Mediation Attorney

Mediation is the attempt to settle a legal dispute through active participation of a third party (mediator) who works to find points of agreement and make those in conflict agree on a fair result. Mediation differs from arbitration in which the third party (arbitrator) acts much like a judge but in an out-of-court less formal setting but does not actively participate in the discussion. Mediation has become very common in trying to resolve domestic relations disputes (divorce, child custody, visitation), and is often ordered by the judge in such cases. Mediation also has become more frequent in contract and civil damage cases. There are professional mediators, or lawyers who do some mediation for a period after mediation. However, mediation does not always result in a settlement.

1. Mediation explained:
This is where two parties in dispute meet with their mediation attorneys and an impartial mediator in order to resolve their differences. The purpose for this is to try and salvage whatever relationship the parties have left.

2. What does mediation accomplish:
Mediation works within a range of situations, including: divorce or child custody/visitation disputes, personal injury or accident cases, consumer complaints, business and commercial disagreements, and landlord-tenant fights. A Florida mediation attorney will be able to help you with the process.

3. Mediation versus a law suit:
The biggest difference between the two is that the mediation lawyers are not the ones in control, the lawyers are only there to help you understand the processes and to keep the conversations civil.

4. Mediation expectations:
There are basically two types of meetings that you might be party to. The first is one in which all parties meet together. The second is one in which only some of the parties meet. At the end of discussions, you can expect to sign a comprehensive document outlining the specifications of the agreement.
