International Mediation Associates, Inc. provides efficient, cost-beneficial alternative dispute resolution (ADR) in litigation-based, pre-litigation, administrative, employment, and other dispute situations. The principals of IMA bring a wealth of legal and life experiences and knowledge to the ADR process with proven results and benefit to the parties involved in the dispute.

IMA offers a unique opportunity, through the husband and wife team of Ruth and Jeff Barnes working together, to resolve any dispute without the delay or complications often associated with litigation. The combination of Ruth’s life experiences and multiple languages and Jeff’s 20-plus year history as a litigator offer a perspective and understanding which has resulted in the amicable resolution of hundreds of disputes in both legal and non-legal environments.

The ADR services of IMA may be utilized, with the consent of the parties to the dispute and according to applicable law and rules of procedure, prior to the institution of formal litigation or claim or during the lawsuit process. IMA maintains offices in the states of Nevada and Florida, USA, and also has office affiliations throughout the United States and the world.
