- What are the
Benefits of Mediation?
Confidential: The mediation
sessions are entirely confidential. This means the details of
what is said, proposed, negotiated or offered between the parties
during mediation proceedings cannot be used as evidence in a
future court proceeding.
Cost Effective: Even
“minor” disputes and litigation matters are likely to cost thousands,
if not tens of thousands of dollars. Additionally, there is
a mental, emotional, and even a physical toll that litigation
indelibly leaves on its participants. All of these costs can
be saved by resolving your dispute through mediation.
Control of Outcome:
Rather than leaving the outcome of your dispute in the hands
of a judge or jury, you determine the resolution. Mediation
provides you with a unique opportunity to craft your own resolution
to the dispute using a 3rd party neutral-the mediator- who works
tirelessly with the other party or parties to facilitate negotiations,
resolve conflict and ultimately help all sides arrive at settlement.

- Attorney Services:
Even though disputes are best resolved by mediation, Brent Peterson
Law does assist clients with attorney representation in select
family law and real property disputes, including landlord/tenant
matters. However, Brent Peterson’s representation comes with
a conflict resolution mindset and goal of settlement before
trial. Thus, in representing a client in any civil or family
law litigation matter, Mr. Peterson will first seek out solutions
for his clients that seek to resolve disputes outside of court
hearings and trials wherever possible. Mr. Peterson also assist
clients in transactional matters, including estate planning
and incorporation.
