Whether you have been ordered to attempt to resolve a matter through the mediation process by a court system or have voluntarily determined to seek a resolution of your dispute, we welcome the opportunity to assist you. We recognize you have a choice of professionals and are honored you are considering us. We value your confidence and strive to provide services that we consider some of the finest available in mediation practice today. Mediation is self-directed; what parties are willing to invest in the process has a direct effect on any outcome. To be successful, all parties are encouraged to speak honestly while respecting the other's need to do the same. Our mediators are carefully screened. All are committed to what they sincerely feel is their vocation to help conflicting parties to settle their differences and to promote compromise. Welcome. We appreciate the opportunity to assist you.
Nedra L. Wick
Our MissionMediation
is a cost-effective, cooperative means to resolve
We advise parties not represented in mediation to have their own attorney review any agreement prior to it becoming final. Once the agreement is finalized, it is legally binding. Parties share details of the agreement only with whom they choose or agree it may be shared, and if required by the circumstances, they will also submit it for court approval. While our mediators are licensed attorneys they will not provide legal, financial or tax advice to any party. Because mediation is private and confidential, once the process is complete the mediator destroys all notes and other records kept during the sessions. Mediation is voluntary and any party may end the process at any time.
