Whenever you're in conflict with someone, there is one factor that can make the difference between damaging your relationship and deepening it. That factor is attitude. ~ William James
Why Maxim
Maxim Mediation provides a service to the DFW area and nationally, that allows disputing parties to resolve an issue without having to go to court. Our mediators act as a non-biased neutral party to help facilitate conversations between disputing parties. Each party is in control of the final outcome. If one party does not agree to the terms then there is no final decision made. If both parties agree to the negotiated terms then a binding agreement is determined.
Robyn Kissee
Founder & Principal
Robyn is Certified in Basic Mediation and Family Mediation. She began mediating and consulting for companies she worked for. Having worked over 20 years in the staffing and recruiting industry, nationally and internationally for various industries, has allowed her to gain a unique perspective from the point of view of the business, the individual, and the client company. She has negotiated several disputes as an employee of the company and now provides this service to clients of her own. As an employee of the company, she had to make sure three parties were satisfied with the outcome, her employer, her contractor, and her employer's client. This takes creativity.
Advantages of Mediation
SATISFACTION – You control the outcome of your case and decide whether there will be an agreement, and what the agreement terms will be.
AGREEMENT – 75% - 80% of cases resolve in the mediation process – it is a world of difference communicating directly with each other as opposed to sitting down with a trained neutral mediator to help guide the conversation.
COMPLIANCE – nothing is forced upon you in mediation, we find that when people create their own solutions they are more likely then to follow through with what they came up with themselves.
Defendants can avoid a judgment on their record that can impact their credit negatively. Credit may not be impacted as long as they follow through with the mediated agreement.
Plaintiffs can work out a realistic solution with the defendant and avoid frustrating collection efforts. You can walk away with a specific plan that day as to how you will receive your satisfaction.
