Mediation
Mediators are neutral persons who are trained on how to work with families in child custody and visitation disputes, financial disputes and any other type of disagreement that in the end will be resolved in a more amicable manner. Our Crystal Lake mediation attorneys undergo recurrent training to maintain their qualification on the list of approved mediators, and are family law attorneys who can explain the intricacies involved in the proceedings.
Mediation is a cost effective alternative to litigation that involves an impartial third party that intervenes to promote the resolution of the dispute or grievance. A mediator will be able to define issues and help parties focus on the issues rather than their positions. The mediation attorney steers the parties away from past events and focuses them on what they want to see happen in the future.
Our attorneys are qualified and trained mediators on the McHenry Country approved mediator list and can help you and your disagreeing parties come to a resolution. If you or someone you know is in need of a mediator, contact the Crystal Lake mediation attorneys at Carroll, Papp & Cunabaugh, Attorneys at Law
