Why Mediation

Mediation has soared in popularity because of its great benefits. Most individuals and families can successfully resolve divorce and other family disputes using mediation.

In divorce mediation I serve as an impartial third party to help couples discuss, negotiate, and resolve their disputes by creating a fair and durable agreement.

Here are the chief reasons so many people are choosing mediation.

• Mediation saves money. Mediation is far less costly than paying two lawyers.
• Mediation is faster. You control the timing, not the court system.  Mediation will go as fast or slowly as you want.  Most of my mediation cases are completed in 3 months (compared to 1 year in litigation cases.)
• Lawyers aren’t in charge. My mediation clients use lawyers and other professionals only to whatever extent is helpful. 
• Mediation is more amicable. Mediation is focused on solving problems and creating agreement, not going to battle.  This is especially important for co-parents.
• Create Agreements that Work for You. In mediation divorcing couples can create unique agreements that fit you own needs and your family situation. 
• Greater Satisfaction. Because they craft their own customized agreements, my mediation clients are far more satisfied with the terms.
