Both Parties Agree to Mediate

The next step is for both individuals to agree that mediation is the best way forward. At our firm, we ensure that both parties are committed to the process and understand their roles. An attorney serves as an impartial guide, and both parties must be willing to cooperate to find a mutually beneficial resolution. This agreement is foundational.
