Mediation

How does mediation work?

Because a mediator doesn’t represent either party and cannot give legal advice to either side, each party may decide to have their attorneys present during the mediation or available for consultation. Once an agreement is reached, the mediator prepares a settlement agreement or a memorandum of understanding for the parties to give to their attorneys to formalize in a written agreement. It’s important to note that you should always consult with an attorney before finalizing any agreement reached through mediation. Mediation is available to resolve your dispute any time before a court issues a decision. It may be your first step to resolve your problem, or it may be the last attempt to reach a resolution before trial. If mediation isn’t successful, you can still seek a litigated resolution for your dispute from the court.
