Lawyer Mediator
Legal Knowledge You Can Trust
Have you ever noticed how, with the same set of facts, two teams of lawyers can reach completely different conclusions about the likely outcome? They often give what feels like opposite advice to divorcing spouses. A lawyer mediator understands this dynamic! Because they are both a family lawyer and an accredited mediator, they can help you see how the law might apply to your situation without the confusion of conflicting legal advice.
You can have complete confidence that a legal mediator understands the court process such as when and how to submit agreements to the court. Many couples ask, “Is it really necessary to have our mediated agreement made into a consent order?” Without giving advice, a lawyer mediator or solicitor mediator knows exactly when that step is worthwhile and can explain it clearly.
Helping You Choose the Right Path
A family mediation lawyer can also help you decide whether to go to mediation first or to a lawyer. By giving you clear information about what mediation can achieve, a lawyer mediator helps you decide whether you are happy with that process or whether you prefer to seek paid legal advice, either alongside or instead of mediation.
Remember, you must usually meet a mediator before proceeding to court. Starting with a solicitor mediator is almost always far cheaper than going straight to legal representation. Mediation gives you both a chance to find a fair outcome together guided by an accredited mediator who understands the legal framework without taking sides.
Supporting Both Clients Fairly
A legal mediator sees you both equally as clients. You can rest assured that they aim to serve you both well, helping you reach an outcome that feels fair and balanced. Unlike traditional legal routes, where each person has their own lawyer, a lawyer mediator works to ensure both voices are heard and has no vested interest in the case proceeding to court.
