WHY MEDIATION?
Mediation is a process in which a trained neutral person, a "mediator," helps people in a dispute to communicate with one another, to understand each other, and if possible, to reach agreements that satisfy everyone's needs.
-
A mediator can help you to reach agreements, build relationships and find solutions that work.
-
In mediation, you speak for yourself and make your own decisions.
-
Mediators will not make decisions for you, provide any legal advice, or recommend the terms of an agreement.
-
Mediation can help protect your privacy since, unlike courtroom proceedings which are open to the public, mediation is a confidential process.
What is transformative mediation?
If your case is referred to mediation by the court, or if someone suggests that you try mediation to resolve a conflict, it may be because:
-
Mediation may save you time and money.
-
Mediation provides an opportunity for you to say what's important to you and hear the other person's perspectives
-
Mediation may help you to figure out how to get your needs and the other person's needs met by reaching creative, customized solutions that work for everyone.
-
You have decision-making power in mediation, and you know what your needs are better than any judge or jury.
-
Many business disputes, family conflicts, neighborhood disputes, and one-on-one issues can be effectively resolved in mediation.
-
Even some criminal and juvenile justice cases are better handled in mediation than in court, especially if the people involved have an ongoing relationship.
-
Mediation may help you preserve or improve a troubled business, family or neighborhood relationship.
