Mediation begins with an initial consultation. We will discuss the basic situation and determine if mediation is your correct course of action. This gives the parties a chance to understand the process and ask questions.

Meetings with the parties can take separately, jointly, or a combination of both. The parties may bring attorneys at their discretion. Meetings can take place online, or at reasonably agreed locations in New Mexico. At the meetings, each party will have the opportunity to discuss their positions, and the goal of mediation is for both parties to work constructively to reach a mutually acceptable agreement of settlement.
