Providing mediation services professionally, timely, and effectively on a cost-efficient basis

In quoting Abraham Lincoln, the ADR Institute of Ontario states that when it comes to disputes, the “nominal winner is often a real loser – in fees, expenses and waste of time.”

There are, of course, the financial costs – even for the winner, which never covers your entire expenses. Even in the most favorable cases there is still a significant out-of-pocket expense to consider.  A recovery of 100% of your legal costs is extremely rare.

However, and for many involved in litigation that goes before the Courts, there is a higher cost. Anyone who has had to deal with a Court action will tell you that the level of stress and time demands are a significant distraction from both their business and personal lives. The human, emotional, and physical toll often far exceeds the financial costs of litigation.  This is a hidden cost that many people do not consider.

As a result, an experienced and skilled lawyer will seek to minimize these “hidden” expenses. The best way to achieve this outcome can be through a resolution of disputes through mediation.
