Winston’s Words of Wisdom: Pick Your Battles

Some fights cost more in time, stress, and resources than they’re worth, especially if they pull focus from the bigger picture.

As attorneys, one of the most valuable things we can do for our clients is help them decide which issues truly matter for their future, and which ones can be set aside to move the process forward.

When we guide clients to focus on what’s most important, we save them from unnecessary conflict and bring resolution within reach.

Maggie’s Mediation Tip: Prepare Thoroughly

Preparation is one of the most powerful tools for success in mediation.

Before you walk into the room:
✅ Know the facts, the issues, and your goals. Take time to clarify what matters most to you and where you might be flexible.

✅ Gather all relevant documents. This includes financial statements, parenting plans, correspondence, and any prior agreements. Having them at your fingertips saves time and avoids frustration.

✅ Understand your legal rights and obligations. Meet with your attorney ahead of time to discuss your options, potential outcomes, and what’s realistic under the law.

💡 Being prepared not only keeps the process efficient, it helps you stay focused, confident, and ready to make informed decisions.

👂 Listen More Than You Talk 👂

In mediation, sometimes the most powerful move you can make as an attorney is to simply listen.

• Listen to your client not just their words, but their concerns, fears, and goals.
• Listen to the other side you might hear opportunities for agreement you didn’t expect.
• Listen to the mediator, they’re working to uncover the path forward.

When we truly listen, we don’t just hear—we understand. Understanding is often the first step toward resolution.

Winston’s Words of Wisdom: Shift from Advocacy to Resolution

In mediation, the courtroom mindset needs to take a back seat.

This isn’t about “winning.” It’s about guiding your client toward a resolution that protects their future—not just their position.

✅ Advocacy in mediation looks different: It’s listening, advising, and helping your client let go of battles that don’t serve them.

✅ It’s knowing when to push and when to pause.

✅ It’s choosing peace over pride—because resolution is the real win.

When lawyers shift from fighting for something to working toward something, everyone moves forward.

Maggie’s Mediation Tip: Set Realistic Expectations

One of the most important tips for successful mediation? Helping clients set realistic expectations.

Mediation isn’t about getting everything you want—it’s about finding common ground and creating workable solutions.

✨ The goal is resolution, not perfection.
✨ Progress, not punishment.
✨ A future-focused plan, not a replay of past grievances.

When clients understand this, they approach the process with clarity, openness, and a greater chance of reaching agreement.

Winston’s Words of Wisdom: Prepare Your Client Emotionally, Not Just Legally

In mediation, legal arguments matter—but emotional readiness can make or break the outcome.

Clients don’t just bring facts to the table. They bring fear, frustration, hurt, and sometimes, a deep sense of loss.

As attorneys, it’s our job to prepare them not just with the law, but with perspective:
✅ What does compromise look like?
✅ What truly matters long term?
✅ How can they stay calm when emotions rise?

When clients understand that mediation is about resolution—not retribution, they’re better equipped to make thoughtful decisions and move forward.

Prepare the whole client. Legal strategy works best when paired with emotional insight.

Maggie’s Mediation Tip: Help Clients Understand the Process

For many clients, mediation is unfamiliar territory. Taking time to explain what to expect, how it works, the mediator’s role, and how it differs from court can ease anxiety and set the stage for success.

✅ Mediation isn’t about “winning.”
✅ It’s about finding workable, realistic solutions.
✅ It gives clients a voice in the outcome and a chance to move forward with less conflict.

When clients feel informed and empowered, they’re better prepared to engage constructively.

Winston's Words of Wisdom— Trust the Process

In mediation, progress isn’t always linear—but that doesn’t mean it isn’t happening.

As lawyers, it can be tempting to push for quick resolutions or get discouraged when things stall. But real movement often happens in the quiet moments, in private conversations, and in the space created by a skilled mediator.

Trust the process.
Trust your preparation.
And trust that even small shifts can lead to big breakthroughs.

⚖️ Mediation works when we allow space for resolution to unfold—sometimes at its own pace.

Did you know that roughly 80% of family law cases settle in mediation?

Mediation isn’t just effective — it’s strategic. Whether your client needs to resolve custody, property, or support issues, mediation provides a path to resolution that is cost-effective, confidential, and client driven.

Benefits for You & Your Clients:

✅ Saves your client significant litigation costs
✅ Reduces court time and caseload stress
✅ Increases client satisfaction and cooperation
✅ Gives you more control over the process and outcome

Even partial settlements can narrow the issues for trial — and often, that’s all it takes to tip the scale toward final resolution.

Let’s work together to help your clients move forward with dignity and clarity.

Maggie's Mediation Tip: Keep Emotions in Check

Emotions are natural especially in family law cases, but they can cloud judgment and derail progress in mediation.

💡 Staying calm and respectful allows space for real solutions to emerge.
Take a breath. Take a break. Stay focused on the outcome, not the argument.

Remember: You’re not trying to win a fight - you’re working toward a resolution.
