About mediation
A voluntary, confidential path to resolution.
Mediation is a voluntary and confidential process that helps people resolve disagreements with the support of a neutral third party. Rather than having a judge or court decide the outcome, mediation allows those involved to work together toward their own mutually acceptable agreement.
The mediator’s role is not to take sides or determine who is right or wrong. Instead, the mediator facilitates a structured, respectful conversation — helping participants clarify issues, communicate effectively, and explore solutions that are practical, fair, and sustainable.
Types of mediation
Two practices, one steady process.
Civil mediation
Resolving disputes between individuals, professionals, or organizations outside of court — clarifying the issues, identifying shared interests, and working toward mutually acceptable solutions.
- Business or partnership disputes
- Contract disagreements
- Workplace or professional conflicts
- Property or financial disputes
- Community or neighbor conflicts
Family mediation
Supporting individuals and families through complex transitions in a respectful, constructive way — focusing on practical solutions while reducing unnecessary conflict.
- Parenting plans
- Custody and co-parenting arrangements
- Family communication challenges
- Financial agreements related to separation
- Other family transition issues
Is mediation right for you?
A practical alternative to court.
- You want more control over the outcome instead of a judge deciding
- Both parties are willing to discuss possible solutions, even amid disagreement
- You want to resolve the issue more efficiently than litigation
- You prefer a confidential process over a public court matter
- There is an ongoing relationship you want to preserve or manage
- You are interested in practical solutions that work for both parties
Mediation does not require the parties to agree at the start — only a willingness to engage in the process and consider options. If you are unsure whether mediation fits your situation, an initial consultation can help.
Mediation fees
Transparent, hourly, and scoped to your case.
Mediation is offered at an hourly rate, with half-day and full-day sessions available depending on the needs of the parties. Fee details and scheduling are discussed during the initial consultation.
