Solutions for Cost-Effective Dispute Resolution
Metropolitan Mediation Services St. Louis Mediators Serving the Local Community
People can resolve disputes without a trial. Alternative dispute resolution (ADR) refers to the different processes that include mediation. Mediation is confidential, less formal, and less stressful than traditional court proceedings. Mediation often saves money and speeds settlement.
In mediation, parties play an important role in resolving their own disputes. This often results in creative solutions, longer-lasting outcomes, greater satisfaction, and improved relationships.
In mediation, a neutral person called a mediator helps the parties to reach a mutually acceptable resolution of the dispute. The mediator does not decide the case but helps the parties communicate so they can try to settle the dispute themselves.
Mediation is a voluntary process to reach a mutually acceptable settlement of issues in dispute. Voluntary refers to parties that have freely chosen participation and freely made agreements.
