Mediation
In a mediation the attorney acts as a neutral party who facilitates negotiations between parties. Mediation takes place in the privacy of the lawyer’s office and has the advantage of full participation by both parties. Many people feel mediation is more respectful and less intimidating than the courtroom.
In family law, resolution of troubling issues in a private setting allows a healthy transition to co-parenting or single life. The agreements are written down but not the problems. The hurtful and public nature of court proceedings can leave lasting injury between co-parents or those who divorce without children.
