Why Should I Choose Mediation?
Mediations are informal, guided negotiations in which the neutral individual (the mediator) explores a resolution of a case with the parties, taking into consideration the elements of the case and the particular risk factors of trying the case for both sides. The mediator’s job is to remain completely objective and impartial throughout the entire process of helping the parties reach an agreement and efforts to find common goals that both parties share.
Until a resolution agreed upon by the parties is established, the results are non-binding; hence, mediations present an opportunity to communicate differences, establish common ground, produce value, and agree upon a mutually satisfactory solution instead of being constrained by the pronouncement of a judge or jury.
The mediator establishes ground rules for both parties to abide by in order to ensure complete fairness and cooperation throughout the entire mediation process.
How Judge Emil Giordano will help you:
He is well-versed in thoroughly dissecting a dispute in order to identify both its large and small elements. He helps parties realize opportunities for creating value not possible through litigation so parties will feel like they have gained, not lost something, in the process. He is committed to allowing both parties express their sides uninterruptedly, particularly the emotional aspects that accompany the perspectives of all parties involved. He will not value a case unless specifically asked to do so.
Mediation statements submitted by the counsel are required. Additionally, this counsel must provide an introductory statement and participate in direct and honest negotiation. Ideally, essential decision makers are in attendance during mediations; however, if this proves impossible, teleconferencing arrangements may be made.
Judge Giordano possesses all of the tell-tale signs of a great mediator: he is equipped, self-aware; consistent, a great listener, impartial, reliable, original, determined, and guides the parties to their solution.
