Mediation is an approach to dispute resolution in which the parties voluntarily attempt to resolve their differences. This attempt is facilitated by an independent, neutral third party, or mediator, in a voluntary, non-binding and confidential process. Most often, a mediation occurs after the parties have initiated the litigation process. But a mediation can take place at any time there is a dispute that the parties want to resolve.
At O’Hara & Duris, each mediation case is evaluated on an individual basis. The mediation is shaped by the unique needs of the clients. Maureen and Patrick mediate cases individually or as co-mediators. Experience has shown that two mediators can facilitate more rapid settlement and thus serve the interests of our clients. Maureen and Patrick do not charge a higher fee when they co-mediate.
