Mediation is an extremely effective means of dispute resolution.
A mediator is a neutral third-party who works with clients to creatively and effectively resolve differences. The goal of mediation is for parties to work together to devise a solution that is “do-able and durable”. Mediation sessions usually take place between parties and the mediator. In some cases, both attorneys are also present.

Mediation is confidential.
If parties are unsuccessful in resolving their differences through mediation, the issues and ideas expressed in mediation are not admissible in court. Because the process is confidential, parties can feel free to discuss matters honestly and propose solutions without fear of repercussions.

Mediation puts you in the driver's seat.
A mediator is not empowered to make decisions about your future. The attorneys review the summary with their clients and the terms of the agreement are put in proper legal form and submitted to the court.
