Mediation is significantly less expensive than litigation. The mediation process provides a more timely way of resolving disputes, significantly reducing the cost involved to reach an agreement or settlement.
Mediation allows you to reach your own settlement instead of one that is imposed upon you by a third party. Parties who negotiate their own settlements have more control over the outcome of their dispute.
Mediation is a confidential process, not open to the public, and is conducted with a non-partial third party, the mediator. Mediation proceedings are subject to the full extent of protection permitted by the law.
