Mediation:

Mediation is a means of reaching agreement over hard issues, using one or more neutral parties to assist in communication.  We create a safe place for honest speaking and deep listening to take place.

The mediator does not decide anything: the parties create their own agreement.  The process is voluntary and can be terminated at any time by either party if agreement is not reached.  It is confidential.

Mediation is flexible and informal, and allows for great creativity by the parties.  It is quicker, less expensive and less stressful than court-based procedures.  Often, parties can reach agreement in one day.

Mediation is particularly appropriate for continuing relationships (such as partnerships or family-owned businesses, workplace disputes, divorcing parents, siblings, neighbors, churches or nonprofits).

Because agreements are created and owned by the parties, they are much more likely to be honored.

We work with individuals, organizations and attorneys.

If you think your case is suitable for mediation, call us at: 202-359-6141



 
"We brought Sig and Carolyn a hopeless impasse and two parties not at all inclined to compromise. We couldn't even speak to each other. At the start I was honest and open about my utter lack of confidence in Sig and Carolyn or in the process. But they grasped the essential dynamic of our conflict pretty quickly, gained our trust with humor and understanding, and found more common ground than I thought we had. And unlike other facilitators we'd sought out for help in the past they kept the inspirational rhetoric to a minimum, focusing instead on the nuts and bolts of compromise. It was a ... miracle."
