Benefits of Mediation

Mediation works. 

Most mediations result in a settlement that is mutually beneficial to all parties. 

Mediation allows the parties, rather than a judge or jury, to decide how the case will be resolved. 

Mediation is a collaborative process with a neutral mediator facilitating negotiations and constructive communication.

Mediation allows the parties to include creative settlement terms to address the interests of the parties. 

Settling a case in a mediation is less expensive and a much faster method for resolving a legal matter than going to trial and facing a potential appeal. 

Mediation is less stressful than trial and appeal.
