The use of mediation as an alternative to a lawsuit is increasing.

Mediation is faster and less expensive, with the added benefit

of resolving disputes without destroying relationships.

Most disputes are amenable to mediation. If you’ve given up trying to negotiate a settlement directly with another party, call the Mediation Center of Canton. We will help you determine if mediation is the right course for your specific situation.  We offer conflict resolution for a wide range of issues, including the following: •    Builder/Homeowner •    Divorce and Marital •    Parenting and Family •    Elder Issues •    Landlord/Tenant •    Medical/Health •    Real Estate •    Small Claims •    Employment •    General Construction Mediation has many benefits. You save time—You can schedule the mediation at a time that fits your schedule and work at a pace that is comfortable for you. You avoid the typical delays between court hearings. You save money—Mediation is a fair, efficient process. The entire cost of mediation is a fraction of what you would typically pay to retain an attorney.   You maintain privacy—You protect yourself from a public court battle.   Your agreement lasts— When both parties agree to the terms   reached in mediation, you are both more than likely to live up   to the agreement because it was a collaborative effort   with input from both sides.

It is the acid test of nonviolence that in a nonviolent conflict there is no rancor left behind, and in the end the enemies are converted into friends."   Mahatma Gandhi
