Fees are on a sliding scale based on individual income.
Mediation is MUCH less costly than the alternative of litigation.
No one loses in a mediation, whether the parties come to agreement or not. Sessions usually last 2-3 hours. Support for these services is provided in part by grants from the Massachusetts Bar Foundation and the Boston Bar Foundation. At the Community Dispute Settlement Center we provide gay-sensitive, impartial, trained mediators to help gay and lesbian disputants reach a mutually acceptable solution in a confidential atmosphere. Our mediators offer the understanding necessary to resolve a variety of conflicts involving gay and lesbian issues.
