Mediations

Mediation

Mediation is a process in which a neutral third party (mediator) helps the parties communicate with one another to reach an agreement that is acceptable to everyone. Mediation is a forward-looking process that encourages the participants to focus on their current and future needs rather than focusing on fault and blame for past actions. Mediation differs from a court proceeding in that the parties maintain control of their dispute. The decision-making power in mediation lies with the parties, not with the mediator or the court. Pre-trial resolution of a matter typically saves the parties massive amounts of time, energy, and expense.
