Mediation


What are the benefits of mediation?

Any dispute or claim between parties can benefit from and resolved by the mediation process....

It is confidential, controlled by the parties, outside the court, cost effective and creative Mediation does not involve the court system and, therefore, is often more economical and expeditious than litigation. Additionally, mediation is a less adversarial process and focuses on providing techniques that empower individuals and families involved in the process to find common ground and understanding.

Mediation is also quite different from arbitration. In an arbitration, the parties provide evidence to the arbitrator who makes a final determination. In mediation, the mediator does not act as an arbitrator. Rather, it is the goal of the mediator to bring the parties together, listen to them, and help them find their own solutions — a resolution that all parties can live with so they can move forward with their lives.
