Mediation is an informal and confidential way for people to resolve disputes with the help of a neutral mediator who is trained to help people discuss their differences. The mediator does not decide who is right or wrong or issue a decision. Instead, the mediator helps the parties work out their own solutions to problems.
One of the greatest benefits of mediation is that it allows people to resolve the issues in a friendly way and in ways that meet their own unique needs that is less expensive that litigation. Also, an issue can be resolved faster through mediation. Mediation is fair, efficient and can help the parties avoid a lengthy litigation process and the publicity that is associated with lawsuits.
