Frequently Asked Questions
Is the mediation private and
confidential?
Yes. Everyone participating in the mediation must sign a confidentiality agreement stating that what is said during the mediation is private and confidential, and cannot
be used in any court proceedings, the news media or otherwise.
Where will the mediation be held?
Generally, we will reserve a conference room at a location convenient to all attendees.
Can I bring a lawyer?
Mediation is a non-adversarial process used as an alternative to the court system for resolving disputes. It is not necessary to have an attorney present during the mediation. If participants need legal clarification on any matter, they may consult an attorney outside of the mediation. Participants are encouraged to have their mediated agreements reviewed by an attorney prior to signing. If one or both parties prefer to have an attorney present, that's fine as long as the other party consents.
How much time will it take to mediate?
Many cases can be resolved in a single 3-hour session. However, multiple sessions may be necessary for more complex cases.
MSLLC accepts the following case types:
Business, Real Estate, Property, Education, Construction, Family, Divorce, Custody, Post Divorce issues, Domestic Reconciliation, Elder Care, Adoption, Wills, Trusts, and Probate issues. Other case types will be considered through consultation.
