A trained neutral person helps you and the other person talk through problems and find solutions you both agree on. They help with landlord-tenant issues, family problems, neighbor disputes, workplace conflicts, and business disagreements. The mediator doesn't take sides or make decisions - they just help you communicate better. Sessions happen in person or online Monday through Friday. Most people (75-80%) reach agreements. You must live or have a business in San Diego County to qualify.
