What Is Mediation?
Mediation is a voluntary and confidential process where a neutral third party—known as the mediator—helps people communicate, negotiate, and reach mutual agreements. Unlike a judge, the mediator does not make decisions or take sides. Instead, the mediator guides constructive discussions, clarifies priorities, and encourages collaboration to reach fair and lasting resolutions. At The Nice Law Firm, we believe mediation empowers families to resolve disputes privately and respectfully, without the emotional and financial toll of courtroom litigation.
How the Mediation Process Works
Agreement to Mediate – Both parties voluntarily agree to participate in the process.
Opening Meeting – The mediator explains the process, sets ground rules, and allows both sides to share their perspectives.
Private Discussions – The mediator may meet privately with each party to explore goals and solutions.
Resolution and Agreement – The parties work together to create a written agreement that reflects their understanding and commitments.
