Why Mediation?

The best way to resolve a situation

  • To resolve a conflict calmly, quickly, affordably, fairly, and constructively.
  • To resolve a conflict privately, without lots of people watching in a courtroom.
  • To resolve a conflict speedily and economically and move on in your life, rather than letting it fester and linger in your thoughts.
  • Mediation is an informal, flexible and structured process to resolve a conflict, rather than getting involved in a complex legal process.
  • Should you wish to have control of the outcome of the conflict resolution process (unlike a lawsuit or arbitration where the third party decides for you).
  • Be creative in finding a better solution, rather than be constrained by the limited legal options of litigation or arbitration.
  • To repair or strengthen a relationship with the other party.
  • Feel good about trying to negotiate the issues yourself, rather than gambling that someone else can do it for you.
  • To find a realistic, workable solution to your problem based on your needs and interests.
