Felice Kirsh can be seen discussing the benefits of medation in estates disputes on AdvocateDailyTV. She notes the benefits of mediation, which include:
(1) the case will be resolved much sooner than if it were to proceed to trial;
(2) the client will incur less costs by settling at mediation than proceeding to trial; and
(3) the parties are free to craft a settlement that may deal with the issues in a more creative way than would a judgment by the court.
Nine out of ten estate litigation cases settle at mediation.
