Mediation is a private, voluntary and informal process where a neutral third party assists and guides the parties toward a settlement of their entire dispute or of selected issues. Mediation generally takes place without attorneys present and encourages direct communication between the parties. Since the parties have more control over their final settlement, they are often more satisfied and are more likely to honor that settlement.
Through mediation, spouses in conflict can play an active role in resolving their differences. Our goal is to help people work together, with the assistance of a mediator, to make decisions. The advantages of mediation lie in the clients' control of the process; their flexibility in making fully informed, customized decisions; and their ability to deal with each other in a manner that has personal integrity for them.
We view our role as attorneys to be that of problem solvers. We strive to achieve the best possible results for clients for the least possible cost. We are strong advocates for the client whether it is the husband or the wife, the mother or the father, and regardless of whether we are in a courtroom or at the bargaining table.
