The mediator will assist the parties in arriving at a mutually beneficial agreement that meets their immediate and long-term goals. The mediator does not make decisions for the parties and is not an advocate for either party over the other. The mediator will not decide who is right or wrong. With the mediator’s help the parties will determine what issues are important to each of them and come up with reasonable solutions to meet their goals.

The length of the mediation depends on the parties. A simple matter can be resolved in one or two sessions. A more complex matter may take longer. Each session is usually 1 ½ to 2 hours, but can last longer. The sessions are usually scheduled at the convenience of the parties.
