Mediation
Resolve Disputes Without the Courtroom
Litigation is costly, stressful, and unpredictable. Mediation offers a smarter path. Whether you’re navigating divorce, custody, or civil disputes, mediation provides a confidential, cooperative environment to find solutions that work for everyone—without the fight.
What Is Mediation?
Mediation is a voluntary, confidential process where a neutral third party helps resolve legal disputes without going to court. The mediator does not take sides or make decisions. Instead, they:
- Guide discussions
- Clarify misunderstandings
- Help the parties find common ground
At Eggert Law, our mediation services are designed to reduce conflict, save money, and help you reach agreements that last.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need an attorney during mediation?
Not required, but it’s wise to consult with an attorney before and after mediation to ensure your interests are protected.
Is mediation legally binding?
Only if both parties sign a written agreement, which can then be filed with the court.
What if we can’t agree on everything?
Partial agreements still help—narrowing issues for court and reducing costs.
Can mediation work in high-conflict cases?
Yes. Mediation is especially helpful in contentious situations. We can hold separate sessions or add support to keep discussions productive.
