What is Mediation?

Mediation is a method of alternative dispute resolution that encourages parties to resolve issues in a non-adversarial way with the help of a trained, neutral mediator. Mediation may be with or without the participation of attorneys, depending on the preference of the parties, and the stage in the process at which mediation is initiated.
