DOES MEDIATION WORK?
Mediation is successful about 90 percent of the time. Mediation allows the participants to say what is on their minds and to vent their frustrations and pressures. That opportunity to express their feelings and be heard in a structured an controlled format lends itself to meaningful problem solving. Participants in mediation do not waive any legal rights so they do not risk losing access to court processes if mediation is not successful.
HOW DO I GET STARTED?
Mediation Works staff will schedule the mediation. The presence of attorneys in the mediation depends upon the preference of the parties. Some cases can be resolved in a single session; other more complex cases may require several sessions. Mediation typically can be scheduled within three weeks. Payment is due at the time services are rendered
