Every year, BBB Mediation Services helps thousands of people resolve tough problems without going to court—or giving in.
BBB Mediation staff and volunteers are trained to help people resolve problems and settle disputes in several ways.
Many conflicts arise because people aren’t communicating at all. Our mediators spend a lot of time coaching people on how to negotiate effectively on their own, because that’s by far the best way to deal with problems. A little advice and encouragement from a dispute resolution specialist may be all it takes.
If it’s too late for that, a member of our staff can often conciliate a settlement with a couple of letters or phone calls.
But, for a lot of reasons, it might make more sense for BBB Mediation Services to mediate your dispute in a face-to-face meeting at a convenient time, on neutral ground, with an impartial mediator. Mediation is completely voluntary and confidential, and you remain in control of the outcome. No one will force you—or the other party—to accept a settlement.
BBB Mediation Services serves Fresno, Tulare and Kern counties. There is no cost for small claims, evictions, civil harrasments or other civil cases that meet our selection criteria.
