About Gillian A. Brady

As a Mediator, I help people resolve conflicts and move forward with their lives.I am a private, confidential Mediator. I specialize in family and elder issues. I have been a licensed Attorney for 24 years and a Mediator for 20 years. I have helped hundreds of clients successfully resolve their disputes through my unique, structured mediation process. I have focused exclusively on mediation since I founded Better Solutions Mediation & Law Services in 2004. In 2017 I acquired Finding Common Ground Mediation and Law Services™. I have over 650 hours of mediation and conflict resolution training. Most attorneys focus on litigating, and only mediate "on the side." When you are choosing your mediator, it is very important to find a mediator with real mediation skills. Attorneys who spend most of their time going to court are advocates in a "win-lose" adversarial system. Mediators have a different set of skills and an approach that is not based on the old-fashioned "win-lose" assumption. Mediation skills must also be studied and practiced constantly in order to be effective.DON'T LITIGATE, MEDIATE.With Mediation you: * Pay Less * Maintain Control * Promote Respect and Consideration * Focus on the Future * Reach Mutual, Lasting AgreementsIf you have children, Mediation helps you focus on the best interests of your children. I specialize in comprehensive parenting plans to help both parties avoid future conflict. Parents who mediate avoid ongoing court battles, which not only benefits their children, it saves everyone from the stress and high-cost of returning to court every time an issue arises.Visit my website to hear what my clients have said about my mediation process. Or call me directly, I will talk to you personally to help you decide if mediation is the right fit for your situation.

  • Better Solutions Mediation & Law Services
    Owner
    Better Solutions Mediation & Law Services Nov 2004 - Nov 2017
    I founded Better Solutions Mediation & Law Services because I wanted to help people resolve their disputes without battling in court. As a litigator I saw the high cost a family pays when it gets sucked into the adversarial world of family court. Not only is it more expensive to hire two attorneys and fight in court, there are other, longer lasting costs to the family including the emotional stress on the children and their parents, the lack of productive communication that creates unnecessary conflict, and the adversarial atmosphere which fuels ongoing difficulties for years after the legal issues have been decided. Add to that the lengthy delays due to budget cuts and attorney strategy and a legal process where a divorce can take years to complete and you have a recipe for a total lose-lose outcome. Mediation truly is a better solution because it allows people to communicate directly in a safe environment with a trained neutral who can help them get necessary information and resolve their issues in a productive manner. I have mediated hundreds of cases and with my carefully structured Better Solutions mediation process, I have seen how even the highest conflict cases can be resolved with agreements that work in the long run. Mediation really is a win-win opportunity because people who mediate save money and time while maintaining control over the outcome.
