Mediation

Choice Mediation for Dispute Resolution's services also are available to Torrance residents to help resolve conflicts within the areas of neighbors, obstruction of views, noise, landlords/tenants, animal control, business/consumer, homeowner associations, and more. 

Mediation provides an alternative method of resolving problems without letting an outside party/process make the decision for you.  Through the mediation process participants decide the outcome of a dispute and determine the terms of an agreement.  The mediator does not make the decision, but helps to guide them in reaching a solution that is right for them.  It is also an opportunity for the participants to discuss their issues openly with the reassurance that their communication will remain private and within their control.  Since the participants involved in the dispute play active roles in resolving the issue, they usually are comfortable and supportive of the solution. 

Torrance residents may request a referral to Choice Mediation by telephone at (310) 618-5880.
