Litigation is an expensive and time-consuming process. Although most people claim to want their day in court, the truth is most cases can be settled before a trial is ever needed. The truth is, trials are risky ventures. There is no guarantee that either party will be satisfied with the result.

In many cases, aggressive negotiation can produce a fair and equitable compensation settlement. Another popular way of resolving claims, that courts are trying to encourage, is the use of mediation.

At the Peel Law Firm, we not only believe that mediation is a good way to settle a dispute, but David Peel has become a certified mediator by the Tennessee Supreme Court in civil law, so that he can further understand the mediation process. He has also gone through the time and expense to take an additional 40-hour Peacemaker's Christian Reconciliation mediation course. This education helps him prepare cases for mediation and helps him inform his clients. If you would like to learn more about mediation and if it can be used in your case, contact us today to schedule a free consultation at our Millington, Tennessee, office.

Mediation is now the most common form of alternative dispute resolution (ADR). It is a cost-effective process where each party meets with a mediator and presents their case. However, unlike court, many of the rules of evidence do not apply, which means other information can be presented which would not usually be allowed in court. In addition, the mediator is there to help the parties reach a result, unlike a judge who can make a decision that both parties may find unsatisfactory.

Go to him privately and have a kind, brotherly talk over the matter, and try to show him his fault.
Matthew 18:15

But, if he will not hear [thee, then] take with thee one or two more, that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established.
Matthew 18:16

At our office, we use mediation to resolve all types of personal injury cases, including:

Mediation can help resolve a situation much faster and much more amicably than going to trial or even using arbitration. In fact, in some instances, we can even use it for workers' compensation claims, if your employer agrees to this avenue. No matter what your situation, if you want to explore the mediation process, please contact us today.
