If you happen to be looking for an attorney to help with a mediation case, look no further than Carcich O’Shea. We are experienced and highly trained in the field of mediation.
Mediation is a process in which a neutral party, also known as the mediator, helps to resolve a dispute between several parties. Essentially, the objective of mediation is to reach a win-win agreement that is mutually accepted. Due to the fact that mediation often produces favorable results for the parties involved, such cases are usually resolved rather quickly. This reduces the expenses that might be required in litigation.
Mediation is a preferred method of dispute resolution because research has shown that more than 65% of disputes submitted to mediation can be resolved without any further legal proceedings. Many people also turn to mediation because it helps maintain confidentiality and the proceedings will not be put on record unlike court cases.
It is important to hire an attorney for mediation services because they would have the legal expertise to protect your legal rights. Your attorney can also help to negotiate a settlement on your behalf and guide you through every step of the way. Having an attorney would also mean that the settlement addresses all the issues in the case that you might be concerned about. Furthermore, they will educate you on how to negotiate from a strong position.
Mediation is used for any kind of dispute. However, it is most commonly utilized in commercial matters, civil issues and family or divorce proceedings.
For participants in mediation, feelings and emotions can come into play and skew the whole proceeding to a negative place. Mediation can help to put these emotions aside so that the parties involved can come to an agreement that is beneficial to everyone.
In New Jersey many cases are ordered to mediation by the Court or parties can agree to mediation. Some contracts also mandate mediation.
Although these two legal proceedings often have the same goal of reaching a just resolution, there are some major differences between the two. The key difference is that in arbitration, the arbitrator reviews evidence and forms a decision. However, in mediation, there is a negotiation that is facilitated by a neutral mediator. It is important to note that for mediation, the parties cannot reach a resolution unless they all agree.
Rest assured that even if a mediation process is unsuccessful, there are usually further negotiations. This means that the mediators would follow up on your case if a settlement cannot be reached. Therefore, it is important that you have an attorney who can contact the other party or the mediator so that discussions can continue.

Sheila represented me in two relatively complicated employment litigation matters, both of which resulted in favorable outcomes for me. Sheila impressed me as knowledgeable, accessible, diligent, and exceedingly professional. Her excellent “bedside manner” helped to minimize stress that I know is somewhat inevitable in litigation. I highly recommend Sheila to prospective clients wholeheartedly and without reservation.
I retained the services of Sheila O’Shea-Criscione to represent me against harassment and discrimination in my place of work. She came highly recommended and did not disappoint. Sheila directed me to the right course of action, clearly explaining each step and expected outcome. She was consistently available via phone, email, or text for emotional and professional support. Sheila is an excellent attorney and a warm, kind person. In the midst of a difficult situation, she paved the way to a successful outcome. I am a stronger and more confident person thanks to Sheila!
Sincerely,
Marie Coschigano
After numerous harassment and bullying encounter with my superiors, I was desperate for guidance and help as to what my legal rights were to try and put a stop to this behavior.
I turned to a number of attorneys. After talking on the phone, all declined to take my case. Sheila was the only one who took my call and then invited me to her office to explain my situation, from that first meeting until she resolved the case, she guided and supported me. She was never tired of my phone calls and text messages. There were times when I was on the verge of resigning, but she encouraged me and told me to hang in there and be patient. She was convinced of a positive outcome if we stuck with her “game plan” even when I became skeptical and began to doubt the direction we were going.
If you should ever need legal assistance, I highly recommend Sheila – a great lawyer and a wonderful person.
