Why Choose Mediation?

There are many types of conflict and dispute resolution processes available to people who wish to resolve their disputes out of court.  They each have their specific characteristics, strengths, and weaknesses. Depending on the nature of the dispute, and the character of the parties, one or more of them might be more beneficial than others.

Methods of dispute resolution that do not involve use of court and judges to make decisions are termed “alternative dispute resolution” or “ADR”.   Alternative Dispute Resolution including mediation dispute resolution has been in existence for over 30 years and has become a major method used to resolve disputes. 

Mediation dispute resolution is surprisingly effective in many cases, even when there is a difference in styles of communication and expression between the parties involved.   A trained conflict resolution mediator can facilitate a discussion in mediation dispute resolution, and make sure the needs and thoughts of each party are expressed and heard.
