Mediation is a process where two or more people in a dispute work with a neutral third party to find a compromise. The neutral party, or mediator, is not a judge and does not make decisions about a case. The mediator simply works with the parties in conflict and their attorneys, if they have legal representation, to facilitate communication and find a middle ground to settle issues. By settling through mediation, the parties in dispute avoid courtrooms and trials and save money in litigation costs. The process of mediation not only reduces costs but can reduce the lengthy process of a case and stress to all parties involved.
