WHAT IS MEDIATION?

Mediation is a constructive, confidential process designed to resolve disputes with the help of an impartial third party who helps the parties reach a voluntary and informed settlement of their issues. 

Mediation is a client-centered, flexible process designed to help people reach a mutual agreement that meets their own unique needs and circumstances.

Mediation is extensively used to solve almost any type of dispute including divorce and family issues, estate planning and probate issues, work place issues, partnership issues, business transaction issues, real estate and construction issues, and elder care. 

Mediation is a flexible, empowering, client centered process which is used to create a more constructive dialogue between the clients.   The process involves techniques to get to the hidden issues so that the parties are able to reach a mutually beneficial agreement that meet their unique needs.   The mediator meets with the parties and uses rules and intervention techniques to help the parties define issues, gather information, develop options, evaluate solutions and structure an agreement. The parties may each have their own attorney to advise them and guide them through the legal issues throughout the mediation process.
