Hernando County Mediation Attorneys

Hernando County alternative dispute resolution can involve both arbitration or mediation.  These two options are vastly different in their outcomes and goals.

• Arbitration can be either binding or non-binding on the parties and can be less expensive than litigation. In arbitration, each party presents its own facts and grievances while the arbiter weighs the arguments and reaches a decision. In binding arbitration, this decision must be adhered to by both parties; non-binding arbitration creates more of a suggestion than a decision.  Regardless of the style, arbitration is contrasted by the goals of mediation. 
• Mediation is often considered a last resort before people enter into litigation, and unlike arbitration, mediation does not always result in a decision being made. A Hernando County legal mediation session can help people to see the differences in their position but can also help them to see where they agree. At the same time, effective mediation tends to bring the people to an agreement that both can find acceptable, but the Hernando County mediator acts more as a referee than as a decision maker. 

Effective mediation can only take place in an environment where both sides feel they are being treated fairly and with compassion and consideration. The Hernando County mediation law firm of Paul H. Nessler, Jr., understands how to create such an environment. Mr. Nessler is an experienced mediator in Hernando County who utilizes his years of experience as a mediator and attorney to guide his clients toward an agreeable position.  However, he is careful to not push either party toward any particular position.  He will remind his mediation clients about the areas where they agree and that while their differences may be many, they are not insurmountable.
