Meet Art Escamilla

Founder | Mediator | Problem-Solver

After more than four decades in commercial real estate, banking, and contract negotiation, I found myself drawn toward a new purpose: helping people resolve conflict with clarity, empathy, and fairness.

Today I use my business experience and calm, solution-focused approach to guide individuals, families, and organizations through difficult conversations. Whether you are facing a disagreement over finances, property, or workplace matters, my goal is simple. I help both sides move forward with confidence and mutual respect.

Mediation is not just what I do. It is what I believe in.

“Mediation isn’t just about compromise – It’s about clarity, collaboration, and moving foward with confidence.”

Clients appreciate Art’s ability to listen, connect, and guide them toward fair and thoughtful outcomes without the stress of a courtroom.

A Background Built for Resolution

With 40 years of success in the financial and real estate industries, I bring a strong foundation of analytical thinking, structured negotiation, and risk management into every mediation I lead. My professional journey has included:

  • Commercial lending and portfolio management across diverse industries
  • Deep experience in contract negotiation and compliance
  • Resolving disputes involving real estate, financial agreements, and partnerships
  • Leading vendor relationships and managing high-stakes development projects
  • Training and mentoring teams in communication, trust-building, and strategic problem-solving

This real-world experience shapes the way I mediate: grounded in logic, built on trust, and focused on practical outcomes.

My Approach to Mediation

Every conflict is unique, but resolution always starts with understanding. As a neutral third party, I help disputing sides communicate openly, clarify their needs, and find common ground.

I approach mediation with a calm, impartial presence and a deep respect for everyone involved. My role is not to take sides but to facilitate progress by guiding the process, asking the right questions, and helping you craft a fair and lasting solution.

Whether the dispute is business-related or deeply personal, I work to create a safe and balanced environment where clear decisions can be made without judgment or pressure.
