At Pendleton & Herbold LLP, we act as a neutral third party hosting mediation sessions for spouses or other parties who have been court-ordered to mediate or who seek to resolve their case outside of court Individuals who resolve a case in mediation save time, money and the emotional toll taken by attending a hearing or trial in front of a judge. Greater satisfaction with an outcome is often obtained when parties voluntarily reach a resolution to their conflict, rather than having a judge decide.
Mediation
It is a common misconception that a mediator holds the same power and responsibilities as a judge or an attorney. In actuality, the mediator's job is to help the parties involved in a legal dispute communicate with one another. No one understands the many details to a legal dispute better than the people directly involved. Therefore, they are in the best position to come to a positive resolution. Often, when communication is improved, it becomes possible to resolve the dispute outside of the courtroom, which is why mediation works.
In Iowa, most counties require couples to work with divorce mediators in an effort to resolve any outstanding disputes before bringing the case to court. Attorney Nick Herbold is qualified to provide mediation services with or without representative lawyers present. He is available to work with individuals and families looking to resolve family law disputes such as divorce, child custody, child support and modifications to existing court orders.
