Disputes do not have to end in a court battle. Family disputes do not have to end in divorce. There is a way to reconcile and provide some safeguards for your future. Many folks involved in a dispute simply lack the skills to resolve it, so they either give up or start a war. But it does not have to be that way.
As a special part of the practice here, we can help you resolve your dispute by assisting the disputing parties to come to an agreement for reconciliation. The purpose is to preserve the relationship of the parties involved and make a plan that will give everyone confidence to move forward.
Reconciliation Services is not therapeutic counseling. The focus is dispute resolution. Skills for resolving conflict will be shared, but if during the process it appears other services may be needed, an appropriate professional will be recommended.
Reconciliation Services is not legal counseling. While a lawyer will provide the service and she will use her legal knowledge to consider the legal effects of the agreement, she will not give you legal advice about what course of action you should take. Once an attorney meets both parties in a dispute, she can no longer represent either party in the dispute. If you are not able to reconcile, then Ms. McCray cannot represent either party going forward.
Reconciliation Services is not mediation, but it is similar. The primary goal of mediation is to resolve the dispute to avoid Court. The primary goal of reconciliation is to preserve the relationship. Whether the relationship is between a husband and wife or business partners, the goal is to help you remain together and move past the dispute.
This service will be especially meaningful to people who are Christian. Christians should resolve disputes between themselves. The Court cannot address the true issues that arise between Christians, nor can the Court address the parties from a Christian perspective. However, reconciliation services like this one can.
The process used in the service will vary according to the needs of the people involved.
