FAQ

Mediation is a voluntary, confidential process where a neutral third party (the mediator) helps disputing parties communicate and reach a mutually agreeable solution. Unlike court, you control the outcome, the process is private, and it typically costs a fraction of litigation while resolving much faster.

Costs vary depending on the complexity and number of sessions required. We offer a free initial consultation to discuss your situation and provide a clear fee estimate. Mediation is consistently more affordable than courtroom litigation — often saving thousands of dollars.
