Mediation

Many civil cases can be solved through Mediation. Mediation is an accepted part of Texas civil litigation for judges, attorneys and parties to cases.

Mediation allows both parties and their attorneys to meet and come to an acceptable legal agreement and resolve their dispute. The settlement agreement is then submitted to the presiding Judge thus avoiding a costly trial. Advantages include:

  • Parties settle their disputes with their attorneys and a neutral attorney (mediator).
  • Faster and less expensive than a trial.
  • Judges can move forward their crowded dockets.

Appeals

An appeal is a legal proceeding by which a case is brought before a higher court for review of the decision of a lower court. An appeal is not a retrial or a new trial of the case. The appeals courts do not usually consider new witnesses or new evidence. Appeals in either civil or criminal cases are usually based on arguments that there were errors in the trial's procedure or errors in the judge's interpretation of the law.

Appellate attorneys ask a higher court to reverse the decision of a trial court after final judgment or other legal ruling. No new evidence is admitted on appeal, for it is strictly a legal argument.
