Mediation - Circuit, Civil and Elder Law

Mediation is an efficient alternative to court interventions and trials. It provides both parties with the opportunity to set forth their case, negotiate and potentially come to a mutually beneficial resolution that both parties are comfortable with, whether they're individuals or businesses. This gives both parties the opportunity to avoid the uncertainty of a trial outcome. Another major benefit of mediation and why it's a preferable method to court action is because it is less expensive than trial due to providing the opportunity to avoid the expenses of trial preparation and attending trial.

The mediator's job is to help recognize and shed light on disputed issues, consider alternative solutions and suggest possible compromises. The mediator doesn't make decisions or rulings like a judge; instead she/he prompts discussion by exploring all sides of an argument before suggesting resolutions that might satisfy everyone involved in the conversation. The mediator doesn't just listen, but also encourages people to talk through their differences so they can reach reasonable agreements on how to best move forward together.

The mediator will draft the mediation agreement to be signed by both parties and their attorneys. Once an agreement is signed, it becomes binding, except in very limited circumstances.

Some of the areas of law we provide mediation in are Circuit, Civil & Elder Law.
