In some cases both parties may choose to save on attorney fees and work only with a mediator to negotiate a settlement. We can help you prepare for a mediation session so you can approach it with confidence and an ability to make informed decisions.
The self help approach makes you responsible for following your case schedule, corresponding with the other party, and acting as your own attorney in mediation and court when you haven’t requested us to represent you. It allows you to decide how much to spend on legal services because you determine how much help you will need during the legal process.
