Mediation
Family Law Mediator
Besides cases where he is an advocate, James Moore serves as a divorce and family law mediator. Instead of representing either side, he serves as a neutral party to negotiate a resolution. Mr. Moore brings to the table his years of experience and training in family law and negotiations. Further, he received training as a mediator with the Center for Understanding in Conflict where he learned to practice the understanding model of mediation.
As a mediator, he can provide legal guidance while the parties make the decision for how to resolve their case. Parties have the power to craft their resolution instead of the resolution being dictated by a third party. Â

Mediation Benefits
Mediation provides confidentiality, avoids protracted litigation, can be much more amicable, and is often be cheaper since the parties avoid each hiring their own attorney and going to court. Likewise, a settlement through mediation avoids having a judge make the decision for the outcome of the case.
Use of an experienced mediator can avoid future problems by wrapping up loose ends and making sure you have a comprehensive settlement.
Keep Confidentiality
Participating in mediation keeps your case out of court. By minimizing the number of filings it preserves confidentiality. Financial and personal information can be exchanged while minimizing what is public record. The parties get to control the process.
Listen
One of the biggest sources of conflict is a lack of communication, or at least productive communication. As a mediator, James Moore helps to keep the dialogue civil. The goal is that both sides feel like they have been heard by the other. Then, they can work on the solution.
Reach Resolution
By understanding each other through mediation, the parties can create creative solutions. A huge benefit is the parties reach the agreement instead of the uncertainty and risk of having the Court decide. A mediated resolution can be less stressful, cheaper, and longer lasting.
