Whether you are discussing divorce, child custody, or probate matters, each can be addressed outside the courtroom through mediation, or inside the courtroom through litigation.
Mediation allows a neutral third party to facilitate a discussion between the two parties to negotiate a resolution for each matter without the court’s involvement.
Litigation is handled inside the courtroom, in front of a judge, where each side argues the facts of the case to achieve the best outcome for their client.
In mediation, the two parties can make informed decisions in private. Once the case goes to court, the judge is the one making the decisions.
