What is Mediation?

Mediation is a private, confidential and cooperative process in which an impartial person helps individuals or entities in conflict resolve and settle their differences.

Mediation is a practical and relaxed process, free of courtroom procedures or technicalities.  In most cases, mediation is significantly less expensive than litigation.
Mediation allows the parties to retain control of the critical decisions that affect their personal, financial and business interests.



Mediation is an effective and positive alternative to emotionally and financially debilitating courtroom battles.  Although litigation is sometimes required, mediation is an alternative that should be considered when any dispute arises.
