WHAT IS MEDIATION? Mediation is a highly developed, cost- effective process in which a facilitator (the mediator) helps parties find mutually acceptable solutions to agreed-upon problems.

HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE? The mediation process usually takes between two and ten sessions. (90% of clients who continue past the initial session reach a successful settlement.)

THE GOAL: An agreement negotiated by the participants that all parties can live with.

WHY CHOOSE MEDIATION? Whether for personal or business issues, mediation is: affordable and practical. You save money, time, and integrity. In mediation you retain control of the outcome of your situation. You decide – a judge does not.

HOW DOES IT WORK? The mediator meets with all parties in his/her office, and works with the parties to resolve the issues that have brought them into conflict.

1. Each party has an opportunity to tell their story and to express their desired outcome.

2. The mediator then works with all parties, narrowing down and clarifying issues.

3. Sometimes the mediator will suggest meeting with each party individually to further explore options and outcomes. The mediator then brings the parties back together until an agreement is reached.
