mediation services
Mediation is a process by which a neutral third party (called a "mediator") hears a dispute between two or more parties and attempts to help the parties settle their dispute in a mutually satisfactory manner. The mediator can help the parties recognize the strengths and weaknesses of their case and can offer creative suggestions for the resolution of the dispute. Mediation can save time, money and is a method of avoiding the inherent risks of litigation. The process is entirely voluntary and non-binding. The parties work in a collaborative, controlled environment and the ultimate decision as to the outcome of the dispute rests solely with the parties involved. All matters discussed at the mediation are confidential. A mediation may be set at any point in a dispute, whether it is prior to a lawsuit being filed or afterwards.
Any type of matter may be mediated, including: |
|
|
Divorce, custody, support, alimony |
|
Financial matters/bankruptcy issues |
|
Lawsuits of any nature |
|
Business matters |

Unlike a judge or an arbitrator whose decisions subject one party to win and the other party to lose, mediation is about finding a solution that works for both parties.
The majority of cases mediated are civil in nature. Mediations may involve tenants and landlords, families, neighborhoods, juvenile offenders, the workplace, corporate, employment, construction, real estate, health care, church and community disputes.
It is not necessary for cases to have legal issues and/or lawsuits pending.
