Mediation involves an independent third person or neutral party who tries to help resolve or narrow the areas of conflict. The use of mediation early in a case can result in the more efficient and cost-effective resolution of disputes with greater satisfaction to the parties. 

A great majority of the civil cases, including marital dissolutions and other family law related matters, as well as property and contract disputes, filed in Minnesota State courts are settled without a trial. Yet, many cases do not settle until after the parties have spent a lot of time, money, and emotional energy on the conflict. Successful mediation can prevent all of that.
