What advantages do you see for lawyers and their clients in choosing mediation to resolve their disputes?

“This can be a highly personal and emotional process and mediation offers the opportunity to find a resolution while preserving family relationships. Mediation has already demonstrated that it affords the parties a proven method to resolve their disputes in a more timely and affordable manner than traditional avenues while also permitting the participants intimate and immediate access to a neutral, qualified expert.” – MSNY Mediator Matthew G. Kiernan, Esq.
