We value the opportunity to assist people in working together in reaching a resolution by communication, not opposition.

Canova Values

Canova Mediation began as an alternative to the more hardline, rigid and costly litigation process. We continue to exist as more and more people are realizing the value of resolving their differences in an effective way.

Trust

We value the trust our clients give to allow us to help them work through very difficult times in their lives.

Mediation Process

We value the mediation process as it provides families in conflict a better way to address answers that will work for them.

Communication 

We value communication because words, not wars, solve problems.

Family

We value family as parents of 3 children because the dynamics of each household need personal attention, not court intervention.

Schedule a Meeting

Going through mediation can be stressful for those who don’t know what to expect. At Canova Mediations, we prepare our clients for a smooth process where both parties know what is expected of them from start to finish.
