Experience: With over 12 years of combined practice and experience in resolving disputes and mediating issues, the associates at the Center for Mediation and Collaborative Services (CMCS) are highly skilled at working with groups and individuals to discuss and resolve business, personal and family issues. We have the education and training necessary to work with you closely and help YOU find appropriate solutions to your issues while at the same time helping to clarify issues, assist with communication problems and put tools in place to avoid future disagreements.
Out Goal: We believe that the best mediated agreements are those in which the opposing parties ACTIVELY suggest, communicate, discuss and agree to the final decision. We want you to find solutions on your own – our role is to assist in the communication process by asking questions, clarifying statements and maintaining a certain level of respect during the process.
Impartiality: As mediators, it is our ROLE to help find a mutually acceptable solution to the dispute. We will remain impartial at all times rather than taking anyone’s side.
We are trained to listen carefully to each party to find out what their true interests are, and then help facilitate communication of those interests between the parties.
