I am a mediator, I help people involved in legal disputes to find a way to resolve their disagreement on their own terms, in their own way, with only enough input from me as required to ask the hard questions, reframe the problems, defuse the emotions, and expand their view points to include as many possible solutions as they can think of to end the dispute. If people involved in a legal dispute can do that and if they can find a solution it should be one they can live with for a long time instead of creating animosity and bitterness by hiring attorneys and fighting it out in court.
