Reno Mediation Group was established on a clear premise: the most effective resolution comes from neutrals who understand how the real world operates—financially, operationally, and personally. Led by founder and principal neutral Seth Dallob, our firm brings a unique combination of corporate leadership, deep financial industry expertise, and formal adjudicative experience to the table. This balanced approach allows Reno Mediation Group to guide parties through complex disputes sensibly, respectfully, and without a budget-draining courtroom battle.
Disputes rarely involve just hurt feelings; they almost always involve money, assets, and shared liabilities. Under the leadership of Mr. Dallob, our practice leverages an extensive background in the financial and corporate sectors to quickly grasp the economic mechanics of a dispute without a steep learning curve.
Financial Industry Roots: As a former financial advisor, Mr. Dallob brings an insider’s understanding of wealth management, investment portfolios, retirement vehicles, and financial planning dynamics.
Executive Corporate Experience: Mr. Dallob has served as a corporate Chief Operating Officer, directly managing operations, finance, corporate contracting, and project scheduling. In addition, he has served on multiple for-profit and non-profit Board of Directors.
Asset & Capital Management: His background includes serving as a Managing Member for an international family office, where he was responsible for due diligence, financial structuring, and managing private equity partnerships.
In divorce mediation, a sophisticated financial foundation completely transforms how settlements are reached. Dividing a life means untangling complex, shared financial realities. Because our leadership includes a former financial advisor, we help couples methodically navigate every layer of a marital settlement with exceptional clarity:
Asset & Portfolio Valuation: We guide couples through a transparent inventory of marital assets, bringing a trained eye to everything from evaluating equity in a primary residence to assessing complex retirement accounts, stock options, and investment portfolios.
Complex Divisions & Business Assets: For entrepreneurial couples or executives, our firm brings the exact corporate and equity background needed to understand cash flow and business valuations without needing to hire expensive outside financial experts.
Debt Allocation & Spousal Support: We help parties look practically at joint debts, liabilities, and potential spousal support structures to build a balanced, realistic post-divorce budget for both sides.
Instead of getting bogged down in confusing spreadsheets or spending thousands of dollars on adversarial legal discovery, Reno Mediation Group helps couples look at their entire financial picture honestly to protect both parties' financial futures.
Real estate is often the single largest asset in both business disagreements and marital divorces. Because our firm's leadership has a hands-on history of successfully delivering complex, multi-million dollar housing and construction projects, Reno Mediation Group possesses a deep, practical understanding of property mechanics, valuations, and co-ownership friction. We help parties find realistic ways to divide, refinance, or sell property without destroying its value through forced court sales or endless litigation.
High-stakes disputes and family transitions can feel overwhelming, and emotional tension can easily stall progress. Our firm's approach is anchored by a strict commitment to steady, objective decision-making under pressure.
Mr. Dallob's background as an active arbitrator for the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) highlights a verified commitment to absolute neutrality and the careful, objective evaluation of facts, contracts, and evidence. This disciplined, structured framework allows Reno Mediation Group to lower the emotional temperature—especially in sensitive divorce or partnership breakups—and keep the conversation focused safely on practical, binding solutions.
The problem-solving frameworks used across Reno Mediation Group’s practice are backed by an advanced, well-rounded academic background:
Master of Business Administration (MBA): Earned by Mr. Dallob from the Peter F. Drucker Graduate School of Management at Claremont Graduate University, focusing on negotiation, dispute resolution, and ethical leadership.
Bachelor of Arts (BA): Conferred upon Mr. Dallob by California State University, Northridge.
When you choose Reno Mediation Group, you are engaging a firm that knows how wealth is built, how businesses run, how assets are structured, and how to guide people safely and equitably through some of life's most challenging transitions.
