Writing Your Own Future

Sue Reimer and Glewnia Daniel are local Mediators in the CSRA

“The Lord gave me the name,” Sue Reimer, from DIY Mediations tells us. “I didn’t know what DIY meant when He gave it to me, but it’s so that people can do it themselves,” she continues. Meaning that whatever issues you have, DIY Mediations helps guide you to where you come to a solution on your own. “We’re trained to ask probing questions that make them think out loud. We make them think through their settlement proposals so that they are very specific, and that everything they agree to is doable,” says Sue.

Sue Reimer and Glewnia Daniel are Certified Mediators in the state of Georgia and are in the process of becoming certified in the state of South Carolina. They are business partners at DIY Mediations and have been friends for many years. Glewnia has a background in Law Enforcement and Sue has a background in Law Practice.

“Mediation is a process in which two disputants come together in a relaxed atmosphere with a Registered Neutral, called a Mediator. We assist those disputants in reaching a settlement of their issues,” explains Sue. “If we’re successful in resolving some or all of the issues, then we create settlement documents and they’re signed right then,” she says. Each party leaves with a signed set of documents. They can then take them home or go to the courthouse and file for a court order so that their settlement is enforceable through the judicial system.

Anyone can benefit from using a Mediator. “If you’re having an issue with a spouse, a former spouse, neighbor, or co-heir of an Estate, you can choose to go to Mediation rather than to sue them in court,'' says Glewnia. “I’ve seen people say ugly things about each other in the courtroom, and leave hating each other. That makes co-parenting or any future relationship so much worse,” says Sue.

“We’re neutral. We’re not biased in favor of either party. We have no preconceived ideas as to what’s right and what’s wrong that we’re going to bring into the session. It really is going to be all about them and what they feel is best for their family,” says Sue. “It’s intended for people to have some negotiating power and it puts them in control of the outcome. They aren't counting on a judge to make the decision for them. They are writing their own future and redefining their relationship.”
