Privacy - Mediation is a confidential meeting held in a private office, not a public affair aired in open court. Mediation allows you to maintain control over the outcome of the dispute, rather than giving that power to a judge or jury. Emotion - Mediation is not an adversarial process. It is a cooperative effort between the parties to negotiate mutually agreeable terms to end the dispute. It avoids the stress and contention of litigation for everyone.
Mediation can set the tone for a positive and constructive relationship in the future.
Litigation will not. Your tomorrows may be brighter if you mediate today.
