Richard Lyman
Hon. Richard LymanHon. Richard Lyman (Ret.)
Mediator - Arbitrator


Hon. Richard W. Lyman has been a mediator, arbitrator, and discovery referee since his retirement from the Superior Court bench in 2007. Known for his straightforward style, Judge Lyman has resolved disputes concerning employment, business contracts, personal injury/premises liability, insurance coverage, and construction contracts.

Having grown up in the family business of real estate, then-attorney Richard Lyman had a civil practice for 23 years representing individuals, developers, commercial and industrial landlords and tenants, buyers, sellers, and lenders. Taking that background into his judicial career and, later on, his mediation career, Judge Lyman is a quick study in business disputes and understands how to approach even the most complicated and intertwined issues.

Parties particularly appreciate Judge Lyman’s friendly demeanor during mediations, allowing them to be both candid and amenable to his suggestions and approaches. Attorneys have commented that Judge Lyman is "very professional” but also “very user friendly." He is also "very knowledgeable" and "always well informed."

In addition to returning to the practice of law as an advocate on behalf of the firm’s clients, Judge Richard Lyman is available to serve as a mediator, arbitrator, referee, and private judge.
