Our Mediation Team
MMC brings together the best of professionalism, experience, and compassion.
Each of our mediators is on the roster of state court-qualified mediators, meaning they have completed the necessary education and training as required by state law. MMC offers community mediation services at $150 per hour, on a sliding scale and in Spanish. When MMC receives income from a community mediation, 50% of what we receive (excluding the $25 administrative fee) is passed on to the mediator. This allows us to retain a qualified and engaged mediation roster to best serve our community.
Our small claims court (Silver Summit Courthouse) and landlord/tenant mediation services are performed at no charge.
