FAQ's

Medation Services

Q: What types of cases do you mediate?
A: We mediate a range of matters, including domestic relations cases such as parenting plans and visitation, child support, as well as probate-related issues like guardianship disputes, estate distribution, and family disagreements arising from wills or trusts.

Q: What is the mediator’s role?
A: The mediator is a neutral third party who facilitates respectful communication and helps the participants explore options and reach a voluntary agreement. The mediator does not provide legal advice or make decisions.

Q: Do both parties need to agree to participate in mediation?
A: Yes, mediation is a voluntary process that requires the cooperation of all parties involved.

Q: Is mediation legally binding?

A: Mediation agreements are not automatically binding. However, if both parties agree to the terms in writing and the court approves the agreement, it can become legally enforceable.

Q: Do all parties need to attend mediation in person?
A: In-person attendance is preferred, but virtual mediation may be available in some cases. Please contact us to discuss accommodations.

Q: How long is the mediation session scheduled for?
A: Mediation is scheduled for two hours, but that doesn't mean it will go for the full two hours.

Q: Do you offer evening or weekend appointments?
A: Yes! We offer flexible scheduling, including after-hours and weekends, to best serve your needs.

Document Review

Q: What is document review?
A: Document review is a non-legal support service that helps you organize, prepare, and understand the content and structure of your paperwork. It’s especially useful if you’re representing yourself or want to feel more confident before mediation or court.

Q: Do you give legal advice during document review?
A: No. We do not offer legal advice, legal strategy, or represent you in court. Our role is to help ensure your documents are complete, clearly written, and appropriately organized.

Q: What types of documents can you review?
A: We commonly review parenting plans, custody schedules, financial affidavits, court forms, probate-related paperwork, and written communications such as letters or agreements prepared by you.

Q: Can you help me fill out court forms?
A: We can guide you through the structure of the forms and help you understand what’s being asked. However, we cannot tell you what to write or make legal decisions for you.

Q: Is this service just for people without lawyers?
A: Not necessarily. While it's especially helpful for individuals who are self-represented, some clients with attorneys also use document review to stay organized or double-check non-legal paperwork.

Q: Can you write or edit documents for me?
A: We can help you rephrase or clarify language you’ve written, but we do not draft legal documents from scratch or edit them in a way that gives legal interpretation.

Q: Is my information kept confidential?
A: Yes. All documents you share with us are treated with the utmost respect and confidentiality, in line with professional standards for mediation and support services.
