Mediation is a means of resolving disputes without involving the court system.

Mediators act as an impartial third person that helps the parties involved discuss the conflict, identify and assess their options, and ultimately come to an agreement.

Generally the process of mediation is an easier and much less stressful alternative to court, and it’s a great way to reach a resolution that’s more likely to satisfy everyone involved.
