Is a mediator the same as a lawyer?

A lawyer can only represent one party and will try to achieve the most favorable outcome for the party who hired them. A mediator spearheads the better "conflict resolution" approach to conflicts, to amicably resolve conflicts, acting as an objective and neutral third party, guiding both parties through the process, helping both sides come to a peaceful win-win agreement.

Should I hire a mediator or a lawyer?

Litigation and mediation reach outcomes in a different way. Mediation turns out to be far more cost-effective (lower fees), arrives at a peaceful and quicker resolution, there's more personal control and more privacy.

Why would you need a mediator?

If you and the other party have a stake in an ongoing relationship, and if you think your dispute can be resolved peacefully without the need for a lawyer, then you should probably hire a mediator.

What exactly does a mediator do?

Whereas a lawyer will fight hard for only one party, a Mediator will instead listen intently and work tirelessly on behalf of both parties — like a judge might do at first, and then help both sides reach a compromise agreement, like a friendlier settlement of sorts, rather than fighting in court. You can pay enormous money to your expensive lawyers over many months or sometimes years, to fight in court over the problem, or you can pay very little money to a mediator for a much quicker, peaceful solution — that’s always your choice, so choose wisely.

Is mediation cheaper than an attorney?

Absolutely. The cost of mediation is a fraction of the cost of litigation. Moreover, the cost of litigation is not only higher economically, but it’s also emotionally depleting as well; and there are additional costs that are even more debilitating, e.g., lack of peace, profound stress, health issues, aging a decade almost overnight, etc.

What are the benefits of mediation?

Among the many benefits of mediation rather than litigation, Mediation nets a much quicker resolution, while litigation goes on for years; Mediation is voluntary and helps maintain relationships; Mediation is amicable and peaceful; Mediation is much less expensive, and very affordable. Mediation allows you to keep everything private and confidential, and this can be very important to your whole family or your business. This is a huge additional benefit of Mediation, whereas Litigation, i.e., paying lawyers to fight in court, is unfortunately public and allows the whole world to know your intimate lives or your business.

Description

Confessions of a Criminal Lawyer: True Story?

This book is a true story, with only the names changed to protect the guilty—including the Author’s. Those of you who know me personally (from the old days before my judicial election) may assume that the main character, Michael Santilli is me. Your assumption may or may not be true. You’ll be forced to guess, only because that’s the way it has to be. Some judges had private lives that may have been too colorful, and this is why I’m reluctant to share with you “the truth…the whole truth…and nothing but the truth, so help me God.”
