010.380 is also hereby enjoined, and the compliance deadline is stayed under § 705 of the APA. Neither may be enforced, and reporting companies need not comply with the CTA’s January 1, 2025, BOI reporting deadline pending further order of the Court."
Great news and hopefully this government overreach will be abolished. For now, no need to register.
