Mediation
Not just 'meeting in the middle.'
What is mediation?
Mediation is a voluntary process. However, in certain situations a court may make attending mediation mandatory. Mediation is an informal process where a mediator helps people with a dispute to reach an agreement. The mediation process identifies important issues, clarifies misunderstandings, explores solutions, and negotiates settlement.
​
What kind of cases can I mediate?
​
As a general civil mediator I can handle any civil action filed in a court in which the court has continuing jurisdiction, except civil commitments, adoption proceedings, habeas corpus and extraordinary writs, juvenile delinquency, or dependency and neglect cases. The term "Extraordinary writs" does not encompass claims or applications for injunctive relief.
What is a mediator?
A mediator is a third party neutral who facilitates the mediation. In other words, the mediator does not choose sides. The mediator manages the mediation by helping each side communicate with each other in a safe and confidential environment. The goal of the mediator you choose should be to help the parties involved see the end of the dispute.
