Why Mediate?   
There are several great reasons to choose mediation, including:

  • Mediation provides a private, safe forum to try to resolve
    disputes fairly and efficiently.

  • Mediation enables parties to maintain control over the
    outcome of a dispute.   A judge or jury does not dictate
    what you have to do, how much or you have to pay, or
    how little you get to receive.

  • Mediation decreases legal fees.  It helps parties avoid
    litigation costs.  It resolves issues more efficiently and
    effectively than traditional litigation or arbitration.  Having a
    lawyer, although recommended, is not necessary to
    participate in mediation.

  • Mediation is a confidential process.  Unlike in litigation,
    mediation does not result in public documents.  All
    communications are kept confidential.  Parties, including
    the mediator, sign confidentiality agreements at the
    beginning of the mediation.

  • Mediation saves time.  Disputes are often resolved in one
    day, avoiding long and protracted litigation.

  • Mediation organizes issues related to the dispute.  Even
    if  mediation does not result in a settlement or resolution, it
    can help the parties uncover and organize issues for future
    negotiations and settlement talks.

  • Mediation is more collaborative and less contentious
    than litigation.  Mediation is often the best way to resolve
    a dispute if there is a personal, business or employment
    relationship that needs to be maintained.

  • Mediation often results in positive, creative solutions
    that cannot be achieved through arbitration or litigation.
