Alternative dispute resolution for Oregon family law, business, and civil disputes outside the courtroom
Not every dispute has to be resolved in front of a judge in a courtroom. When you are seeking alternative dispute resolution, our experienced Oregon Mediation Attorney can help you through mediation, instead of going court.
What is Mediation?
Mediation is a legal process that provides an alternative to the courtroom for resolving disputes in Oregon. When people and/or organizations have disputes, such as in family law, business, or civil matters, mediation can provide a more effective alternative to litigation in court.
- Voluntary, confidential process
- Find flexible, mutually agreeable solutions
- A neutral third party oversees procedures
- The parties control the outcome
When necessary, mediation procedures can be connected to a relevant court for final resolution.
