Conflicts are an unfortunate part of life and for some there doesn’t seem to be a solution. When at a serious stalemate some think the only way forward is going to court. For many this is the wrong decision. What starts as a standstill quickly turns into combat consuming time, money and peace of mind.
Mediation uses structured discussion to reach a shared solution. Wants and needs are considered, and with the help of an experienced mediator, a solution that benefits both parties is reached.

A fall left my father with a serious medical condition. Our family had to make many hard choices about his healthcare. Many times we were at odds with each other about what was best for him. Mediation helped us all come to an agreement on what we think is the best long term plan for his recovery.
