Family

Mediation has saved many families from estrangement because of their business and or real estate entanglements.

Mediation provides a safe, secure and a cooperative environment, in which to discuss issues that handed on their own or in litigation may end not only the business venture , but many times also puts a family at odds and often breaks them apart.

Rivalry and negative feelings are often worked out in business ventures. Often times these negative issues permeate the business experience, putting the business needs second to the Family Conflict.
