CHATTANOOGA– Who wants to end up in court? Most have no desire to find themselves engaged in a court battle that may span months or even years and would prefer a remedy to a conflict that avoids a lengthy court process. Litigation can be acrimonious, expensive, and can drag on for months or even years. While there may be a winner and a loser in the end, oftentimes both sides can walk away feeling as though they’ve lost.
The Law Firm of Thomas & Thomas is prepared and experienced in courtroom litigation, if your needs are best met through that process. However, alternative dispute resolution, such as mediation, is frequently a better decision.
Conflict resolution can be difficult to achieve, especially when personal finances are involved, the parental rights or custody of a child or if a contract is disputed.
Mediation can offer a much faster resolution in a less intimidating environment. In addition, the cost of mediation is much lower than that of litigation. The process itself also permits more holistic participation as the parties work through discussion and feedback, helping both sides to reach an acceptable resolution. This collaborative process enables the two sides to leave the discussions, whatever the resolution, on a far more positive note than is usually possible after litigation.
The Law Firm of Thomas & Thomas features attorneys specifically trained and experienced in mediation who will either represent a specific party seeking a favorable outcome while avoiding the prospects of a costly trial or can serve as the neutral mediator for the purpose of impartial remedy.
Another advantage of mediation is confidentiality. Litigation is a matter of public record, with transcripts and evidence that is revealed. Mediation does not have the same set of rules. No transcripts are kept and the evidence that pertains to the case does not run the risk of being shared beyond the mediation itself.
The Law Firm of Thomas & Thomas is prepared to recommend the best legal path for your best interest, whether mediation or litigation, weighing not just the immediate outcomes but the possibility of lingering effects to you, your family, your business partners and others.
