Mediation can be an alternative to going to court. From their website: Mediation is not a determination of who is right and wrong, and the mediator is not a judge, fact-finder, or decision-maker. Mediators do not give legal advice. Choosing to mediate does not preclude you from your right to try other options such as litigation or arbitration. The Mediation Center helps individuals and organizations solve conflicts and resolve disputes through constructive dialogue. The kinds of conflicts that the center works with pertain to neighborhoods, housing disputes, families, consumer complaints and discrimination. Services are free or charged on a sliding scale.
