Walny Legal Group is the only Estate and Probate Mediation Service registered with the Wisconsin Association of Mediators. We serve as neutral mediators in your dispute to help you avoid costly litigation and preserve your family relationships.
Instead of litigating your dispute in a public courtroom, mediation provides a confidential alternative to resolving a conflict that can save you both time and money. Mediation provides an environment where everyone has a chance to be heard and disagreements are discussed one at a time with a neutral mediator leading the discussion.
The following disputes benefit from mediation:
Walny Legal Group helps you reach a mutually desired outcome by encouraging dialogue between you and other interested parties, and brainstorming options for resolution. As neutral mediators, we do not provide legal advice or advocate for either side. Instead, we help you understand the options available and how the law applies to the dispute so you can make an informed decision on your own or with the help of your own legal counsel.
Control: Mediation provides the opportunity to resolve disputes on your own terms, rather than having the court determine the outcome. Also, unlike a dispute in a courtroom that could go on for years, mediation provides a mutually acceptable result in a known time frame.
Confidentiality: By keeping your dispute out of the courtroom, third parties cannot search public records about your dispute. Additionally, the law protects the confidentiality of the mediation process to promote open communication between you and the other party during the mediation.
More Solutions: Unlike litigation, in which the law limits the remedies available to a judge to resolve a dispute, mediation allows you to create your own solution by taking non-legal as well as legal interests and options into consideration.
Relationships: Litigation puts one side against the other and tends to escalate conflict, which can be especially damaging when you are disputing with family members. Because both sides have to work together during mediation to develop a solution, you may also develop communication and problem-solving skills that will benefit the relationship in the future.
Cost savings: Finally, mediation saves you time and money. By settling your dispute through mediation you can save court costs, legal fees, and your time.
With extensive experience in mediation services, including court-appointed mediation, as well as our firm focus on estate and probate matters, Walny Legal Group is uniquely suited to mediate and help you resolve disputes in these areas.
