Personalized Attention From A Hometown Attorney

Gainesville Mediation Attorney

Mediation and litigation are two ways to resolve a dispute. If litigation is a classic, tense courtroom battle, mediation is a relaxed, guided discussion. Mediation is widely seen as a more effective option at ending disputes amicably, and with better long-term outcomes.

If you are seeking mediation for your divorce or a family law problem, you can turn to my firm, Candace M. Williams, P.C. As a family law mediation attorney, I’ve provided insight and representation to clients all over Hall County from my office in Gainesville. I offer you solid legal counsel based on my 20 years practicing law in Georgia, but also my dedication as an advocate. I am passionate about doing what works for my clients, and you can always count on me to pursue the right way forward.

The Role Of A Mediator In Your Case

A mediator is a neutral third party who hears what both sides have to say about a given conflict and provides suggestions for moving forward. I have worked as a mediator and worked as a representative in mediation, arguing on behalf of clients. I understand the process intimately and can help you secure your needs.

Mediators are there to guide the discussion and offer options. If the parties are far apart from each other, the mediator may meet separately with each side or choose to meet with all parties at once. But the role of the mediator is to help find a solution

The Benefits Of Mediation

Choosing to use mediation is choosing to go with a more amicable, personable, friendly way of resolving a conflict. The reason for this is the very much baked into what mediation offers people in conflict:

  • Privacy: Mediation is a private alternative dispute resolution (ADR) method, and that means discussions and outcomes are not part of the public record. The same cannot be said of litigation, which is handled in the courts, and is very public.
  • Flexibility: Mediation is not necessarily constrained by classic methods of making a person whole. Complicated, novel remedies can be applied, many of which are closer to what both sides “want” than would be opted for in other venues.
  • Efficiency: Mediation is faster to get into, faster to go through, and doesn’t necessarily need extensive legal representation, it’s much less expensive to mediate a dispute than to go into a courtroom.
  • Amicability: When people commit to mediation, they’re committing to saving whatever relationship they have. In a divorce mediation, obviously, the outcome is an ended marriage, but it often makes for more communicative, happier co-parents.

If you want your divorce or family law issue to have a more positive, less disruptive outcome, mediation may be the right option, and I’ll be happy to talk to you about it.
