00:11
one time in fact many of the cases that
00:14
i’m involved with
00:15
take more than one mediation in order to

resolve things
00:18

00:20
mediation because you’re missing facts
00:22
or information or values
00:24
on particular assets but if mediation is
00:28
is is completely futile then your option
00:31
at that point is to set the matter for
00:33
trial and go to court
00:34
