Mediation represents a unique opportunity for people and businesses to resolve their differences through self-determination and informed decision-making. Choice Mediation Colorado provides a confidential and safe environment where people can voice their opinions and search for alternatives that can lead to permanent or temporary solutions that best fit family or business needs.
Our mediation approach facilitates:
-
A party-driven process that searches for workable solutions;
-
Finding alternatives for a sensible transition while resolving conflict; and
-
Modifying agreements that can lead to reaching out-of-court resolutions.
Our services are offered without regard to culture, nationality, gender or race. We specialize in bilingual and intercultural cases. Services are provided in Spanish and English. Other languages may be available upon request. Have questions? Start at our FAQ page.
