Resolving Divorce Through Mediation
For many Maryland couples pursuing a divorce, mediation is the preferred option. Divorce mediation is a process that allows each party to meet with a neutral mediator in order to discuss and negotiate the details involved in their divorce. During divorce mediation, each party can meet with or without their attorneys present.
If you are considering mediation as an option for your Maryland or Washington, D.C., divorce, talk to an attorney at Hecht & Associate, LLC, in Rockville.
“Preparing clients for mediation, managing their expectations of the process, and fine-tuning an agreement following mediation can be a very effective form of dispute resolution. Of course, this requires an open mind from the parties and a productive approach by the attorneys involved.” – Spencer Hecht

FAQs
Does Hecht & Associates offer divorce mediation services?
While Hecht & Associates does not offer mediation services directly, we are involved in mediations every day on behalf of our clients. Most mediations include attorneys as the mediator’s role is not to advocate for either side. Because resolution by mediation is so preferable, it is important to have an attorney represent you befoee, during, and after mediation, to ensure that the agreement is fair and hat it is understood by the client. Even with an attorney, mediation can lower the cost of divorce significantly.
What are the benefits of mediation versus traditional litigation?
Mediation allows parties and their attorneys to present proposals to an independent mediator who guides them through negotiation while informing them about relevant laws and likely judicial outcomes. This approach can resolve disputes without the cost of litigation.
