Mediation

Broward County, Florida, Mediation Lawyer

Are you involved in a dispute involving family law or other legal issues? There's a common perception that one has to go to court in order to protect one's rights. In reality, most cases settle before trial. In fact, the trend in recent years is to favor mediation and arbitration over litigation.

These methods seek to resolve disputes more quickly and with less contention (and expense) than court trials. If you're involved in a dispute, you may want to explore these alternative dispute resolution processes by speaking to an experienced mediation attorney. Contact the Law Offices of Steven A. Mason, P.A., today.

In mediation, a neutral third party works with both sides to facilitate an arrangement that everyone can agree to. Once the parties reach an agreement, the mediator will present it to the court for approval.

Arbitration is similar to litigation in that an arbiter (like a judge) decides the outcome and this decision is binding. However, the arbitration process is less formal than a court trial, and the timeframe is much shorter.

Attorney Steven A. Mason is an experienced mediator who has handled a wide variety of mediation matters and is certified in family law and as a circuit civil mediator and county court mediator. He has also been designated a qualified arbitrator, and has Masters of Science degree in Conflict Analysis and Dispute Resolution. (This is a multi-disciplinary field that examines the psychology and sociology of conflict resolution.)
