Yes, Maes Law offers mediation. Mediation is a voluntary, confidential process where a neutral mediator helps parties experiencing conflict work toward mutually acceptable agreements on issues such as custody, parenting time, support, and property division. Mediation often reduces conflict, time, and legal expenses.

To learn more about mediation, go to our Mediation Services page.

In mediation, the mediator does not represent either party and does not make decisions for you. When you hire an attorney, that attorney represents your individual interests and provides legal advocacy. Some clients choose mediation, while others need representation.

The timeline varies depending on whether the matter is contested, the complexity of the issues, and the conflict level of the parties.

During your consultation, we will discuss our services and our fees. The cost will depend on the kind of service and the number of hours it will take to perform the service.

Maes Law offers trauma informed services to individuals experiencing safety concerns. It is important to choose a mediator or attorney that has experience working with survivors. If you have safety concerns, please contact a domestic abuse or sexual assault advocacy program in your service area for safety planning. If your concerns are immediate, contact your local law enforcement agency or country sheriff's department for assistance.
