Northwest Mediation
Commercial & Family Mediation and Individual Dispute Resolution

​

THE MEDIATION PROCESS

Mediation is a voluntary, confidential method to resolve any dispute you have without both sides becoming entrenched in their positions and swamped with lawyers' fees and court costs.  Courts now require that before you issue proceedings you attempt to settle any dispute amicably.  Whether you call it civil mediation, commercial mediation, court mediation, family mediation or employment mediation it involves the same process.

The mediator does not take sides but is an independent party who assists all parties in seeing the issues clearly, dispassionately and in confidence.

At Northwest Mediation your mediator will speak with and listen to all sides involved in the dispute, helping everyone reach a resolution to their conflict. 

The meetings and the issues discussed are all without prejudice (off the record) so you can talk freely and discuss all your options before finding the best solution for you.

Unlike some mediators we can travel to you and will find a location to conduct your mediation which is near to you if you do not want to travel to our offices.
