How It Works

The Mediation Process

01

Initial Consultation

We meet with all parties to understand the dispute, explain the mediation process, and establish ground rules for productive dialogue.

02

Opening Statements

Each party presents their perspective without interruption, giving the mediator a complete picture of the conflict.

03

Joint Discussion

The mediator facilitates structured dialogue, identifying common ground and exploring creative solutions that work for everyone.

04

Agreement & Resolution

When parties reach consensus, we document the agreement in a binding written form that both sides can rely on going forward.

Why Is Mediation Important?

The Right Mediator Makes All the Difference

Mediation is a crucial step in trying to resolve any dispute that may exist that requires more than a negotiation. Mediation examples are found in everyday life; a coin toss at a football game helps determine which team acquires the ball first. The primary job in a mediation session is trying to figure out the most pragmatic and efficient way to resolve a dispute, both financially and timely.

We will assist and understand what the conflict is about, why it exists, and the end result of the opposing sides. The most important piece is understanding what the individuals are trying to resolve. Roybal-Mack & Cordova will use their skill set to obtain the full background of all sides to determine the "what" and "why" with knowledgeable discernment. Our job as the mediator is to assist those who don't know how to get past the dilemma, to end any conflict by coming to a conclusion and be able to move forward.

Who do you want as a mediator?

Whoever you invite into your scenario is someone who has enough knowledge about your practice area and the type of conflict so they can provide that compassionate pragmatism and empathy to be able to work with all sides to better understand in what way the dispute can be resolved.

1

Confidential by Law

Mediation communications are protected. Nothing said in sessions can be used as evidence in court.

2

Voluntary & Flexible

Either party can withdraw at any time. The process is shaped around your schedule and needs.

3

Binding Agreements

Mediated settlements are legally enforceable contracts, giving you certainty without a court battle.
