“The office’s expanded Civil Mediation services and capabilities speak to the growing needs for Lebanon and the surrounding Middle Tennessee area,” stated Phillips. “We proudly serve this area and want our clients to feel they have brought their concerns to trusted lawyers who are capable but also compassionate and will do what is necessary to find the best possible solution for all parties.”

The benefits of civil mediation may include clarification of misunderstandings, exploring alternative solutions, maintaining privacy, reducing stress, preventing expensive trials, and promoting a better solution through problem-solving.
“There are three key benefits to civil mediation vs. litigation,” Phillips continued. “Civil mediation is almost always less expensive than long-term litigation. Civil mediation allows each party to maintain a level of control to resolve the problem. Civil mediation is typically faster than litigation. We wanted the residents of Lebanon to have the benefits of mediation to address disputes.”
