Mediation

Mediation is an appealing resolution process for parties in dispute. When compared to traditional litigation, mediation has compelling advantages including absolute privacy as well as time and cost savings.

During mediation each party is represented by their chosen attorney. Both sides agree upon a neutral person, a mediator, to fairly negotiate the issues in dispute to achieve a mutually equitable and legally binding resolution.

Because the mediation process grants all decision-making power strictly to the parties, it has become a very popular solution for divorce, family law and business disputes.

During mediation, parties in dispute are given private rooms, separate from the opposing side. The mediator spends time with each party to ascertain everyone’s position and wishes. After the initial meeting, the mediator begins an effective mediation process between the parties to arrive at an equitable resolution for all.

Resolutions reached in mediation are binding just like in a court of law.
