WHAT IS MEDIATION?

Mediation is a creative settlement negotiation process facilitated by a neutral third party. This process is voluntary and confidential with the mediator having no authority to impose or decide the terms of any agreement. In mediation the parties develop their own terms of settlement.

The mediator does not represent either party nor give legal counsel. A mediated settlement agreement may affect a party's legal rights, so an attorney should be consulted prior to signing such an agreement.
