MEDIATION SERVICES

Mediation is a process in which an impartial third party- a mediator-facilitates the resolution of a dispute by promoting voluntary agreement (or self-determination) by the parties to the dispute. A mediator facilitates communications, promotes understanding, focuses the parties on their interests, and seeks creative problem solving to enable the parties to reach their own agreement.

 

This voluntary process is designed to give you control over the results, reducing expenses, exposure, and saving time to heal and get closure. Adopting the philosophy outlined in BATNA (Best alternative to a negotiated agreement), we help families save approximately 50% in costs associated with litigating a case while more importantly mitigating family discord.
