Mediation

What is ADR?  Alternate Dispute Resolution.  A process by which two parties seek a mediator or arbitrator to resolve opposing issues.  It may be an employer and employee, husband and wife, or even something as simple as two neighbors arguing over a property line.

How does it work?  Many court systems are recommending, if not requiring that parties in disagreement seek ADR prior to initiating a lawsuit.  By a mutual decision, the parties decide to enlist the services of a mediator or arbitrator to help reach a settlement.  The difference is that an agreement reached by using a mediator is non-binding, and the same agreement IS binding if arbitration is chosen as the method of resolution.

I am a Certified Mediator in Georgia, Mississippi and Alabama, and registered with GAMA, the Global Arbitration Mediation Association.  Because of my professional business experience, human resource certifications, and coaching background, I specialize in employment and business related issues, and am available by appointment.  Mediation fees are very reasonable, especially when compared to hiring legal counsel and I will make certain that both parties fully understand them before we proceed.
