What is Mediation - And Why it Works
Mediation is a voluntary, confidential process in which a neutral third party helps people in conflict reach a resolution—without the time, expense, and stress of going to court. Whether you're facing a commercial dispute, employment matter, or other civil litigation issue, mediation offers a path toward resolution that puts you in control.
A Smarter Way to Resolve Disputes
Unlike litigation, where a judge or jury makes the final decision, mediation empowers the parties themselves to craft their own agreement. With the help of a skilled mediator, both sides can communicate openly, explore creative solutions, and come to terms that work for everyone involved.
At its best, mediation is:
Efficient – Often resolved in a single session, saving time and money.
Private – Conducted in a confidential setting, with no public record.
Flexible – Allows for tailored solutions that courts cannot always provide.
Preserving – Maintains business relationships, avoids scorched-earth outcomes.
Voluntary – You're in control every step of the way—settlement only happens if everyone agrees.
Why Choose Mediation for Your Civil Dispute?
Litigation can be unpredictable. It can also drag on for months or even years. Mediation offers an opportunity to resolve disputes on your terms—with the help of an experienced, neutral guide.
As a mediator with a background in civil litigation, I understand the legal complexities and emotional stakes involved in these cases. I bring a steady, impartial approach that helps parties move past roadblocks, focus on solutions, and find common ground.
Whether you're an attorney seeking a reliable mediator or a party exploring alternatives to trial, mediation can be the key to resolution.
