When you opt for mediation instead of litigation, you present your concerns to an unbiased third party who helps you work with your opponent to settle your differences in ways that benefit all parties. The mediator does not listen to testimony, will not hear legal arguments and will not issue a ruling in favor of either party. The mediator's job is to aid the parties in coming to a mutually agreed-upon settlement. We have over 20 years of legal experience, and have found that mediation is a successful and cost-effective alternative to litigation, especially when it comes to family law issues.
