Mediation can allow the parties to agree outside the trial process, and mediation has several advantages over litigation. For instance, despite the best efforts of counsel and the courts, it is often impossible to predict when a case will be called to trial. Delays like these can cause unavoidable anxiety for the parties and add to the expense of litigation. Moreover, mediation is a more flexible process and can lead to a quicker and more confidential resolution of your case.

Most importantly, mediation can be effective since participants are generally more likely to comply with the terms of a settlement, they agreed to rather than a judgment imposed by the court. Mediation is also a great opportunity for the parties to take the initiative and resolve the issues in their case themselves instead of sitting on the sidelines at trial. At the same time, a judge makes life-affecting decisions over which you will have no control.

Lastly, while court hearings are generally public, mediation in most circumstances remains a confidential process. This confidentiality ensures that the details of your dispute remain private, providing a sense of security and comfort during the resolution process.
