In Mediation a neutral, third party helps those in conflict define issues, explore solutions and reach practical, workable and mutually satisfactory agreements. Mediation seeks to prevent conflicts from escalating, saving everyone involved the time and expense of going to court. We will attempt to accommodate the special needs of the parties involved whenever possible. Mediators are community volunteers who have completed specialized training and are certified by the Administrative Director of Courts.
Mediators assist both parties in negotiating and solving their own problems.
They facilitate discussing problems and concerns and help the parities explore ways to improve the situation. Every effort is made to schedule sessions at the convenience of everyone.
