Civil Court Mediation in North Charleston, SC

Resolving Disputes Through Structured Mediation

Civil court mediation provides a practical path to resolve disputes without the expense, delay, and uncertainty of a trial. When parties participate in good faith, mediation identifies creative solutions while allowing both sides to maintain control over the final outcome. Hunt Law LLC provides professional mediation services throughout North Charleston and surrounding counties, led by Bonnie Travaglio Hunt, a South Carolina Certified Civil Court Mediator.

How Civil Court Mediation Works

Mediation is a confidential, voluntary process where a neutral third party facilitates productive discussion between disputing sides.

The Facilitator

The mediator does not act as a judge or impose a binding decision. Instead, they guide communication to clarify issues and explore resolution options.

The Process

Disputes are addressed in a structured, private setting focused on cooperation rather than confrontation.

The Outcome

Because the process is non-binding until an agreement is signed, parties remain the primary decision-makers throughout the session.

Matters Appropriate for Mediation

Civil court mediation is effective for a wide range of disputes where a negotiated resolution is possible. It is particularly valuable in cases where flexibility and preserving professional relationships are high priorities.

Contract Disagreements

Resolving breaches or interpreting complex agreements.

Employment Conflicts

Handling workplace disputes, discrimination claims, or severance disagreements.

Business & Partnership Disputes

Addressing internal conflicts or dissolution of business interests.

Property & Real Estate

Settling boundary issues, landlord-tenant conflicts, or sales disputes.

Note: While mediation is highly effective, it may not be suitable for every case. A preliminary review of the facts is necessary to determine if mediation is the right fit for your situation.

Why Consider Mediation?

In South Carolina, many civil cases are now mandated by the court to undergo mediation before proceeding to trial. Beyond legal requirements, parties choose mediation to:

Reduce Costs

Avoid the high legal fees associated with prolonged litigation and expert witnesses.

Save Time

Resolve matters in weeks or months rather than years.

Maintain Privacy

Unlike a public courtroom trial, mediation discussions remain confidential and off the public record.
