How Mediation Works
A quick overview of what to expect from the mediation process, from start to resolution.
Voluntary Process
Both parties agree to work with a neutral third party to resolve a dispute without going to court.
Joint Sessions
A mediator facilitates structured conversations, helping each side understand the other's position.
Neutral Guidance

Written Agreement
Successful mediations end in a written settlement agreement that both parties sign.
