Mediation & Conflict Resolution

What is Mediation?

Mediation is a structured, informal negotiation process. A process where a neutral mediator utilizes specialized communication and negotiation techniques. This is completely voluntary, confidential, transparent and flexible that helps assist parties in identifying issues and resolving their disputes. We make time to discuss your issue, explore differences, and encourage respect. Mediation only works if both parties come to resolve a conflict in good faith. This means that both parties will listen to what the other is saying.

Why Mediation?

Mediation is a voluntary, inexpensive process to help people come to a resolution. We work with you to reach an agreement that works for all parties involved and make sure everyone’s needs are met. You have more control over the outcome! It is a good alternative to going to court.
