Family Mediation

Mediation is an effective process that saves time and money while enhancing participants’ ability to resolve conflict.  The Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) field in general, and mediation in particular, save participants time because the issues are discussed in a focused process with each concern heard and understood.  Participants save money by avoiding lengthy and expensive court battles.  The legal system benefits because court dockets are not overloaded.  Attorneys find they more effectively serve clients and increase invoice collections.  The participants themselves, in addition to saving time and money, feel heard and understood, meaning they are now able to address and resolve conflicts, thereby reducing ongoing angst.
