Lenski Mediation LLC to offer new telemediation" service through DisputeFree web-enhanced teleconferencing

Unique new service helps local community as well as people nationwide settle disputes of all kinds -- over the telephone and the Internet.

Dublin, NH (PRWEB) April 4, 2004 --Lenski Mediation has opened its phone lines and is offering teleconferenced dispute resolution services though DisputeFree, a company providing web-enhanced teleconferencing for dispute resolution via toll-free phone lines.

Tammy Lenski, Ed.D, founder of Lenski Mediation LLC, is a trained conflict resolution professional who helps settle disputes of all kinds -- business/customer, business/business, landlord/tenant, workplace, neighborhood, family, probate, eldercare, and higher education, to name a few. The new telemediation dispute resolution process takes place over the telephone, is remarkably inexpensive, and can be set up very quickly, sometimes on the same day.

Lenski offers telemediation services to people anywhere in the country, though her primary concentration is on select New England markets, including southern New Hampshire and Vermont.

DisputeFree Founder Scott Moffett says telemediation is unique in its ability to help people from all walks of life settle big or small disputes quickly and inexpensively.

Sometimes it seems that we move from one argument to another without ever really resolving the core issues," Moffett said. If the issues behind disputes dont get resolved, then the disputes never really go away. Lenski Mediation LLC and DisputeFree offer an inexpensive process that is as close as the nearest telephone -- people can take part in a fast, proven process over the phone, resolve their dispute, and move on with their lives."

Here is how the process works: One or both parties call for a no-charge initial consultation. If Lenski believes she can help and if both parties agree to attempt to resolve their differences, a secure teleconference is set-up and the resolution process begins. The parties can be in separate locations -- even in separate states if they so choose. Like other forms of mediation, the results of the telemediation process can be binding, but only if the two parties agree to it. A detailed explanation of the process is available by visiting the DisputeFree website, www.disputefree.com

By providing nearly instant access to a trained mediator at a reasonable price structure, Lenski and DisputeFree bring the mediation process to people who may not have been able to consider it before.

Mediation is a great tool," Moffett said. It has a very high rate of success -- some studies put the success rate at 80 percent or more. And, it is less likely to damage on-going personal and business relationships. DisputeFrees unique model provides a safe environment, which reduces tensions and gives people more ability to focus on developing creative and reasonable solutions to their disputes."
