Hopefully, in the last blog I established the wisdom of going to a mediation. This blog will address how I, as your attorney, believe the mediation should be approached. The mediation is done in a private office, not in a courtroom. It is nevertheless adversarial, although politely so.There can be more than ten people present.
One of the best tools in a personal injury lawyer’s arsenal is mediation. Mediation is a form of alternative dispute resolution. Mediation is a voluntary process and non-binding. It is voluntary in the sense that both parties have to agree to attend. It is not final and binding as in the case of arbitration, yet another form of alternative dispute resolution.
