How do we proceed once we reach a mediation agreement?

Once an agreement is reached, the attorneys will reduce the agreement to writing. The written agreement is then reviewed by the attorneys and the parties. After an agreement is fully executed by both parties, it should be filed with the court and ratified by a court order or final judgment.
