MEDIATION IS OFTEN A GOOD ALTERNATIVE TO LITIGATION
June 16, 2016
MEDIATION IS A PROCESS UNDER WHICH AN IMPARTIAL PERSON, THE MEDIATOR, FACILITATES COMMUNICATION BETWEEN THE PARTIES TO PROMOTE RECONCILIATION, SETTLEMENT, OR UNDERSTANDING BETWEEN THEM. THE MEDIATOR MAY SUGGEST WAYS OF RESOLVING THE DISPUTE, BUT MAY NOT SUBSTITUTE HIS OWN JUDGMENT ON THE ISSUES FOR THAT OF THE PARTIES. RON LEWIS PROVIDES MEDIATION SERVICES. HE WILL ONLY SERVE AS A MEDIATOR IN CASES IN WHICH THE PARTIES ARE REPRESENTED BY ATTORNEYS. MEDIATION SESSIONS ARE PRIVATE AND CONFIDENTIAL. VIEWS EXPRESSED OR SUGGESTIONS MADE BY PARTIES AT MEDIATION MAY NOT BE USED AGAINST THEM IN LATER LITIGATION IF THE MEDIATION IS UNSUCCESSFUL. THE MEDIATOR CANNOT BE SUBPOENED TO TESTIFY IN LATER LITIGATION, NOR CAN HE BE MADE A PARTY TO THAT LITIGATION.. MEDIATION MAY OCCUR BEFORE, DURING, OR AFTER LITIGATION. NO RECORD IS MADE OF THE PROCEEDINGS.
