Mediation is an informal process whereby the parties are empowered to exercise self determination. At mediation the parties are in full control of how their case can get resolved. The parties fully control their matter still at this point rather than putting their matter in the hands of a judge or jury. Mediations are confidential and thus allow for open and frank discussions which we strongly encourage. The parties should feel mediation is the best time to problem solve with the use of an impartial third party (mediator) helping to facilitate discussions between the disputing parties. Mediation is an invaluable conflict resolution tool. Our mediation process is highly efficient, solution focused and tailored to meet the needs and issues presented in each matter.
At the end, the participants make the final decisions which is very empowering.
