Mac Pierre-Louis and Natalia Olowska-Czajka of OlowskaPierre.com talk with Tye Bourdoney of CPLSPA.com to explain why a mediator can be trusted by both parties to the conflict, even if a particular mediator is indicated by the other party or this party's attorney. They are also showing how to choose a mediator yourself if you do not have a clue how to do it, showing the mediators' directory available at InstantMediations.com. Mediators are not biased and they are not there to judge any of the parties. Mediators need to be transparent to the parties of who they are and what they do in the mediation process and on top any circumstance which might raise doubt as to the mediator's neutrality and impartiality should be disclosed by the mediator at the very beginning of the mediation.  There are also safeguards in mediation to ensure that mediator can be trusted, such as its confidentiality and the fact that it is voluntary throughout the entire process. Lastly, mediators are bound by the law, the ethical rules and the contracts they enter into with the parties.

Mac and Natalia of OlowskaPierre.com in conversation with Fran Brochstein (FamilyLaw4u.com) about the family conflicts which can arise with the ageing of our loved ones - moms, dads, grandmas, grandads, uncles and aunts, brothers and sisters. Handling such a situation with dignity and gentleness requires skills which can be offered by a family mediator specializing in elderly care mediations. Such a mediation may engage a few generations yet assures that a tailored made solution is reached when it comes to the care of family members and covering the costs of it.
