Benefits of Mediation

The Decision Making Power is Yours

You decide what the best solution to the problem is, not someone else. You are in control and can participate in reaching an agreement you can live with.

It Works

Thousands of cases have been successfully mediated at CMS since 1992. Mediation produces a “win/win” scenario rather than the “win/lose” scenario that is often the result of litigation. The goal of mediation is to have all parties arrive at a mutually agreeable solution to the problem.

It's Affordable

Citizens Mediation Service publishes a fee schedule approved by its Board of Directors. If you receive public assistance of any kind, mediation fees are waived. CMS is part of a statewide network of non-profit organizations providing free or low-cost mediation and dispute resolution services on a wide variety of dispute types.
