Frequently Asked Questions
-
Mediation is a form of Alternate Dispute Resolution (ADR). Mediators are people who are trained and licensed to assist the parties in reaching a settlement of their dispute. During a typical mediation, the parties will discuss the merits of their case with the mediator and opposing parties, then separate and allow the mediator to act as an intermediary in settlement discussions. Not every case will settle at a mediation, but many do.

An attorney may schedule the deposition of a party or witness. A deposition is a process wherein attorneys may orally ask parties or witnesses questions which must be answered under oath. A court reporter will be present and will record the conversation. Depositions are extremely important and will assist the parties in learning, securing, and solidifying the expected testimony of witnesses.

Once you have been sued you must take steps to protect yourself. If you do nothing, a default judgment will most likely be entered against you. A default judgment may allow the plaintiff to seize property, money, accounts, or other assets. If you do not defend a suit and assert claims or defenses you may have, you may waive them.
