If you are looking for an alternative to the traditional court process for resolving disputes, mediation may be right for you. Mediation is a form of alternative dispute resolution that is facilitated by a neutral third party, known as the mediator. The goal of mediation is to help parties come to a mutually acceptable agreement, while also improving relationships and communication between parties.

COMMON QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT MEDIATION
CAN I BE FORCED TO SETTLE MY CLAIM? Absolutely not. This is a voluntary process based upon your conclusion, with your counsel’s advice, that settlement at mediation is in your best interest.
WHAT HAPPENS IF WE DO NOT SETTLE? The case continues on through the court system and a decision resolving the dispute may then be made by a judge or jury. You have lost none of your legal rights, but mediation does allow you to maintain control of your destiny. You will have limited control of the decision once it is submitted to a judge or jury.
IS EACH PARTY AUTHORIZED TO SETTLE? Prior to the commencement of the mediation each party, through counsel, represents that each has final decision-making authority to settle.
CAN ANYTHING I SAY BE HELD AGAINST ME IF WE DO NOT SETTLE? No, the basic premise of mediation is that it is a confidential, safe environment where the parties can explore the possibility of settlement. Each party and counsel will agree to abide by these rules of strict confidentiality and there are penalties for violation.
WHAT IS THE ROLE OF THE ATTORNEY? The attorney should prepare as if he is going to trial. His goal is to present to the decision-maker on the other side the facts in favor of his case such that the opponent recognizes the risk of trying the case and agrees to work toward a settlement.
