The decision to get a divorce and the proceedings that follow can be emotionally—and financially—draining. When the initial decision is made, most believe their only option is to hire a lawyer and slug it out in court. However, there is a more civil, effective, and economically viable choice: MediationFocused on providing an affordable forum for assisting families and individuals going through a divorce, Falmouth Mediation helps its clients to develop their own fair and lasting solutions outside the courtroom. The mediations take place without the large investment of time and money or the antagonism and stress that adversarial litigation almost always requires.I believe that, generally, most disputes do not need to be resolved using the adversarial court system. When the courts are involved, cases often exhaust the parties' emotional and financial resources, result in a decision being imposed on the parties, and generally produce a poor outcome for everyone. For this reason I limit Falmouth Mediation to out-of-court resolutions of conflict. Because I am not involved with litigated cases, my services are targeted, affordable and responsive to the needs of the clients rather than spent on lengthy and inefficient court appearances or emergency filings. As a result, I can control my clients' costs to a greater degree than I would be able to do if their case were being litigated. Most importantly, my focus on non-adversarial mediation and client self-determination enables me to direct my attention to listening and helping my clients make their own responsible decisions to resolve matters and find the best solution for all concerned.Working without any professional help and engaging in an all-out litigation war are two ends of the spectrum, neither of which is desirable by the vast majority of people. I urge you to contact me to explore the wide range of services that I offer to help you resolve your conflicts.
