Mediation is defined as:

An attempt to bring about a peaceful settlement or compromise between disputants through the objective intervention of a neutral party

The Mediation Process

Thrasher Mediation utilizes an approach to mediation where the participants meet in the same room for all or the majority of the mediation process. The process is flexible, though, to allow for separate meetings between the mediator and each of the participants.

Before the first mediation, participants must sign a contract and submit an information form. They also each meet separately and briefly with the mediator.  Mediations may require more than one session and initial mediation sessions last a minimum of two (2) hours.

Participants are not required to have attorneys. If a participant has an attorney, the attorney is not required to attend the mediation. Attorney participation or presence is determined based upon specific circumstances of each mediation and the preferences of the mediator, participants, and their attorneys.

Affordable, efficient, effective, respectful, and impartial professional mediation and alternative dispute resolution services
