Why Use Virtual Mediation
In mediation, each party has the opportunity to have private, confidential, exchanges with the neutral serving as mediator, confident that the mediator may not disclose any information shared without the party’s express direction to do so. Nothing shared or discussed in a mediation is admissible at trial, and the mediator may not be compelled to testify. This individual confidentiality fosters the type of candid communication necessary for the mediator to effectively assist the parties with their individual assessments and negotiating strategy.
Cost-Effective
With no travel time, you can avoid the expense of missing work or having to hire childcare in order to meet with your attorney and mediator.
Convenient
With the use of an online platform, you can work through the issues of your case with your mediator regardless of if you are two hours away or two minutes away. Video Conferences via Zoom can be scheduled in the safety and comfort of your own home or office and at times that best suit your busy schedule.
