Often the way is not as smooth as either party would like, but you can still avoid the hassle of taking your case to court.
At the Law Offices of Molly B. Kenny, we always consider mediation before going to trial.
The attorneys at Molly B. Kenny strive to handle every case as quickly and effectively as possible, and mediation is an excellent tool for resolving many conflicts. Most of our divorce cases settle in mediation because we are able to prepare and educate our clients about their options and facilitate productive communication with the other party.
Located on Mercer Island and serving the Greater Seattle, Washington Area, the attorneys at the Law Offices of Molly B. Kenny can guide you through the mediation process.
What are the benefits of mediation?
"Why can't we take our divorce case directly to a mediator?"
A mediator does not represent you. As an impartial party, the mediator is under no obligation to support your side of an argument, to explain the different sides of an issue, or to help you explore the options available to you. You may sign a settlement agreement only to discover later that you had more and better options. If you go into mediation without an attorney, you may later need to hire a lawyer to challenge the original settlement. Hiring an experienced attorney to support and represent you throughout the process can save time and money down the road.
We help our clients to win their battles, but we also advise you to choose those battles wisely.
Mediation is not appropriate for every case. Both parties and their representative must approach the mediation process with respect and with a willingness to listen and make informed decisions. Circumstances of a divorce, parenting plan, or custody issue may preclude mediation as an option.
If your best option is taking your case to trial, your attorney will be ready with the personal information and legal strategy to protect your interests.
At the Law Offices of Molly B. Kenny, our goal is to help you through this process with respect and dignity, and our hope is that you leave our offices in a better state of mind when the process is over.
Communication is the key to our success and to yours.
