MEDIATION AND ALTERNATIVE DISPUTE RESOLUTION

Litigation is usually the most expensive way to resolve a legal dispute. In Illinois, for example, a relatively simple litigated divorce may cost each party $10,000 - $15,000 in legal fees; high-net-worth and/or emotionally charged divorces often cost much more.

A mediated divorce may cost the separating spouses a fraction of that amount even if there are numerous issues to sort out. The spouses are often on their way after a few hours of mediation resulting in a much more cost-effective and collaborative divorce.

Aside from the lower cost, mediation is also much more time efficient. For example, an eviction may take months to complete and is only one step of the process if the landlord still seeks to collect missed rent or if the tenant feels like they were wrongly evicted. Litigating these matters is not only highly expensive for both landlords and tenants, but also time consuming. Instead, the landlord and tenant may seek to resolve their dispute through mediation in only a few short hours.
