Mediation

Effective immediately (as of 10/5/2023), McKell Graff, PLLC are are only taking court-appointed dependency cases. We are no longer accepting private pay family law, estate planning, mediation, or elder law cases.  In-person consultation in court-appointed dependency cases are by appointment only.

Mediation is the process involving a third-party neutral who facilitates the communication between or among disputants, while exploring interests and possibilities for resolution of the disputed issues, leading to a signed final agreement. The preparation of legal documents may or may not be part of the attorney mediator’s role after agreement.

The use of mediation in legal matters by motivated parties can result in a less expensive legal experience than a traditional contested case, in terms of dollars, as well as in the emotional costs to the parties.

McKell Graff, PLLC offers mediation and meeting facilitation services in matters that otherwise would have to be litigated in court, and in matters where the parties want to avoid bringing a case in court.
