WHAT IS MEDIATION?

Sometimes referred to as: alternative dispute resolution, shuttle diplomacy, peacemaking, reconciliation, arbitration, facilitation, collaboration, conciliation, motivation or intervention, mediation involves a third-party (Mediator) guided opportunity to settle differences.

Mediation is considered by many as a means to avoid the time and expensive of litigation, while in other situations, a mechanism to create a more positive environment.

The process can take place at your home, workplace, church, synagogue, or some other private setting.

In some cases, it can be beneficial to have the mediator speak with the parties separately. This is sometimes referred to as "conciliation".

There are many situations where mediation can be beneficial as a result of some form of disagreement involving: neighbors, loved ones, coworkers, employees, employers, merchants, customers, contractors and even friends.

Some mediators charge hundreds of dollars per hour, though our charges tend to be in the $80.00 an hour range.  Our primary goal is to help people.
