About Us
Mediation is a proven way to resolve disputes inexpensively without tying up precious court resources. The practice of mediation has been around for decades, however large-scale mediation programs are becoming more popular.
For instance, after five hurricanes ravaged Florida in 2004 and 2005, the State of Florida implemented a state-wide mediation program to help homeowners settle disputes with insurance companies. Over thirty thousand requests for mediation were initiated by homeowners and the program boasted a success rate of over 90%.
Likewise, in 2008, as the housing market began taking a turn for the worse and the volume of foreclosures was beginning to spike, mediation has been one of the ways to ease the burden on the court system and provide a fair and equitable venue for homeowners to work out mortgage delinquencies with their lenders. Foreclosure mediation programs are popping up all over the country in an effort to help homeowners find the optimal solution to their mortgage situation.
The Mediation Case Manager web-based software platform is accessible by the mediator, program administrator, members of the court, attorneys, and all the mediation participants. The MCM has proven to be essential in managing a mediation program with a case volume exceeding 50 cases per month. The MCM helps the mediation program be successful by:
- Coordinating scheduling
- Managing program timeline requirements
- Storing documents needed to prepare for mediation,
- Tracking fees paid and owed
