Mediation is the structured and interactive process for parties to resolve conflicts outside the courtroom. An impartial mediator helps guide the parties to actively reach a mutually beneficial resolution to their issues within the legal boundaries. The results could be creative and beyond the confines of what the laws could award. Cases can range from civil harassment, breach of contract, landlord/tenant disputes, to marital dissolution.
