What is mediation? IT’S NOT COURT, AND IT’S NOT PUBLIC LIKE COURT!

Mediation is a process where a trained mediator from Kreider Mediation helps individuals in a dispute communicate more effectively and explore potential solutions. Unlike a judge or arbitrator, mediators do not make decisions or offer advice about the case. Instead, they assist in facilitating the exchange of information and possible settlement options between the parties involved. Mediation promotes a cooperative environment, which helps create a foundation for constructive communication in the future.

Mediation Mediators will remain 100 percent neutral because they do not have a personal interest in the outcome of mediation. Mediators are simply there to help disputing parties negotiate a solution they both can agree upon. 

Benefits of Mediation

  • Control…Mediation is a win-win situation. The outcome is based on both parties looking for an agreeable outcome. There is no judge, no jury, no one to decide for you…but you!
  • Confidential. Unlike the publicity of court proceedings, everything said at the mediation is entirely confidential to the parties. 
  • Voluntary. The disputing parties are there because they want to be there. No one is forcing you to go…
  • Convenience. The mediation is arranged at a venue (We can mediate online via Zoom) convenient to the parties, who each have their room as well as a separate room for joint meetings. Our Mediators listen to everyone’s view and talk to the parties privately or together, guiding them towards a settlement. 
  • Reduced Costs. The cost is greatly reduced in comparison with trying to settle the matter through court. Lawyers and court costs can be very expensive. We charge based on how complex your case is.
  • Faster outcome. Because mediation can be used early in a dispute, an agreement can usually be reached quicker than if pursued through the courts. It usually lasts a few hours to a couple of days, but you choose how long.
  • Support. Mediators are trained to work with difficult situations. Our Mediators act as neutral facilitators and support each party through the process. We have never turned our back on any party.
  • Preservation of Relationships. Whether it may be a business or family dispute, the preservation of relationships can be a key benefit of mediation. Our Mediator helps participants focus on effectively communicating with each other as opposed to attacking each other. You may walk away from the mediation with a mending relationship!
