• Effective: A mediator will craft an agreement all parties agree to.
• Personal: Solutions are formed based upon your needs.
• A Win-Win Situation: The mediator will attempt to reach an agreement that is appealing to all parties.
• Efficient: Sessions will be scheduled as soon as possible after initial contact.
• Empowering: The parties involved mutually agree on a solution.
• Confidential: Nothing is discussed outside the mediation.
• Voluntary: Both parties must voluntarily agree to participate in order for a mediation to occur.
• Free: Mediation is absolutely free.
