Mediation:  Why Consider It?

Litigation proves to be a costly and inefficient method for resolving conflicts. Mediation can be an efficient way to address conflict resolution.  In this 3 part series, I will discuss why you should consider Mediation, how do you know your case is a good case for Mediation, the benefits of Mediation. 

You are experiencing an issue with another party.  You are contemplating whether you should represent yourself or hire an attorney to file suit against that party.  Or you are on the receiving end of the stick.  You’ve just received paperwork which includes a complaint from another party. What to do now? In litigation, both sides are burdened with the expenses of legal representation, and attorneys often engage in lengthy procedural maneuvers for strategic advantages, prolonging the resolution process even before reaching trial. While this benefits lawyers, it poses significant financial strain on those footing the legal bills.

You’ve heard of those stories where individuals are forced to deplete their life’s savings, including funds earmarked for their children’s education, while embroiled in legal battles. In such scenarios, victory becomes a hollow concept.

In contrast, mediation offers a different approach. While parties do compensate the mediator, they’re only paying one professional focused on reaching a resolution. By prioritizing collaborative problem-solving, mediation proves considerably swifter and more cost-effective. Many disputes find resolution within a single day or a few sessions, significantly reducing financial expenditure. At McLean Law, we help you navigate through all conflicts to come to a satisfactory resolution.  From simple family matters to complex divorces, custody and division of assets cases. Addressing all facets of a divorce typically necessitates several sessions, however the benefits are immeasurable.  We also mediate contract and business disputes.
