Family Law Mediation

Columbus Attorneys who know that Mediation Works

Although we are experienced and successful litigators, we frequently suggest mediation as an option for our clients. At the Columbus Law Offices of William L. Geary, we strongly believe that mediation is often the right answer when, at any point in a proceeding, an issue appears irresolvable. In mediation, parties work with a trained mediator to discuss issues. Mediation works by allowing the participants to speak with the mediator about their thoughts, concerns, and values. The mediator keeps a theme of commonality, stressing the issues agreed upon by the parties.

Mediation works. Unlike depending on a judge's verdict, families have control over the agreement reached in mediation. In mediation, it is you who has the ultimate say. You can suggest ideas to the mediator and develop or respond to ideas suggested. Many people who participate in mediation are very satisfied with the results because they had a chance to create their own solutions. Studies have shown that these people are more likely to adhere to the agreements made in mediation; this means that they may be less likely to return to court in the future.

We believe that mediation works best with the assistance of a skilled lawyer. Attorney William L. Geary has mediation experience, having formerly accredited mediators in Franklin county. He is a strong advocate who can help you determine just when mediation is right. Mediation may help you achieve your family law and divorce goals.
