Mediation Services

What is Mediation?

Mediation is a confidential, voluntary dispute resolution process using a neutral third party. Unlike litigation, participants control outcomes while improving communication. Most effective for individuals ready to negotiate in good faith collaboratively.

Important Note: Mediation is not a legal service. I do not provide legal advice, testimony, or serve as a court witness.
