What is mediation?
_______________

Mediation is a lower cost alternative to the litigation of disputes. It is a dispute resolution method that utilizes a neutral third party to assist disputing parties in reaching an agreement. A mediator with knowledge of the law, and knowledge of the particular case, acts as a neutral third party, (meaning that they do not represent either party) and tries to find a solution to the problem that both parties can agree to. Costs are typically a fraction of the cost of litigation if an agreement can be reached. Contact Whitaker & Shade to find out if mediation is right for your situation.
