"In a mediation, the parties can, together, creatively assemble what they both need in a mutually beneficial order.  Besides being self-directed, mediation is a much more efficient, less expensive and less time-consuming method than the Court process. Parties control the schedule outside the Court’s crowded calendar. A skilled mediation enhances all of these goals and benefits.” - Thomas D. Wright
