"Discourage litigation.
Persuade your neighbors to compromise
Whenever you can.
Point out to them how the nominal winner
Is often the real loser
In fees, expenses and waste of time.
As a peacemaker
The lawyer has a superior opportunity
Of being a good man.
Never stir up litigation.
A worse man can scarcely be found
Than one who does this."
Abraham Lincoln

WHAT IS FAMILY MEDIATION?
It is an alternative to the traditional adversarial process of litigation in the family courts and helps in resolving the disputes associated with separation and divorce, family business, eldercare, inheritance, and parenting.
It is a cooperative process in which parties work together with a neutral mediator to reach agreements on such issues as parenting arrangements, financial support, property settlement, business arrangements, and other family matters.
Once an agreement is reached it may then be taken to each party's attorney for review and legal implementation. Learn more about
family mediation.
