Psychology of Settlement and Mediation
Friday, April 20, 2018 | 10:45 AM

Only a tiny percentage of trust and estate cases go to trial but clients may expend a great deal of energy and costs preparing for a trial, the results of which will satisfy no one.

A good mediator is cognizant of those fallacies and will work to remediate these problems.
