Here at Sierra Family Law, we understand that navigating family disputes can be emotionally and financially taxing. That's why we believe in a straightforward, supportive approach to a potentially difficult situation. Mediation is a powerful tool that allows you and the other party to work together toward a resolution with the help of a neutral third-party attorney. It’s a process focused on cooperation rather than conflict, empowering you to control the outcome of your future. We are dedicated to providing clear guidance every step of the way.
How to Begin the Family Mediation Process with Sierra Family Law
Initiating Mediation with an Attorney
To begin, one or both parties can express interest in mediation. This can be done by reaching out to Ms. Salina Sierra at Sierra Family Law. Our initial consultation will help you understand if mediation is the right path for your unique circumstances. We serve clients throughout Sacramento, Placer, and Yolo counties with expert legal guidance.
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.
Selecting and Scheduling Your Mediation Session
Once both parties have committed, you can select your mediator and schedule the first session. As the sole attorney at our firm, Ms. Salina Sierra will serve as your neutral mediator. We'll find a time and date that works for everyone. At Sierra Family Law, we strive to make this part of the process as easy and stress-free as possible.
Submitting Pre-Mediation Documents
Before your first session, we will ask you to submit specific pre-mediation documents. These submissions help Ms. Salina Sierra prepare for your session and allow us to use the time most effectively. Providing a clear and complete picture of your situation is key to ensuring a smooth and productive session, which ultimately saves time and money for all parties.
