Mediation is a voluntary settlement process which provides a win-win alternative to the adversarial legal system. It is practical, informal and issue-oriented with collaborative problem solving.

An impartial mediator helps the parties clarify their disputes, determine their needs and interests, consider settlement options, and reach fair agreements. Written agreements are made when appropriate.

Anyone with the desire to settle disputes reasonably and equitably can reach an agreement that is fair to all parties. Mediation is effective even when conflict and anger are intense and communication has broken down. Fees are charged at an hourly rate. No retainer required. Reduced fees available for those who qualify.
