Mediation
Mediation is a different approach to resolving disputes. Parties derive
satisfaction in successfully reaching their own agreements with the
help and guidance of a mediator.
Mediation
provides a non-adversarial environment for the participants to
“let-their-guard-down” and work together with the mediator to explore
alternative ideas and ways to reach agreement.
The Mediator is a neutral facilitator working to create a positive atmosphere conducive to settlement. Mediation
works for multiple areas of dispute such as family issues, real
estate/construction disputes, probate disputes, and organizational
conflicts (such as workplace, offices, churches, and schools).

There are multiple approaches to
resolving disputes.
Just as there are multiple areas of dispute: family issues, real
estate/construction disputes, organizational conflicts (workplace,
offices, churches) and civil litigation. Different disputes require
different approaches to resolving those disputes.
Crilley Mediation Services is pleased to be able to offer a wider range of alternative forms of dispute resolution:
MEDIATION
- Mediation provides a non-adversarial environment for the participants
to work together with the mediator to explore alternative ideas and
ways to reach agreement. The mediator is a neutral facilitator working
to create a positive atmosphere conducive to settlement. Participants
may attend with or without their attorney.
FACILITATED SETTLEMENT - The
neutral facilitator helps guide the parties through their own
settlement of their disputes. Attorneys usually attend with the
participants.
ARBITRATION
- Participants submit their disagreement to an impartial arbitrator,
usually agreeing that the arbitrator's ruling in the dispute will be
binding and final. Attorneys usually attend with the participants.
MEDIATION, FACILITATED SETTLEMENT, and ARBITRATION
may occur in a joint session with all parties and the mediator
present. Or, the session may be conducted in caucus style, meaning the
participants are in separate rooms and the mediator works back and
forth between the participants’ rooms.
