Why Us
Ideally, mediation should be considered before approaching the court. However, it can be used during any stage of the trial, on the day of the trial or post trial. It is a proven fact that mediated settlements are less prone to returning to the judicial annals.
The best alternative to litigation is through out-of-court negotiations. We provide you the tools, the options, the common ground. Use our system, our expertise and our process to create a mutually satisfactory outcome.
Our holistic, client-centric approach is an integration of all approaches achieved by harvesting the synergy of all efforts related to conflict management.
People are not just a bundle of problems to us. We believe that the whole is more than just the sum of the parts. This synergistic approach affords everybody the ability and motivation to do more with what little is available because this synergy simply creates more for all. Most of all, we strive to maintain the dignity and integrity of human relationships.
Holistic mediation is also an active and empowering approach. Mediation is all about self-determination.

Sometimes the Mediator may meet with the parties separately for a private discussion that might help move the parties toward a resolution. In short, the Mediator helps the parties in identifying and discussing the issues, in comprehending and dealing with the underlying feelings, problem solving, brainstorming alternatives, exploring options for resolution, developing better communication skills to address the other party, role-playing from a trunk full of other facilitation tools available
