Mediation

Mediation provides an alternative method of resolving disagreements without having to go to court, which can save you a tremendous amount of time and money. At Olin Lippiello LLP, our mediators are trained and experienced attorneys. Through the mediation process, individuals involved in a dispute work out their own solutions with the help of a mediator. The mediator does not enforce a decision on the participants but helps guide them in reaching their own solutions. Since the individuals involved in the dispute play active roles in resolving the problem, they usually are comfortable and supportive of the agreed-upon outcome.

Successful mediations often result in written agreements that are signed by both individuals in a dispute. We can help you draft the agreement. If the parties do not reach a mutually agreeable solution, either or both of the parties may still file a court action.

Mediation procedures are voluntary, and usually take place in one or more sessions. Our role at Olin Lippiello LLP is to work with both parties in a dispute to identify the issues, reduce misunderstandings, clarify priorities, vent emotions, find points of agreement, explore new areas of compromise, and negotiate an agreement.
