Some Reasons Why Mediation is Gaining Popularity

Mediation has been around since the 17^th century as a way to resolve disputes “outside of the law.” Mediation is enjoying something of a resurgence in the U.S. as every year, more and more people turn to mediation to deal with their disputes. In some states, such as Florida for example, almost all lawsuits are required to be mediated before a court will allow them to be put on the trial calendar. Florida has greatly reduced the trial docket of courts by using mediation to resolve about 75 percent of all cases.

In our more cost-conscious current economy, people are turning to mediation as a more affordable way to resolve conflict. Comparatively speaking, alternative dispute resolution might cost a few hundred dollars versus going to trial, which could cost well into the thousands of dollars.

If you live in Canton/Cherokee County and are in need of conflict resolution—whether it is related to divorce, small claims, consumer or other issues—the Mediation Center of Canton can help you decide if mediation is the right course of action for you.

Is Mediation Right for You?

Mediation is a rapidly growing alternative to litigation for many reasons. It is less intimidating, non-confrontational, easier to understand and is focused on finding a “win-win” resolution rather than litigation’s “winner-take-all” approach. Because mediation takes place outside of the court system, you can schedule it at your convenience and can avoid typical delays between court hearings. One of the most important benefits is that mediation costs just a fraction of typical attorney fees to achieve the same results.

If you live in Canton, Georgia/Cherokee County and are in need of conflict resolution—whether it is related to divorce, small claims, consumer or other issues—the Mediation Center of Canton can help you decide if mediation is the right course of action for you.
