Mary Ann Foster, Mediator

Here are examples of some situations when mediation can be used instead of litigation:

• Homeowners association has issues with an owner who is violating covenants.
• Dispute over the return of real estate earnest money.
• A barking dog is causing neighbors to lose sleep.
• A contractor doesn’t complete a home improvement project.
• A new home purchaser discovers construction problems the builder won’t address.
• A tenant leaves a rental property damaged.
• A consumer purchases a defective product, and the business won’t stand behind it.
• Siblings are fighting over personal possessions following a parent’s death.
• You are injured by another person’s carelessness.
