HOW YOU CAN STAY OUT OF COURT

Select a mediator with advanced training:
A former high school teacher and coach;
An experienced attorney with a J.D. earned from
the UCLA School of Law and more than 800 family law cases

After zealously litigating disputed family law cases for years and observing families expend tens and sometimes hundreds of thousands of dollars because of the demands of the legal system, mediator Mark Warfel decided to help change the prevailing paradigm for resolving disputes.

The emotional and legal dynamics of a litigated matter require the parties and lawyers to hire more experts, depose more witnesses, obtain more evidence, and leave no stone unturned and no available dollar unspent.

Stated another way, when it comes to litigation the party that spends the most money
obtains a practical advantage in court. This is why, for example, California law allows the courts to force the higher earning spouse to pay not only his or her own attorneys' fees, but that of the lower-earning spouse, as well.

Litigation has an imporant place in our society, but the courthouse is not a place you want to be. Litigation should be your last resort, though it is sometimes your last best option.

Mediator Mark Warfel got smart and went through rigorous advanced mediation training from the best mediators to develop the tools that can assist people in resolving disputes.

Be smart - mediate.

"Discourage litigation. Encourage your neighbors to compromise whenever you can. Point out to them how the nominal winner is often a real loser - in fees, expenses, and waste of time. As a peacemaker the lawyer has a superior opportunity of being a good man."
