Frequently Asked Questions

Please reach us at fjwagner@fjwagnerlaw.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.

Yes. By state statute in Texas, all discussions and negotiations in the mediation session are confidential.  As the Mediator, I cannot be called to testify as to what the parties have told me during our session.  There is no recording allowed in the online mediations, and no written record is kept of the conversations held between the mediator and the parties.  All information provided to me by the parties remains confidential and is not shared with the other party, unless you and your attorney give me permission to share that information.


As a mediator, I do not have the power to force a party to settle their case; my role is to facilitate the negotiations, and point out potential risks to each party in taking their case to trial.  This differs from my role as an Arbitrator, in which I am being asked to rule in favor of one party or the other.


If the parties reach a settlement, the mediator will prepare a Mediated Settlement Agreement (MSA), which outlines the terms and conditions of the settlement to which the parties have agreed.  Each party must review the MSA with their counsel before signing.  If the parties concur with the terms of the MSA, each party will sign the agreement.  The MSA, once signed, is a binding contract between the parties.  The parties may decide to draft further settlement and release documents in addition to the MSA, to facilitate the settlement.


Each party pays a separate mediation fee for the session.
