Mediation

In today’s litigation climate virtually every court will require the parties to attend mediation. Mediation is useful both in terms of settling a claim as well as discovering weaknesses in your claim as well as weaknesses and/or strengths in the opposing party’s claims against you. There are numerous strategies on how to handle mediation and proper preparation for a mediation puts you in the best position for a favorable outcome. Many people put a bottom line resolution into their plan prior to entering mediation. This sometimes works but as often as not if you (or your attorney) are a creative out-of-the-box thinker you can craft a solution to offer to the other side that will allow the case to be resolved favorably to you.
