All organizations experience conflict. It is completely natural when individuals with varying backgrounds, values, and responsibilities come together at work. As a third party we may be able to give you a fresh perspective or offer unbiased suggestions.
Housing-Foreclosure
2011 Foreclosure Fairness Act provides homeowner foreclosure assistance by offering housing counseling, civil legal aid, and foreclosure mediation. The program, created by the Department of Commerce, helps homeowners and lenders explore possible alternatives to foreclosure and reach a resolution whenever possible.
Small Claims
Before you file a small claims action in Washington you may participate in a mediation hearing prior to scheduling a trial date. During mediation you will have the opportunity to resolve the problem; and come up with a mutually agreed upon settlement with the other party.
