As my firm name is M.J. O\u2019Nions Lawyer & Mediator, I am often asked the question: \u201cWhat is a Mediator?\u201d Well besides the answer \u201ca mediator is someone who does mediation\u201d it is important to first explain what mediation<\/a> is.
\n
\nMediation is an alternative dispute resolution (ADR) process alternative to the traditional court process in order to resolve disputes. Mediation is the process by which a neutral third party, the mediator, assists people to resolve their dispute and reach a voluntary settlement. A mediator is not a judge; he or she helps people negotiate a fair settlement of their dispute.<\/p>\n

So, what is a mediator? A mediator<\/a> is an impartial or non-biased person who helps parties through the use of a variety of different techniques to assist them in resolving their dispute. The mediator is not there to impose a resolution, but rather to help individuals in coming up with their own ways of resolving their dispute.<\/p>\n

A mediator can be useful in assisting in the resolution of a wide range of civil disputes such as family disputes, neighbor disputes, estate disputes, employment disputes etc., in pretty much any dispute a mediator can be helpful.<\/p>\n

Hopefully that helps in answering the question: What is a Mediator?<\/p>\n
