What is Mediation?

Mediation is an alternative dispute resolution where both parties can reach a shared agreement that keeps them out of litigation altogether. It’s less stressful, more affordable, and can preserve relationships to their best possible extent. You can even conduct mediation over Zoom, allowing you to resolve disputes in a familiar and comfortable environment without the inconvenience of traveling.

Well-trained mediation lawyers can settle most pretrial disputes. As your mediation attorney, Adelmis B. Naderpour, can help you reach a just resolution.

How Does Mediation Work?

Mediation is a confidential process where a mediation lawyer serves as an impartial third party. During individual and joint sessions, the mediator defines the problem, interprets concerns, and relays information between both parties.

As unbiased professionals, mediation lawyers remain neutral, but do not encourage or dissuade one party over the other in working towards an agreement.

Florida law requires both parties to attend mediation prior to a judge setting the final hearing in their case. However, mediation can take place before a case is ever filed, whether you represent yourself (pro se) or are represented by counsel.

Advantages of Mediation

You are in control of your future. Through mediation, it’s up to both parties to decide on the outcome, rather than leaving it up to a judge.

Mediation is an affordable alternative to litigation. Litigation is very costly, and attorney’s fees add up quickly. Mediation fees are a fraction of these costs.

Mediation is less time-consuming than litigation. Court dockets are full almost year-round. Mediation offers you a more reasonable timetable for you to attempt to resolve your dispute.

Mediation can preserve relationships. The goal of mediation is for the parties to reach an amicable resolution. Mediation typically tends to preserve business or family relationships to the greatest extent possible, which is less likely to happen through litigation.

Mediation typically allows for better results and greater compliance. Mediation does not have a “winner” or “loser” because both parties agree on their settlement terms. Since these terms are mutually agreed upon, compliance with mediated agreements is generally higher than with lawsuits.
