Regis Mediation Group Inc

The mediation process works partially because it is an opportunity for the parties to actually get some things off their chest and also helps enlighten each side on the other party's point of view, which can be instrumental in resolving a dispute.

Mediation is a procedure in which the parties discuss their disputes with the assistance of a trained impartial third person(s) who assists them in reaching a settlement. It may be an informal meeting among the parties or a scheduled settlement conference.

Mediation is a procedure in which the parties discuss their disputes with the assistance of a trained impartial third person(s) who assists them in reaching a settlement. It may be an informal meeting among the parties or a scheduled settlement conference. The dispute may either be pending in a court or potentially a dispute which may be filed in court. Cases suitable for mediation are disputes in commercial transactions, personal injury, construction, workers compensation, labor or community relations, divorce, domestic relations, employment or any other matters which do not involve complex procedural or evidentiary issues. Attendance at the mediation conference is voluntary by the parties, except where governed by statute or contract clause.

To Attorneys
The ability to move cases to resolution is an ever present problem for attorneys as they seek to improve the financial status of their practice. This is complicated by court dockets that are backlogged and much time is spent waiting for a judge or jury to be assigned even on a day when a case is scheduled. Continuances are often requested by opposing counsel in routine matters which if resolved would limit the amount of manpower allocated to a particular case.

Mediation offers an opportunity to improve case management/resolution and client satisfaction. An employment discrimination complaint can take years to litigate. Using various forms of alternative dispute resolution available in the area of employment law, an attorney can resolve such complaints in months after the investigation is complete. A personal injury case with a simple soft tissue injury can be mediated in a matter of weeks after submission of the demand letter to the insurance company in areas where insurance companies have agreed to mediate certain classes of cases.

Swift, efficient movement of workers'compensation cases, contested divorces with complicated property and custody issues and business contract disputes can improve the financial status of your firm. The corollary benefits are customer/client satisfaction, increased client referrals and more time for complex cases.

Mediation offers the opportunity to improve your bottom line by adding a service to your practice. You can become a court appointed mediator for court ordered mediations, advertise your services to members of the bar who are looking for mediators with special expertise or collaborate with a group of lawyers to provide a mediation service for a particular industry or area of law.
