Mediation

  Mediation  is a structured process where a neutral mediator or mediators help  parties to resolve conflict. The mediator or mediators cannot decide  issues or impose a settlement; a binding decision will be reached only  if both parties agree to its terms.  The role of the mediator(s) is to  manage the conflict resolution process and to provide creative options  for clients to consider.  Mediation allows you the flexibility to agree  to terms that a judge would never order, to meet the specific needs of  your family.  Mediation offers many advantages over litigation:  

• Significantly reduced cost
• High success rate in reaching settlement
• Immediate closure
• Elimination of the uncertainty of jury trials
• Control over outcome for your family
