Lallas Mediation Service
CORE VALUES


-
The past is in your rearview mirror, the present is a settlement, and the future is a world of unlimited possibilities and opportunities.
-
Successful Mediation enables parties to solve their worst problems, rebuild their lives, and reclaim their identities.
-
Mediation is a negotiating process to achieve a voluntary and mutually reasonable resolution of a dispute.
-
A successful Mediation requires the parties and their counsel to be strategic, not emotionally reactive.
-
To achieve settlement, clients and counsel must check their posturing, puffing, and emotional outrage at the door.
-
A mutually approved Deal Point Agreement or Settlement Agreement and Mutual Release prior to the Mediation is the ticket to the dance for a successful and enforceable settlement.
-
The parties must be prepared to make the lowest acceptable demand, and the highest acceptable payment proposal, during the first hour of the Mediation.
-
A business divorce is worth the cost, and everything always costs more than projected if a case does not settle.
-
Mediation is a lifeline to end the nightmare of litigation.
-
Mediation is not rocket science, but a good faith collaboration by all participants to reach closure through number crunching and compromise.
-
Even mortal enemies consumed by moral outrage and bitter hatred find ways to settle disputes.
-
The parties and their counsel in a mediation are no longer adversaries, but instead, partners in resolution.
