What is Mediation?

Mediation provides a confidential, less adversarial, and more cost-effective method for resolving disputes. Under the guidance of a neutral mediator, parties can communicate face-to-face (or via videoconference) to identify the root of the problem and work towards a mutually satisfactory resolution. Our mediation services are tailored to restore and maintain relationships, ensuring a harmonious resolution to property, environmental, and community disputes in Buffalo and Western New York.

Benefits of Choosing Mediation in Buffalo

Efficient

Avoid the financial and time burden of litigation by opting for mediation, especially beneficial for Buffalo's businesses and local governments.
