Mediation services provide individuals in conflict an opportunity to explore and discover the best possible solutions for both sides. The most valuable aspect of mediation is including a neutral mediator focused on communication enhancement between the parties. “Life is one long negotiation” and mediation seeks for and can provide mutual satisfaction when you are involved in a dispute.

Money is often the issue that parties focus on initially, and that is often an important aspect of mediation, but parties often care about other things more than money, such as being treated fairly, concluding an agreement quickly and fairly, avoiding an expensive and long drawn-out court battle, and coming up with a simple and understandable agreement that provides mutual satisfaction. Our mediation centers around discovering and understanding the interests of both parties and including all substantive points in the final agreement.

Any disagreement begins with a relationship and often leads to dispute when there is a lack of communication and mutual understanding. Our mediators aim to be constructive and help parties brainstorm solutions that are clear, trustworthy, legitimate, and maximize potential gains for all parties. Assessing options that may lead to reconciliation and setting or finding standards that can measure fairness according to interests of both parties can lead to an agreement far superior to what both parties hoped for prior to the mediation. Our mediation also considers the implementation of the agreement, the details surrounding the substantive points in the final agreement, what happens after the parties sign the agreement, including what happens if one party violates any part of the agreement,

Court battles, legal fees, and the anxiety and depression associated with months and years of continued litigation can be avoided by utilizing mediation services. Our firm’s legal expertise (licensed attorneys) and years of experience allow for increased understanding of the conflict, the law surrounding the issues of the conflict, effective and creative solutions, and efficient closure in drafting mediated agreements at the conclusion of the mediation.
