Mediation: A Better Option

Conflicts are everywhere.  They present themselves in various forms and degrees.  Children arguing over toys is just as real a conflict as corporations entrenched in protecting trade secrets.  Determining the liability and damages in a fender-bender requires the same care and precision as addressing these issues in a wrongful death claim.  While the stakes of each scenario differ, the goal is always the same: to reach a fair and equitable solution.

Unfortunately, in the litigation process parties do not typically seek a solution to conflict.  Rather, attorneys and parties fight for their position until money is gone, a verdict is reached, or the appeal process is exhausted.  There are winners, and there are losers.  And the outcome is as uncertain as tomorrow's weather.

But there is a better option: mediation.  Mediation is a flexible, voluntary process where parties - not a jury or a judge - control the outcome.  The mediator facilitates communication and helps the parties think "outside the box" in order to reach an agreeable resolution.  What's more, the process works.

Since 1995 I have been providing mediation services to my colleagues in Erie, Pittsburgh, Meadville, and throughout western Pennsylvania as a positive and superior alternative to trial.  Do you have a case ready for mediation?  If so, I would appreciate the opportunity to mediate it with you and allow you to see first hand why mediation is a better option for you.
