Why Mediate?

Mediating parties control the terms of their agreement, unlike an adjudicated ruling
Opportunity for personalized agreements
Avoidance of court judgments on public record
Confidential
Far less costly than litigation or arbitration
Mediated agreements have better compliance rates
Less time-consuming than litigation or arbitration
Can be scheduled immediately
Less stressful
Does not require legal representation
Wider scope to discussion and agreement than what is allowed in court
Less adversarial and can improve understanding and restore trust
When agreement is not reached, mediation is still a useful preparation for court
Reduce risk of unfavorable judgment–there is no such thing as a bullet-proof case
