Mediation is a non-adversarial process where the parties make the important decisions regarding how they want to move forward. Mediation focuses on the future instead of the past. Parties meet together and separately with the mediator as they discuss issues and work together to reach agreements.
Scheduling a consultation will help you determine whether mediation will work for your situation. It will also prepare you for a successful mediation experience. Consultations currently take place through online-video.
