What is mediation?
Why Mediation?
Mediation is a collaborative negotiation process with a trained neutral party. It’s less expensive, faster and lower conflict than attorney litigation, court hearings and/or trial. Mediators can work in lieu of attorneys or work with your individual representation.
A mediator will facilitate the process, educate the parties and assess individual needs. Our job is to settle disputes while the parties maintain control over their own agreements. Once agreements are reached, we draft your settlement agreement for you.
Mediation is highly effective, especially if it is the FIRST step that people take. The process is confidential, so it preserves a safe place to converse about issues, ask questions and change your mind without being worried it may be held against you in court. It is also empowering, as you remain in control of your own lives and decisions rather than a judge.
If there are joint children involved, it is likely you would be required to participate in mediation regardless. We help keep the children out of conflict so couples may move forward as strong coparents. Mediation sets a foundation of working together through all issues, rather than against each other.
Mediation supports respectful communication and helps preserve relationships, which is especially important when ongoing interaction is necessary, such as co-parenting or caring for aging parents. Mediation reduces emotional and financial stress by providing a calmer alternative to court, where families can discuss concerns and work toward solutions without the adversarial nature of litigation.
Through mediation, participants maintain control over the outcomes instead of having a judge impose a decision. The process is private and confidential, and when children are involved it keeps their best interests at the forefront. Since agreements are reached through mutual understanding, it is more likely to be followed, leading to better long-term cooperation and fewer future disputes.
