FAQ

Why does mediation work?

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.

Why should I schedule a consultation?

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.

How does mediation work in the age of COVID-19?

Social distancing is a must for all of us right now. Through online-video meetings, parties are able to meet together without having to be physically present. Right now, all consultations and mediations take place through online-video meetings in order to protect our clients.
