Attorney Travis Owens, Certified Mediator

Mediation

Mediation is arguably one of the best conflict resolution processes. It is a craft leveraged at the intersections of conflict and consensus; litigation and negotiation; problem and solution. This structured, interactive process is less expensive than litigation, allows each party more control over the outcome,

and is highly effective and efficient.

Mission

Good mediators are seen as friendly, empathetic, and respectful. They listen carefully, appreciate the emotions and needs that underlie each confidential conversation, and come across as genuinely trustworthy and concerned with the well-being of everyone involved.

Perspective

Parties to a dispute want mediators who can quickly grasp a situation, understand its complexities and dynamics, and provide a clearer understanding of options and creative solutions that help both sides reach a mutually acceptable resolution.
