Mediation Services Expanding Within WV

Civil lawsuits often have clients and their counsel eyeing trial nearly two years down the road, rather than meeting somewhere in the middle. Alternatively, that contract once meant to be legally binding has now resulted in litigation. Once a lawsuit has been filed, it becomes a complex and time-consuming process to determine who should prevail. While that is often in the hands of the presiding judge or a jury, our attorneys at Hendrickson & Long, PLLC are skilled at helping resolve any type of legal dispute through alternative dispute resolution. The stress, expense, and overwhelming nature of going to court leaves people searching for a better way to move forward. There is an alternative within our expertise: mediation.

Our mediation services are available to help clients resolve conflicts efficiently, privately, and constructively.

With the presence of our Morgantown office, we are proud to make our mediation services more accessible than ever to individuals, businesses, and attorneys throughout Northern West Virginia.

Why Choose Mediation To Resolve Disputes?

Mediation offers an alternative to litigation that puts control back in the hands of the people involved. Instead of waiting months or years for a courtroom decision, mediation allows parties to come together in a neutral setting and work toward solutions that fit their circumstances.

We’re seeing more and more clients and attorneys in Northern West Virginia turn to mediation because of its many benefits:

• It saves time and money: Disputes can be resolved in a fraction of the time it takes to litigate.
• It keeps matters private: Sensitive information stays out of the public record.
• It is more collaborative, not combative: Mediation preserves relationships that might be damaged in a courtroom battle.

As the demand for mediation grows in West Virginia, our Morgantown office makes it easier than ever for clients to access this valuable service close to home.
