Mediation:

A mediator assists the parties resolve their differences by:

• Guiding discussion

• Identifying problems needing solutions

• Listening and making sure each side is understood and understands the other side

• Focusing the parties on their interests

• Helping to explore solutions

• Testing ideas to make sure they are workable

• Helping to draft the parties agreement

Resolution of the conflict in mediation will happen only if BOTH sides agree. The mediator does not make decisions for the parties.

Collaborative Law Process:

Parties can agree to work together to resolve conflict and furthermore agree to hire attorneys who are not allowed to go to trial and must resolve the conflict by other means. For a more detailed review our collaborative law page.
