UNITED MEDIATION SERVICES

Being a former litigation attorney for 15 years has taught Mr. Marcus a lot of things about settling cases and litigation. The fact is that well over 90% of all cases settle prior to trial. But by the time they settle, the parties are emotionally and financially drained. There is a misconception that your court case ends at the conclusion of the trial. But this is rarely the case. Not only does each side have a right to appeal the decision, but there are a number of post trial motions that can be made before the appeal even starts, such as a motion for attorneys fees by the prevailing party. Appeals can take years.

Perhaps worse than the cost of litigation is that a stranger or group of strangers is deciding your fait. They know nothing about you. And while you may believe that the facts are on your side, a ‘fact’ is nothing more than what a person judging your case chooses to believe as true. Does justice prevail or do the best liars win? The point is that your heartfelt belief in your cause does not mean that you will prevail in a court of law. Many a client has been disillusioned by the justice system.

The stress associated with litigation can be unimaginable. The entire process is adversarial, meaning that it is one side against the other, each in a sort of combat. Each side has a “hired” gun that tries his or her best to destroy the other side, or more often to force them into submission. Do you know why? Since most cases settle, it is usually just to get a more favorable settlement at the end of the day.

With United Mediation Services, you have the ability to control the results. You can negotiate a win-win situation rather than having your fait decided by a stranger. You can keep your dispute confidential. And you can end the fighting right now. Please note that United Mediation Service does not engage in the practice of law and no legal advice will be provided by the mediators.
