mediation, what is mediation? is it right for you?
the advantages to mediation are tremendous cost savings
privacy and control over your case
mediation is different than litigation
because it leaves the power to make decisions in the client hands
what we do with mediation is we bring people together and we try to come up with creative options
for the many issues that come up in a family law case
and then once we have agreed on all of the issues in the case we can put
all of your agreements together and we present those to the court
and the court rubber stamps that
as opposed to litigated case where you take your issues before the judge
and the judge decides how things should go in your case
what people can expect in a mediation process
are a more hands-on approach a private approach
where you are in a room with the facilitator mediator
that listens to you and actually takes into consideration
each party is concerned and tries to address those concerns in order to reach the best settlement
possible for all concerned
a common misconception about mediation is that people have to be
in control of their case before they come into mediation
but that's really not possible how could you possibly know what the issues are until you have spoken to somebody
we never push people to finish their case at a in a particular time line
however if you were to go by the courts timeline
you are are strictly managed by the court's calendar where as in mediation
were much more flexible in our scheduling
