Centre for Mediation & Dispute Resolution
CMDR has built its reputation on helping people to resolve conflicts and reach agreements while preserving their relationships. We do not deal with cases in which the parties have not had a prior relationship of a personal nature. For example, we do not handle cases involving insurance claims.
Our business and personal goal is to help people preserve, even enhance, relationships. This objective is obviously important in divorces involving children. For the lifetime that follows the dissolution of a marriage, parents need to be available to each other, as well as to their children.
Divorce is only one example of the need to preserve relationships. The same objective is apparent in disputes involving businesses, families, and the myriad of other ways in which people form and build ties with each other.
As a business, we are proud of our track record in helping individuals to reach
agreements that all involved parties believe are equitable and workable.
At the conclusion of a mediation, there is a general sense of satisfaction;
each party can be proud of having actively participated in the shaping of a
viable solution to the issues and conflicts that brought them to mediation.
In the process, they have learned how to mediate, a tool that they will use
again and again to tackle issues and dilemmas that arise in their personal and
business lives.
CMDR's policy is to provide you with a mediator who is best trained and experienced
to deal with your particular case. Each individual mediator offers a complementary
telephone consultation in which his and her background and fees will be fully
discussed.
