Conflict is an opportunity for change

Mediation 

Mediation is a method of settling disputes with the assistance of a neutral mediator who helps the parties talk about the problem in a mutually respectful manner and work toward a creative solution acceptable to all.

Mediation is used in many kinds of disputes including neighborhood problems, consumer, 
family, landlord and tenant, small claims, mobile home parks and marinas

Mediation works because it is:

•  Voluntary and confidential

•  Informal and free of legal red tape

•  Open to creative solutions

•  Affordable and convenient

•  Everyone's voice is heard

•  Empowering for all involved

 

LCDR's mediators are trained to understand the source of conflicts and identify a path away from adversarial positions toward collaboration and agreement. We provide training in Basic Mediation. Contact us for more information.
