What Is a Facilitator and What Is Mediation?

In this episode of The Real Deal With Andrew Creal, Maddin Hauser attorney Andrew Creal explains the difference between mediation and facilitation in Michigan litigation and why these tools are essential for resolving disputes without going to trial.

With court dockets overwhelmed and most cases settling before trial, mediation provides a valuable opportunity for parties to reach a resolution with the help of a neutral third party, often a seasoned attorney or retired judge. Andrew explains how the process works, the role of the facilitator, and why hearing difficult truths from someone other than your lawyer can be a turning point in a case.

Whether you’re a plaintiff, defendant, or just trying to understand how litigation works in practice, this video provides useful insights into why most cases settle outside the courtroom.
