Mediation is a voluntary, confidential process where people meet in a private and neutral setting to resolve their differences. Skilled mediators empower the participants (“parties”) to negotiate and communicate more effectively to find a mutually agreeable resolution. Parties remain in full control of all decision-making in mediation; mediators are non-judgmental and do not impose decisions. If no agreements are reached in mediation, the discussion remains confidential, and parties may seek other remedies.
"I really appreciate being able to sit down and come to a plan to help work out issues on both sides."
