Mediation is often court-ordered as part of the litigation process, or it may be voluntarily chosen prior to or during litigation. Opting for mediation when involved in a legal dispute in Texas can provide a variety of benefits. The process is less expensive and requires less time. It keeps control of the process and the outcome of the dispute within the hands of those affected most – the disputing parties. It is a private and confidential process, so the general public will never be aware of the discussions held during the process. This keeps sensitive personal and potential valuable proprietary information out of the public eye.

Mediation is also effective for protecting important relationships. It can preserve mutually beneficial business arrangements and ensure that the parties are able to move forward following a dispute. This can be especially helpful when resolving family legal matter, including divorce and its effect on children.

If you are involved in a Texas legal dispute and you want to resolve it efficiently and effectively through mediation, James Urmin can help. For more information about mediation or to schedule a consultation, contact James at 972-913-4467 or by email at [email protected].
