The mediator will
not takes sides, assess blame, or tell you what to do. The mediator will
not force you to make a decision.
The mediation
process is confidential, except in cases of child abuse, elder abuse,
and credible threats of violence. The mediator will not give
information shared in the mediation process with anyone outside the
process.
Mediation is voluntary. Either participant can end the mediation process
at any time and no one can be forced to agree to anything that they do
not want.
The agreement is
a summary of the solutions you and the other person make to solve your
dispute. The agreement may be a legally binding document if you wish.
To prepare for
mediation, think about what you need and what you are willing to do to
achieve it. If you have a conflict you would like to bring to
resolution, please contact us 410-318-8877 to schedule an appointment.
Thank you.
