Mediation is often much quicker, less expensive, less time-consuming, and easier on the parties’ relationships. In mediation, the parties control the outcome through negotiated agreements so as to avoid risk of litigation. Each party is more able to fashion creative solutions to conflicts that courts are unable to provide.
A good, skilled mediator will help the parties and/or their attorneys communicate more effectively, provide an effective structure for the negotiation, and provide creative suggestions for resolving the conflict.

Even when going to court is not an option for the parties, mediation can be a very useful process. Sometimes parties or their attorneys are unable to communicate with each other well enough to work out an agreement. A mediator will help the parties develop an effective communication and negotiation process. In many disputes the mediator’s neutral perspective can enable the parties to take a fresh look at the conflict and at potential solutions so they can move past an impasse.
