Mediation

While litigation can be an effective approach for obtaining the results our clients want, it does comes with drawbacks such as high legal costs, busy court calendars, and a significant emotional toll on our clients. That’s why one of our most important jobs is to keep our clients informed of legal alternatives such as Divorce Mediation.

At the Law Offices of Patricia A. Hendrickson & Associates, we recognize the value of mediation as a viable approach for divorce and encourage our clients to determine if it is a good fit for them. Divorce mediation delivers positive outcomes for the vast majority of our clients who elect to use it, without the high cost, time commitment and stress of going through litigation.

There are several different ways to mediate a divorce. Sometimes our divorce mediation lawyers act as a neutral third party and assist the couple through the divorce process. We can also represent one party and conduct negotiations with the spouse. Another common form of mediation involves negotiating with the other party’s attorney. The role of our divorce mediation attorney in mediation is to help you through the process and provide services such as reviewing proposed agreements or settlement terms to make sure they support your best interest.

For couples who are interested in our mediation services, we offer trained divorce mediation attorneys to facilitate the dissolution of their marriage.
