Questions people ask.

No. The Mediation Report is not a court order and does not constitute legal advice. However, it is a timestamped, formal document that can be used as supporting evidence if your dispute proceeds to court. First Mediator is a technology tool, not a law firm.
We send the other party a room invite link via email. If they decline to join, the session does not proceed and you are not charged. Their refusal to engage is itself documented — which can be relevant if the matter escalates.
First Mediator has no relationship with either party and no financial stake in the outcome. It analyses both positions, the uploaded evidence, and the applicable legal framework for your jurisdiction. Every finding comes with a confidence score so you can see how certain the analysis is.
Yes. Session data is encrypted at rest and in transit and stored on secure cloud infrastructure. Session transcripts are retained for 12 months then deleted, in line with our privacy policy.
Yes — this is FMRefer. At the end of any session you can escalate to a verified lawyer from our directory, filtered by jurisdiction and speciality. Your full case file (transcript, evidence, First Mediator report) is packaged and sent to the lawyer automatically. They respond within 48–72 hours.

Your dispute deserves a
proper resolution.

Stop going back and forth. Let an impartial AI present your case, weigh the evidence, and walk away with a formal report — in minutes.
