      <image:title>About Our Team - The Story of the Lotus</image:title>
      <image:caption>The lotus flower is rooted in the mud, surrounded by water and somehow finds a way to bloom and grow. A lotus pushes its way through muddy waters and finds the sunlight. Like the lotus, we can face the darkest parts of our lives to find beauty, light and hope on the other side.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Our Services and FAQ's - Why Mediation?</image:title>
      <image:caption>Mediation is highly effective, especially if it is the FIRST step that people take. The process is confidential, so it preserves a safe place to converse about issues, ask questions and change your mind without being worried it may be held against you in court. It is also empowering, as you remain in control of your own lives and decisions rather than a judge. If there are joint children involved, it is likely you would be required to participate in mediation regardless. We help keep the children out of conflict so couples may move forward as strong coparents. Mediation sets a foundation of working together through all issues, rather than against each other.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Our Services and FAQ's - What is mediation?</image:title>
      <image:caption>Mediation is a collaborative negotiation process with a trained neutral party. It’s less expensive, faster and lower conflict than attorney litigation, court hearings and/or trial. Mediators can work in lieu of attorneys or work with your individual representation. A mediator will facilitate the process, educate the parties and assess individual needs. Our job is to settle disputes while the parties maintain control over their own agreements. Once agreements are reached, we draft your settlement agreement for you.</image:caption>
