Attorney Sweeney can help each party see the other party's position and has had great success mediating cases and keeping costs to a minimum. Attorney Sweeney conducts mediations when both parties are represented by counsel, meaning only one party or when counsel represents neither party. This dual mediation is effective when both parties seek guidance in an equal division of assets and draft the proper legal pleadings to enable a simple Joint Petition for Divorce.
As a family law practitioner, he is aware of the statutes and rules governing divorce proceedings and knows what a Probate and Family Court judge will most likely decide. Attorney Sweeney uses that knowledge throughout the mediation to help the parties agree.
It is vital for any person considering mediation to understand that mediation is voluntary and is not binding. If the parties choose to obtain the services of Attorney Sweeney as a mediator and the parties are unable to agree, then the parties are free to walk away. Attorney Sweeney, as a mediator, is not permitted to discuss or reveal any details disclosed during the mediation with the court.
