Mediation

Minneapolis Divorce Mediation Attorney

Most divorce cases settle in mediation. Over the years, divorce mediation has been deemed so effective that Minnesota courts expect most divorcing couples to try an alternative dispute resolution (ADR) method before proceeding to the courtroom. At the downtown Minneapolis law office of Kathleen M. Picotte Newman, we believe in mediation as a tool for effective resolutions as well—so much so that the concepts of mediation are integrated through all aspects of our practice. We know that one of the reasons divorce mediation is an effective tool is because it is less expensive both emotionally and financially. It also gives couples more power to create solutions that really work for them, instead of merely following a judge's orders.

Lawyers Experienced in Successful Mediation Strategies

Kathleen M. Newman has been a trained Qualified Neutral for many years. As a neutral, she appeared on the court roster of people guiding parties through alternative dispute resolution processes. Her experience as a Qualified Neutral gives her a true understanding of the process that has proved invaluable. As an attorney, she continues to represent her own clients in mediation and has experienced a great deal of success.

What Couples Should Know About Mediation

Mediation is confidential. Even if you eventually go to trial, the issues and ideas that are expressed in mediation will not come before the judge, so you know that you can feel free to discuss matters honestly without fear of repercussions. Mediation is a fair and equitable practice that does not favor one spouse over the other. How the mediation goes often depends on the quality of the mediators and the quality of the attorney you choose to represent you. At our law office, we only work with a few select, accomplished mediators who are known for helping clients create successful solutions.
