Before you make the costly decision of hiring an attorney to resolve a dispute, consider using a mediator. Mediation is a less intimidating alternative to filing a lawsuit. A mediator is a neutral third party who helps the opposing sides reach an agreement or resolution without going to court.

on 3/23/2007 Mediators are often used in the context of a divorce case. Generally speaking, people hire an attorney first, and then hire a mediator after the divorce case has been filed. A mediator is not a person who will dispense legal advice to you, but is there as an independent third party whose main objective is to resolve your divorce case.
