Mediation

A neutral pathway to success

At Pope, McMeekin, Wood & Swiney, P.C., we extend a compassionate hand to offer mediation services across various areas of civil litigation, embracing cases such as workers’ compensation, personal injury, wrongful death, medical malpractice, and products liability.

Mediation is a pathway of harmony and understanding, where parties in conflict voluntarily seek the guidance of a neutral third-party mediator to navigate through their issues and find resolutions. It is a process rooted in fostering reconciliation, settlement, and compromise, allowing disputes to be resolved outside the judicial system through mutual negotiations under the gentle guidance of a trained intermediary.

Confidentiality is a cornerstone of mediation, safeguarding all discussions within its sacred space. This shield of confidentiality ensures that settlement talks remain private and cannot be used against parties should the case proceed to trial. Mediation opens doors to creative solutions and outcomes beyond the confines of traditional legal proceedings, offering a unique platform for exploration and understanding.

Moreover, mediation is a beacon of efficiency and cost-effectiveness, saving valuable time and resources for all parties involved. By resolving matters outside the courtroom, parties can avoid prolonged legal battles and excessive costs, paving the way for swifter resolutions and peaceful closures.

At Pope, McMeekin, Wood & Swiney, P.C., our dedicated attorneys bring over 30 years of experience in guiding clients through the mediation process with care and empathy. We eagerly anticipate the opportunity to guide you or your client towards a resolution. We are ready to support you in your pursuit of peace and closure.
