WHY MEDIATE?
Mediation serves to reduce the TIME, COST, ADVERSE PUBLICITY, RELATIONSHIP, and LACK OF CONTROL CAUSED BY LITIGATION.

When two parties have a dispute and wish to avoid the legal intricacies of litigation,they may call in a mediator to facilitate an equitable solution. While many are uncomfortable with lawyers,mediators are more often attributed with qualities of wisdom,trustworthiness and neutrality.
