Compassionate & Creative Mediation Solutions
At McCracken Kuhn Marks, we believe that resolving family law matters through mediation can lead to more positive, cost-effective, and lasting solutions. Our experienced mediators—Joanna McCracken, Irwin Kuhn, and Demi Marks—are all trained under Tennessee Supreme Court Rule 31, ensuring they have the skills and knowledge to guide families toward peaceful resolutions, using their own experience as practicing family law attorneys to help guide parties and attorneys to successful closure of their matters. We work with unrepresented parties who wish to mediate their disputes, such as divorce and child custody, without the involvement of attorneys. We also mediate for parties represented by attorneys, working in a team-like manner with the parties and counsel to reach resolutions. Our mediation space is set up perfectly with separate conference rooms and bathrooms, ensuring parties can feel comfortable having their own space during the mediation process while having the ability to come together to discuss matters collectively in the same space if that feels appropriate and productive.
Why Choose Mediation? Mediation provides a structured yet flexible environment where parties can discuss their concerns openly and work toward mutually agreeable outcomes. This process allows for:
- Lower Costs – Avoid expensive litigation fees.
- Faster Resolutions – Reach agreements efficiently without prolonged court battles.
- Control Over Outcomes – Craft personalized solutions instead of relying on court-imposed decisions.
- Reduced Conflict – Foster respectful communication and cooperation.
Our Approach: At McCracken Kuhn Marks, we take a compassionate and creative approach to mediation. We understand that every family is unique, and we tailor our strategies to fit your specific needs. Whether you are navigating divorce, child custody arrangements, or post-divorce modifications, our mediators help you find solutions that prioritize the well-being of all involved.
