​

In any disagreement, there are differing perspectives and multiple sides to the story. When a conflict escalates to the point of a lawsuit, the parties may become mired in expensive and protracted litigation. 

​

Unlike a court case, mediation is an informal and confidential process where a neutral attorney will act to mediate your case in an unbiased fashion. Your mediator will encourage and facilitate resolution of your matter efficiently and effectively. Most importantly, your mediator will understand the law underlying the issues and will learn the dynamics of your particular case through documents and any other information you provide to the mediator.

Through mediation, you will reach your own final agreement that is enforceable and acceptable to all parties involved.

​

As a trained and experienced mediator, James P. Lucking facilitates and guides you through the identification of all necessary issues and interests, including those that you may not have previously considered. During the mediation process, James will help the parties:

​

• Identify the important, relevant legal issues

• Understand the law involved and how it applies to the issues

• Assess and review the strengths and weaknesses of the claims

• Determine common interests

• Foster joint problem-solving

• Evaluate damages

• Finalize a mutual settlement agreement
