All fees are due when the mediation has ended whether an agreement was reached or not.

  • Other variable costs include travel, room rental and photo copying documents.

What is Mediation?

Mediation is a voluntary and confidential process in which the mediator, a neutral third party, facilitates open and respectful communication between parties. Mediation allows parties to better understand and express their needs, interests, concerns, and to define the issues in their dispute more clearly. In mediation, the mediator assists parties in reaching a solution but does not make decisions or offer legal advice. Only the parties make the agreement.

How does mediation Works?

  1. 1. Suggest mediation. Mediation is a voluntary process and both sides need to agree to the process. I offer a free 15 minutes consultation to help you determine if mediation will work for your situation and offer guidance on introducing mediation to the other party.
  2. 2. Find a mediator you are comfortable working with. Check out:

    abrdc.com
  3. 3. Pre-Mediation. Once there is an agreement to mediate, the mediator meets each party privately, in person or online, to gather information and determine suitably. An important part of the mediation process is screening for safety.
  4. 4. Mediation Session. In person or online. Mediators will work with you to design a process that works for all involved and there can be more than one session if needed. I offer flexible hours and can work around your schedule.
  5. 5. Documentation, in the form of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU). The MOU can be filed with the courts to make it a legally binding agreement if needed.
