Mediation
Sometimes civil issues between two parties just need a skilled third party to help them problem solve. That’s where Mediation comes in.
Mediation is the most common form of alternative dispute resolution. All matters that end up in litigation arise from some sort of dispute. If you proceed through the legal process and end up in court, there is a winner and a loser. If that is your goal, the attorneys at Reed & Reed are more than capable. Some types of disputes are simply more suited for a trial. If, on the other hand, you would like the opportunity to keep the case out of the courtroom, Reed & Reed attorneys Stephen and Justin are ready to act as mediators.
Mediation is often an option when all parties involved are willing to come to the table open-minded and ready to negotiate. It also helps if the parties involved are somewhat equal in power.
Types of disputes that lend themselves to Mediation include small claims disputes where smaller amounts of money or neighborhood agreements are in question. Contract and land-use disputes as well as landlord/tenant issues may be served by Mediation. Divorce and child custody cases may also benefit from Mediation because they allow parties to work collaboratively to come to creative solutions for their situations.
