Keeping Private Matters Out of Open Court
Mediation is frequently used to resolve family-related legal disputes. The process itself is fairly simple and can generally be completed in just a day or two. Mediation provides the parties with an informal but structured forum in which they, their attorneys and a neutral third-party facilitator can work together toward the resolution of disputed issues — without the need for a judge or jury. The entire process is private and cannot later be used in court.
In Collin County, Denton County and North Texas, you will find the kind of experience and skill needed to help you accomplish your goals at the law firm of Albin | Harrison | Roach.
Representation in the Mediation Process
Although you may choose to not have an attorney representing you in the mediation process, it is important to remember that agreements signed in connection with a mediated settlement are legally binding and enforceable. Because of that — and because not all third-party mediators are completely unbiased — hiring a lawyer who is dedicated to protecting your interests is something we urge you to consider.
At Albin | Harrison | Roach, we can effectively protect your rights, answer any questions you have about the process before it starts and prepare you for what to expect at each stage of it.
Mediation Services
Because Albin | Harrison | Roach attorneys have extensive experience both with managing the mediation process, and with the courts and judges of Collin County, Denton County and North Texas as a whole — we are frequently called upon to help mediate conflicts. As mediators, we attempt to be the neutral voice of reason for both parties and to provide each side with accurate information and analysis about what the realistic outcomes of litigation would be in the courtroom. This legal perspective combined with the local context we bring to the table generally helps facilitate quicker, more cost-effective resolutions.
In addition, our lawyers represent clients and offer third-party neutral services for probate and civil mediations as well.
