Consider Mediation to Resolve Your Dispute

When most people think of lawyers, they assume they spend most of their time in court, litigating disputes on behalf of their clients. In reality, a great deal of the civil, non-criminal practice of law involves non-litigated resolution of disputes. 95% of all civil cases are settled and do not make it all the way to a trial. Our attorneys always try to negotiate with opposing counsel to see if the dispute can be settled on mutually agreeable terms. When our direct efforts are unsuccessful, a neutral third party called a mediator can often get the parties on the same page. Mediation can be a cost effective and faster way of resolving legal disputes. Our firm has a certified family law mediator who regularly acts as a neutral. We also participate as advocates for our clients in a wide range of mediated cases which can include divorce, child support, custody, personal injury, contracts, business law and even mortgage foreclosure. A good attorney realizes that a mediated resolution of a case is often the best possible result for a client. If you are concerned about the high costs of litigation and/or just want to get your case completed as quickly as possible, contact us to discuss if mediation is a good option for you.
