About Us
Westbay Mediation Group is a provider of mediation services, continuing education training courses for certified mediators, and marriage education programs. We are dedicated to the promotion of nonlitigious methods in the, prevention, management, and resolution of disputes.
Our Philosophy
As a society we are overly litigious. Over the years,
we have been programmed to sue each other, the moment something, or
some event, does not go as expected. At Westbay Mediation we believe
that the resolution of most civil disputes, is best handled in a nonlitigious
manner. The power to resolve these issues always reside with the parties
involved. Therefore we believe in empowering the parties with the
tools, to help them resolve their own issues, and find accord with
each other. For too long we have been conditioned to always look to
the courts for satisfaction, when in fact, the courts should be a
destination of last resort. Even then, we should continue to find
ways to peacefully resolve our issues.
Our Mission
The mission of Westbay Mediation Group is to provide
out of court settlement options for parties engaged in conflict. In addition we want to
become the leading provider of mediator, and marital education training programs.
Our Passion
We are peacemakers, relationship experts, and facilitators, with a passion for helping and
educating people. This is the core reason for the creation of our
firm.
