How to start a mediation:
1.Contact a mediator and request mediation services.
2. The mediator will contact the other party by email, US mail or by phone.
3. I have done one international meditation by telephone but prefer all parties (decision makers) to be in the same room.
4. I am not limited to doing mediations in VA. I can go anywhere.
5.A agreement to mediate is signed before the mediation begins.
6. I charge $75 hr and expect immediate payment per the terms of the agreement to mediate.

Mediation vs Arbitration
The major focus of a mediator is get the parties to agreement. When there is controversy, the sooner the mediator is called the better. I had one interesting case where the couple never saw a lawyer or courtroom Five hours of mediation solved all. However, they created their own agreement. Arbitration is private quasi judicial procedure where there is no appeal. Some lawyers do not like either of these. Mediation in my opinion is the better of the two. It low cost, private. and can occur in the home and office and there is no pressure to sign the agreement.You also encourage to have an attorney review the document. Feel free to visit my web page
