Mediation gives people the help they need to solve problems and address conflict and its causes. With the help of a mediator – someone with experience managing personal interactions and assisting people in working things out  – mediation offers a voluntary and confidential way to resolve disputes.

It puts control over decision making right where it belongs: in the hands of those most directly involved.

The mediation advantage includes:

• Ability to resolve conflicts early in their life cycle
• Saves time and money and preserves assets by reducing litigation costs through early settlement
• Greater satisfaction rate because parties control the outcome
• Provides a forum where all relevant issues can be addressed

Mediation can effectively address many kinds of issues including:

• Personal injury and other tort claims
• Business-to-business issues
• Condominium and homeowners association disputes
• Issues within religious institutions
• Workplace conflicts
• Family matters, such as family-owned property, estate, elder care, and guardianship
• Divorce and separation
• Disputes within family and small businesses
• Neighborhood, zoning, and community issues

Use mediation for :

Early conflict intervention or prevention. To address or resolve disputes before they grow unnecessarily–saving time, money, and important relationships.

Planning for transitions. Reduce the stress that change can produce by taking control and designing the future through mediated discussion.

Avoiding the risks and costs of trial. For disputes already in litigation, mediation helps litigants negotiate mutually satisfactory settlement.

Negotiation support. Mediation is assisted negotiation–designed to help disputants talk through issues, solve problems, and make decisions to reach outcomes that work for all.
