Mediation

At Emerald Vale Legal Services, we believe that mediation is not just about resolving disputes but also about empowering families to make decisions that are in their best interest, fostering an atmosphere of cooperation and understanding.

We take a personalized approach to mediation. Our mediator, Joseph Taggart, is dedicated to working closely with each participant to gain a thorough understanding of their individual goals, values, and concerns regarding the matter at hand. By fostering open communication and ensuring that each party feels heard and respected, Joseph helps facilitate a collaborative environment where both parties can work towards a resolution that is mutually beneficial for everyone involved.

Family law mediation is a voluntary, confidential process where a neutral third party, known as a mediator, helps family members resolve disputes related to divorce, child custody, property division, and other family matters. The mediator facilitates communication, encourages understanding, and assists the parties to reach a mutually acceptable agreement. The mediation process is almost always faster, less expensive, and less adversarial than traditional litigation, allowing families to maintain control over the outcomes and make decisions that best suit their own unique circumstances.

Joseph's extensive experience and compassionate approach enable him to tailor the mediation process to the unique dynamics and needs of each party involved. He employs a variety of techniques to help clarify issues, explore options, and negotiate agreements that prioritize the well-being and future harmony of the family. Our highest goal is to help families reach amicable agreements that reduce conflict and promote positive relationships moving forward.
