Why Mediation?
Collaborative
Collaborative
Collaborative
Conflict resolution through mediation focuses more on the collaboration of the parties and balancing of interests. This personal process and structure is strongly focused on supporting the goals of each party without unintended delay of formal court processes.
Convenient
Collaborative
Collaborative
Mediation may occur at any time that is convenient for all parties. The process is arranged by the parties and is not encumbered by a formal court schedule or the unreliability of a jury. This setting is much less formal making it the perfect alternative to the intimidating courtroom. We offer mediation services both online and in-person.
Confidential
Collaborative
Confidential
Mediation is highly beneficial to the parties because of its confidentiality. The mediation is not open to the public nor is it recorded. If a mediation does not end in an agreement between the parties, both parties still retain their right to pursue in formal court.
