Mediation may allow you to avoid the conflict and cost of traditional adversarial legal proceedings. In conventional divorce, financial and emotional costs are high for both parties. In personal injury or other civil litigation cases, it offers the opportunity to resolve the lawsuit and get on with your life. Mediation is confidential and prevents public exposure of private family matters. Mediation is a litigation alternative. When you are in the middle of a court battle, such as a personal injury case, it allows you the ability to have a hand in the outcome. The decision regarding the outcome is in your hand, not a jury or a judge. Mediation promotes communication. Mediation is efficient and saves time. Agreements are usually reached much faster than in traditional divorce or traditional litigation. Mediated agreements are more likely to be honored in the future by both parties because it is voluntary and based upon mutual satisfaction, not by what a Judge orders, thus minimizing the risk of return trips to Court.
