WHY MEDIATE
 

Mediation is an alternative to traditional posturing, threats and winner-take-all attitudes. Mediation is a way to make sure that your money is best spent on your business, yourself and your family -- not on your lawyers. Mediation offers you control of your own time and schedule, without being subject to court hours or judges' chambers. And, most of all, in a mediated agreement, you are the driving and deciding force behind what is fair, equitable and workable. You take your fate into your own hands, rather than ceding it to a judge.

Mediation offers a way to end a relationship the way it began -- with good intentions. It offers a way to show your partner respect even if friendship or love no longer exists. And it offers a model of civilized and respectful behavior for your colleagues, employees, siblings and children, relieving them of the pressure to choose sides.
