Resolving conflicts through conversation
Mediation is a confidential and informal conversation between two or more parties experiencing a conflict or dispute. With the guidance of a mediator, parties are kept at the center of the decision-making process, working together to create the best possible solution. Outside of a courtroom, stakeholders explore their interests, voice their concerns and negotiate a settlement.
Helping you tell your story & find solutions
Brenna Furness
Marrying degrees in Social Science and Juris Doctor with her connection to community and people, Brenna Furness deeply believes in the process of Mediation. As a trained facilitative mediator, Brenna’s approach keeps parties and their interests at the center of the decision making process, letting them decide how the solution is crafted.
Negotiation is at the heart of the process to craft solutions that meet both parties’ expectations. Keeping the case out of the court system saves time, money and most importantly, valuable business relationships, friendships, family relationships and important community connections.

Benefits of Mediation
Affordable
Mediation costs a fraction of the fees associated with a typical litigation. Additionally, there is an added level of control over the process and outcome.
Creative Solutions
The negotiation process gives the parties the opportunity to craft creative resolutions typically unavailable within the scope of traditional, legal judgments.
Preserve Ties
Conflict can strain relationships. Mediation honors all stakeholders in the conflict and creates opportunity for an open and productive conversation.
Confidential
Some court proceedings become public record, searchable through multiple databases. Mediation keeps your conflict and settlement confidential and off the record.
Time Saving
Mediation is an opportunity to settle disputes in a few hours while avoiding the crowds and paperwork associated with court proceedings. It is inherently flexible and convenient.
Even Footing
Mediators are neutral third parties, acting as advocate and guide for participating parties. Without subjective barriers, a fair, solution-oriented environment is created and maintained.
