Valentine Mediation

Mediation is the basic cooperative process which uses a facilitator. It involves two or more parties or sides, and a mediator. The mediator guides the process and creates a safe place for the parties to work, but does not decide the issues. There is no agreement until the parties make one.

This process can be used before litigation to avoid litigation, during litigation to focus or eliminate issues, and after litigation to resolve issues which might otherwise be appealed. Mediation can also be used in execution of judgments.
