How do you know if you need mediation?

Whenever you feel overwhelmed, you should consider mediation.  If the situation you are in has elevated to a point of anger, or a cease in communication – you need mediation. When you feel like the situation could be resolved if the other person would just listen – you need mediation. It is also legally required in contested dissolutions in the counties we serve.

What if I’m clueless about laws?

Many of our clients reach out because they’re facing legal challenges that don’t align neatly with what they know or have experienced. They’re looking for clarity and guidance — and that’s exactly what we provide. Our team is committed to helping you navigate complex situations with practical, affordable solutions tailored to your needs.

My Ex said they hired a lawyer. Now what?

Most superior court cases now require mediation prior to trial. This means that if you do “get taken to court” or if you take someone else to court, you will likely still be required to attend mediation. This is the case regardless of if you hire a lawyer or not.

Is it expensive?

Not if you choose Peaceful Resolutions. Our mediators travel to you, allowing us to provide our services at much lower rates. Our standard hourly rate is $200/hr. Families earning less than $100,000 annually qualify for a reduced rate.

How does it work?

After submitting your request for a free consultation, one of our experienced mediators will contact you within 24 hours using your preferred method of communication. This initial conversation helps us understand your situation and how we can best support you.

Next, each party will schedule a private, one-on-one meeting with the mediator. These individual sessions allow space to share your perspectives, priorities, and hopes for the process in a confidential setting.

With that foundation in place, you’ll be invited to your first in-person mediation session together. Guided by a neutral and compassionate professional, this conversation is designed to promote understanding, reduce conflict, and help both parties work toward a respectful and workable resolution—so you can move forward with clarity and peace of mind.
