Meet the Business Owner: Philip M.
After law school and then practicing law for 8 years I decided there had to be a better, less expensive, less time consuming, and less stressful way for people to resolve their differences and plan for their future. I started my mediation business with those goals in mind. Mediation saves time and money, but most importantly allows for self-determination. In mediation no judge will tell you what to do "whether you like it not." You participate in creating the solution. The only solutions in mediation are those acceptable to all parties. I have found that my clients appreciate the opportunity to craft their futures while they save thousands of dollars.
