Mediation Services
Normally, the two parties wishing to have their dispute mediated hire the mediator jointly. Frequently, we are selected to mediate cases already in litigation, and the mediation involves the parties and their own individual counsel, who also participate. Typically, the cost of the mediator is split between the parties, but any agreed arrangement may be made.
Why Choose Us to Mediate Your Case?
We do not subscribe to the theory that a mediator is a simple messenger between parties. We are fully familiar with all family law issues, and bring to the table a depth of experience in resolving those issues that often cuts through the clutter, focusing on resolving issues rather than conflicting personalities.
We also do not believe that anyone should be pushed into any agreement without understanding what they are doing, or why. A mediated agreement should be competently and ethically negotiated, the terms reached should comply with the law and be fair to both parties in view of what is known, what is uncertain, and given the risks and costs of proceeding to an alternate resolution.
Our experience allows us to resolve many disputes concerning technical or complex issues that often stall resolution of divorce cases, such as valuation and distribution issues regarding retirement benefits, survivor’s benefits, and disability matters. Family law cases can involve a host of issues in many different subject areas, and we strive to address each of them to ensure that the resolution reached is as good as can be obtained for everyone involved.
