Our approach is to fully understand our clients' needs and objectives prior to mediation and assist them throughout the mediation process in achieving those objectives. We help our clients deal with not just legal issues, but assist in the emotional component and the psychology of mediation in order to obtain a result that lessens stress and allows for the continuation of the relationship, if desired.
