Mediation

An Option for Resolving Your Dispute: Mediation




What is mediation?


• A voluntary way to resolve your case with the help of a neutral person (the mediator).
Instead of having a judge decide your case, you can work with a mediator to settle
your case. You can still go to trial if you do not reach an agreement.

• The mediator will help you and the other party communicate and come up with
options to settle the case. The mediator does not take sides or give legal advice.
