Mediation tomorrow and I'm terrified

CAfirst_mediation1 month ago

First mediation session in the morning. He's bringing his sister who is a paralegal. I'm bringing nothing. Should I bring documents? A friend? What do you wear?

Bring a notebook and your last three tax returns. Wear what you'd wear to a job interview. You don't have to agree to anything in the room — you can take everything home to think about.
