Placer Dispute Resolution (Mediation)

Placer Dispute Resolution Service - PDRS - is a non-profit organization committed to assisting people in resolving their disputes through mediation.

Mediation is a better way to settle differences than a costly and time consuming court battle, calling in an authority figure, or enduring an ongoing conflict.

Mediation is a process that facilitates productive communication between disputing parties.  It is a voluntary settlement process which allows those involved to help control the decisions and work towards a peaceful resolution.

Typically, a third party, the mediator, assists the parties to negotiate a settlement.  The mediator acts as a neutral third party and facilitates rather than directs the process.  The process is private and confidential.

What kinds of issues can mediation help with?

• Noise
• Pets
• Parking
• Property Use
• Landlord/Tenant
• Annoyance Complaints
• Neighbor/neighbor Disputes
• Property Damage
• Business Disputes 
• Roommate Problems
