What Is Mediation?

Mediation is the best alternative to litigation. Mediation is a confidential, effective, inexpensive, informal way to resolve a dispute quickly. It is a non-adversarial proceeding. It is a voluntary confidential process in which a neutral mediator helps to clarify each person's needs, strengths and weaknesses. The mediator helps the parties generate options for a mutually satisfactory solution.

Mediation is an intelligent means to a just solution. It is controlled entirely by you. You have the right to consult with your attorney and experts. You can terminate mediation at any time. You always retain your right to litigate if mediation does not satisfy you.

If agreement is not reached, mediation usually narrows the scope of what will be litigated. It reduces the cost and length of litigation.
