Whether you are going through a child custody issue, trying to settle a dispute with your employer, or disagreeing on a signed business agreement, mediation can be a better option for trying to solve your legal issues. However, you must first find a mediator. Choosing the perfect mediator is sometimes just as—if not more—important than selecting a lawyer who best meets your legal needs.

Qualities for the Win!

There are a number of things you will want to consider when trying to decide on a mediator for your case, including but not limited to:

First, and foremost, you want a mediator who has the experience. Did you know that our attorneys are skilled in mediation? In fact, we have more than 10 knowledgeable and experienced attorneys on hand who concentrate in the area of mediation and arbitration, allowing you to feel confident in knowing your case is being handled by a professional.

Second, you will want to look at the mediator’s integrity. Is he or she someone who is spoken about by others in the highest regard? Sometimes word of mouth is the best way to know how someone is viewed within their community. While life cannot always be fair, your mediation should be as fair as possible. A mediator with good integrity will feel the same.

Third, look at the mediator’s personality. Do you make a good match? Could you feel comfortable enough to be open with the mediator? Do you feel that the mediator would cause you to want to hold back on true feelings/statements in regards to your legal case? You want to make sure you have a mediator that you feel you can trust and be 100 percent honest with in order to receive the best outcome possible.
