The court system is often the least effective forum in which to resolve your dispute. Its significant time and costs are well known, as is the uncertainty posed when a decision, your decision, is left to a third party, such as a jury or judge or arbitrator.

Through Zemel Mediation/ADR Services, you control all aspects of your matter. But most importantly, you maintain control over the outcome of the mediation. Mr. Zemel is impartial and remains so throughout the process, facilitating your mediation, rather than imposing a result upon the parties, as the legal system does.

Confidentiality is an integral part of the mediation process. Parties to a mediation conducted by Zemel Mediation sign a Confidentiality Agreement. And you retain control over what is disclosed to those with whom you are mediating.

Dedication to the mediation process is what you get from Zemel Mediation/ADR Services. Mediation is not just deciding who will pay how much to whom. As practiced by Mr. Zemel, mediation enables participants to foster continuing working relationships, recognize common goals and concerns, and work in collaboration, with guidance, not interference, to resolve their dispute.

Avoid litigation and its attendant time, aggravation and costs, such as legal fees, depositions and experts. Through the use of early mediation and pre-litigation mediation, many disputes can be resolved quickly, inexpensively and before relationships are permanently damaged. If litigation is already underway, mediation can resolve claims that have been unresolvable, and still save the litigants money, time and frustration.

All issues, in such diverse arenas as construction and other commercial fields, closely held businesses, medical, financial and legal partnerships, and labor and workplace disputes can benefit from mediation.

Control the decisions that affect you. Don't leave them to disinterested third parties.
