Mediation provides a different forum to resolve any type of civil lawsuit, whether it's a personal injury claim or a contract dispute.
With mediation, you retain control over any agreement reached. There is certainty, you know what you are getting. Once a lawsuit is litigated, the decision rests solely with the judge.
Mediation is the difference between working through a problem to reach a solution rather than battling through a fight to ultimately win or lose.
Many courts and judges establish settlement conferences as part of their trial schedule. It only makes sense to give your case the best chance at reaching a resolution by using the services of a professional trained to help parties come together on issues. Often, when the parties try to settle on their own, the adversarial battle simply continues.
Trials are stressful and take a toil mentally, emotionally and physically. Mediation takes place out of court in a less adversarial environment.
