mediation study

As a certified family mediator and family attorney, I often hear this from clients in the middle of mediating a litigated family case as they’re considering the latest offer from the other party, aI’ll take this offera”I just want this thing to be over.a

The athinga the client wants to get rid of is the legal action.

That statement is usually followed by a comment about how the client can’t take it anymorea”can’t take the tension and uncertainty generated by the case, the preparation for trial or depositions, and the money it is costing him or her to continue in litigation, etc.

The feeling of desperation and the hope for relief is clearly palpable in their words.
