Mediation is an alternative method of dispute resolution that allows families to come to resolutions that meet their particular needs. For many years, Kundel Law Office has guided Muscatine-area families through the process of mediation.
Mediation offers myriad benefits, including:
- Control over the outcome: through mediation, you retain a greater measure of control over your own future
- Outcomes that meet your unique needs
- Confidentiality: like collaborative law, mediation is confidential. Nothing that is said in a mediation room becomes part of a public record
- Cost-effectiveness: mediation can save thousands in court costs
A mediator is a neutral party that does not represent or advise either side. Instead, a mediator facilitates communication by listening closely to each side with openness and respect. The nature of the mediation process allows the mediator to learn about the way your family works and recommend future-focused solutions.
