Mediation

Mediated Settlements to any type of dispute are advantageous when the parties involved want or need to maintain a future relationship. Ms. McFarland strives to assist parties to reach a solution that is satisfactory to both sides, while rebuilding their prior relationship so that communication between the parties can be restored and mediation will not be needed in the future.

Mediation doesn’t require that an active legal case exist; parties involved in any dispute can use mediation services to come to an agreement, whether there’s a court case or not. Because Ms. McFarland is a lawyer, she can assist with drafting any legal documents if needed by the parties to a particular dispute.

Mediation services vary widely from mediator to mediator. Ms. McFarland’s goal is to assist the parties in working out their own solution to the problem, not attempting to evaluate each party’s side and tell them what a court would do. Mediation is a cooperative process that includes every party and gives them the opportunity to make their own decision about their dispute.

Ms. McFarland has trained in Mediation at the University of New Mexico Law School. She has represented parties as an advocate in mediation settings and has mediated Family Law and Probation matters through the ADR program at the Thirteenth Judicial District Court in Sandoval and Valencia Counties..

Neither New Mexico nor Colorado requires Certification for Mediation services, but a trained mediator better understands the needs of the parties and can better assist with generating long-lasting solutions to most problems.

Please contact the firm today should you need mediation services to resolve a dispute, whether a case has been filed or not.
