Powerhouse Attorneys Fighting For Your Rights

Mediation

In contrast to the court system, mediation allows the parties involved to drive the process, setting the agenda, schedule and terms. A skilled mediator, knowledgeable of the law and insightful of the human condition, keeps the parties moving forward and on track. Mediation often requires creative thinking and perspective to understand the obstacles that impede progress, and there’s no substitute for experience when it comes to reaching a mutually acceptable agreement. Mediation provides an alternative way to reach resolution outside the courtroom. When successful, the parties can avoid some of the costs and expenses of protracted litigation and trial. The process entails identifying a neutral third party who will hear the opposing sides and help find common ground for settlement and resolution.

“Mediation empowers the parties because they can deal with the situation on their terms instead of the court’s terms.”

When you’re considering a mediator for your personal experience, either Ryan or Todd would be a great asset in helping you come to a beneficial conclusion in which you can avoid the necessity of going to court.

“Our job as mediators is to usher in an equitable resolution outside of the courtroom. We don’t push people to settle; we work with both sides to create new ways of looking at a problem in order to find a resolution that everyone can be happy with.”
