Advantages of Pre-Suit Mediation

The advantages of Pre-Suit Mediation are numerous and include not only the saving of substantial time and resources but also the resulting mistrust, animosity, and anxiety associated with participating in our court system. In mediation, the parties are free to take a step back and discuss their dispute without conflict and with the mindset of finding a solution that resolves the dispute.

In addition, even if a resolution is not reached at Pre-Suit Mediation, at a minimum it is often the case that parties are able to narrow the issues and exchange information which almost inevitably improves the adversarial process by permitting the parties to focus on the real issues in any case.

Purposes of Pre-Suit Mediation

Pre-Suit Mediation serves many good purposes. When a Pre-Suit Mediation Program is utilized, better and faster results are often achieved by attorneys for their clients.

Defendants benefit through more timely settlements, the reduction of legal costs and expenses, as well as having opportunities that are not necessarily available to them through the judicial process.

Plaintiffs often can resolve disputes without all the time and expense that are part of the litigation process. In addition, plaintiffs often benefit from Pre-Suit Mediation by avoiding all of the pitfalls associated with protracted litigation including unpaid bills, diminishment of credit, as well as all the expense and stress associated with litigation.
