Mediation Statements
Mediation Statements can assist the mediator in preparing for the mediation session. They should include the nature of the parties, facts of the case, issues in dispute, and status of the legal proceeding. Please submit any statements at least 48 hours before the mediation and indicate whether they have been exchanged with the other party or should remain confidential. Submissions should be sent by email to lara@tibbalsmediation.com.
Pre-Mediation Calls
Tibbals Mediation schedules a pre-mediation call with counsel of record or the parties (if pro se) to gain an understanding of the issues in dispute, discuss possible challenges to settlement and any other information that may assist in achieving agreement. This confidential caucus is an important step towards successful mediation.
