Wiregrass Mediation Services (“WMS”) provides effective problem resolution and reconciliation services throughout South Georgia for people and businesses prior to or after the initiation of legal proceedings. Gary Wisenbaker, owner and principal mediator, practiced law in our service area for 31 years as a trial and transactional law attorney. His demeanor and incisiveness, sense of humor coupled with competence and a familiarity with the legal issues most often mediated, insure that mediations are conducted with a firmness and steadiness that brings the parties closure to their conflict with an eye toward maintaining any existing relationships. We know that mediated resolutions trump court orders or verdicts because there are no winners or losers, there is no ‘winner take all”. There are only problem solvers. And our business is helping our clients find that solution. We're different because unlike most mediation providers in the South Georgia area WMS provides mediation services on a full time, not part time, basis. This minimizes potential conflicts of interest. It allows greater flexibility in scheduling and gets our clients to the negotiating table sooner minimizing litigation involvement or expense. We understand that an effective negotiated agreement is one that is smart, efficient, and improves or maintains relationships. Effective agreements also address the interests and concerns of the parties involved. These agreements are strong and durable because they are based on the parties’ mutual assent without any uninvited direction from the mediator. Our key role is to facilitate the free flow of communication in a confidential environment, remove obstacles to that flow where required or necessary and provide assessment and direction where warranted or requested. After all, the shortest distance between any conflict and its resolution is a straight line. Let WMS help you draw that line. .
