Mediation
Sometimes, even when you don't expect it, a resolution is just right around the corner. It is not uncommon for difficult, stubborn issues to get resolved in mediation. And often it can feel like a ton of bricks lifted off of you when you walk out of a day of mediation with an agreed resolution in hand.
Mediation is a non-litigation choice for settling disputes. This means that YOU decide when and how to settle. And, yes, it happens all the time--and it's a good thing!
How does mediation work? Very simply, the parties to a dispute agree to a date and time to meet with a qualified neutral professional (the Mediator), who's job it is to have the parties come up with creative strategies that address and resolve the problems at hand. A good mediator does not tell you what to do--YOU DECIDE. A good mediator does not order the resolution--YOU DECIDE the resolution. But beware, a good mediator might just pull out of you a fantastic idea or plan that sets every party on the right track to a favorable resolution.
The mediation process usually can be done in a day's time shortly after reasonable and meaningful disclosure and exchange of information happens. And the process of mediation can usually take place at a fraction of the cost of going to court. Who wouldn't want to settle a case cheaper and quicker with a resolution that is crafted by the parties themselves?
