WHY MEDIATE
 
   
There are lots of reasons so many people choose mediation.
> Keep Control of Your Life — You control all decisions affecting your family, money and life; you never give up control to strangers
> Cut Down on Future Problems — Research shows that mediated agreements are most often observed, so it’s less likely that you’ll have problems later
> It’s Safe — Michael won’t ever tolerate strong-arming or coercive tactics
> Stay Out of Court — You protect yourself and your family from enduring nasty fights or endless court proceedings 
> Save on Fees — Mediation is usually much less expensive than litigation, without sacrificing quality 
> Keep Things Private — Mediation is completely confidential; so unlike public court, your private life stays private
> Use Lawyers as You Wish, If at All — You can consult with your own lawyer during mediation, but it’s not required. And you can mediate if you’ve already seen a lawyer or filed court papers. Also, since Michael Becker is an attorney, he can help you understand the law and what's typical, draft your legal agreement, and file court papers.
