Mediation is a process in which a neutral third party helps parties reach agreements. This person can be a friend, family member, lawyer, or judge. The mediator’s job is to help the two sides come to an agreement. They don’t make or enforce any decisions, but they try to help the parties resolve their problems. Some of these concerns may be quite complex, which is why you can hire a mediation attorney to help.
A successful mediation will have both parties walking away 90% happy. There’s no need to drag out your disagreement with endless litigation. Contact Arvanitakis Law Group to serve as your mediator.

- Parties have more flexibility to reach agreements
- Pre-suit mediation does not prevent the parties from making formal legal filings later on.
- You must know your rights if you choose to not participate in a pre-suit mediation
