WHO IS MAXIM MEDIATION
Maxim Mediation provides a service to the DFW community that allows disputing parties to resolve an issue without having to go to court. Our mediators act as a non-biased neutral party to help facilitate conversations between disputing parties. Each party is in control of the final outcome. If one party does not agree to the terms then there is no final decision made. If both parties agree to the negotiated terms then a binding agreement is determined.
WHAT IS MEDIATION?
A confidential meeting between disputing parties and a trained, neutral mediator who guides a discussion of issues toward a mutually acceptable agreement. Mediators do not take sides or decide how a dispute should be resolved.

ADVANTAGES OF MEDIATION:
SATISFACTION – You control the outcome of your case and decide whether there will be an agreement, and what the agreement terms will be.
AGREEMENT – 75% - 80% of cases resolve in the mediation process – it is a world of difference communicating directly with each other as opposed to sitting down with a trained neutral mediator to help guide the conversation.
COMPLIANCE – nothing is forced upon you in mediation, we find that when people create their own solutions they are more likely then to follow through with what they came up with themselves.
Defendants can avoid a judgment on their record that can impact their credit negatively. Credit may not be impacted as long as they follow through with the mediated agreement.
Plaintiffs can work out a realistic solution with the defendant and avoid frustrating collection efforts. You can walk away with a specific plan that day as to how you will receive your satisfaction.
