Mediation
Legal disputes can be time-consuming, expensive, and physically draining. The court takes control of the dispute and determines how you are going to live with the results.
​
Mediation is a process that gives you and the other party control of the ultimate outcome of your dispute. It bridges the gap between negotiation and litigation. As an impartial third-party, the mediator helps to facilitate an outcome by guiding parties through potential impasses that come from emotions, history, or anger and helps to develop creative solutions within a confidential environment.
​
The American Arbitration Association reports an overall 85% success rate for voluntary mediations. Court-ordered mediations report a 75% success rate on average.
​
However, different categories of mediation have an increased level of success due to the nature of the dispute.
​
There are several kinds of disputes that can benefit from mediation. Our office works with Contract Disputes, Personal Injury Claims, Construction Issues, Landlord/Tenant Disputes, Employment Differences, Probate, and Domestic Relations (Custody, Visitation, and Property settlements).
