Business Excerpt
I am a MI Court Certified Mediator/Arbitrator. My training reaches well beyond the typical 40 hour training that most Mediators in MI complete to be "qualified". Having a BS in Comparative Religion, being an open member of the LGBTQ community and living in the Lifestyle, I recognize the value of diversity and tailor my services to meet the needs of the individuals involved. Here are some FAQs about my company. What is Mediation? -Mediation is a process by which a Mediator (neutral party) helps facilitate discussion between parties in conflict to reach an agreement. Why Mediation? -Mediation can cost far less than litigation. Lawyers' fees, filing fees, etc. can add up quickly. In Mediation, a lawyer is not necessary because YOU help to solve the conflict. -Mediation is confidential. No records/transcripts are kept, anything said during the process cannot be used in court. -Often, conflict can be solved in a matter of hours rather than days, months or even years that court cases sometimes take to be heard, let alone ruled on. -You can tell your story more thoroughly than a court room allows. -Many courts in the Wayne, Oakland and Washtenaw counties are ordering cases to try Mediation before taking up the court's time. What can Mediation do for me? -Mediation can help to preserve important relationships that the litigation process can damage ie: Neighbors, business/customer, family relations, etc. -Mediation can also help to find a more customized solution to conflict. Litigation is often too specific to get what you need- if your case doesn't fit the law, you can't go to court. Mediation is for anyone willing to talk. What kinds of cases do you Mediate? -Almost anything. Neighbor disputes, divorce agreements, parenting time agreements, etc. etc. Not sure if your conflict fits? Call or email us, we'll see if it's something we can help with. If this process sounds good to you, or you would like more information, please contact us: Equilibrium ADR (Alternative Dispute Resolution) 248-219-6750 Our Mediators are highly trained in Conflict Resolution and the Positive Neutral Process. We work in Oakland, Wayne and Washtenaw Counties under MCR 2.402, 3.216
