Mediation is a voluntary (or sometimes court ordered) process by which a skilled neutral called a Mediator assists the parties involved in a dispute to negotiate their own settlement.

Why Mediation?

• Cost: Compared to other dispute resolution processes, such as litigation, mediation can save each party thousands, and in some cases hundreds of thousands of dollars.
• Fast: A mediation conference can be scheduled in a day and the dispute settled in hours, rather than the months or even years it can take to get to trial.
• Effective: More than 90% of the cases mediated through Dennis Torres, Inc. have reached settlements.
• Confidential: Unlike court cases, mediation is a confidential process. No transcript or record of the conference is kept. Your personal business remains private. Your credit is not affected.
• Risk: Unlike the Court process, the parties maintain full control over the outcome. A Court decision is often a win/loose; mediation is often a win/win.
