Mediation Offers Affordable Resolve
Ms. James is a Certified Mediator with years of experience helping parties resolve their issues and find solutions that work best for all involved. Virtual mediations are convenient and allow a space where conflict can safely be addressed.
Mediation have a high rate of success and give parties an opportunity to resolve disputes on their own terms rather than have decisions made for them by a judge.
Another advantage is that unlike divorce proceedings, nothing discussed or decided is made part of the public record. The process is private and confidential, and involves no hearings or trial.
Mediation allows parties to:
- Resolve issues without ever stepping into a courtroom which is much cheaper and much quicker than the court process.
- Discuss concerns, find common ground and work toward mutually acceptable solutions.
- Use conflict as an opportunity for better understanding and stronger connection.
- Have your legal counsel present to advise and help.
If mediation is not successful, the parties can proceed in court without anything that was discussed at mediation being revealed.
*Ms. James cannot represent either party in a mediation she conducts. Impartiality to both parties must be maintained for a fair outcome.
*If you are her client, she can attend mediation with you to assure your best interests are protected.
