We are successful in finding meaningful solutions for all parties, often avoiding an eviction for the defendant and payment options for the plaintiff.<\/p><p align=\"justify\">Mediation allows you to maintain control and a say in the outcome of your case!<\/p><p align=\"justify\">If you are interested in our services, please contact us at <a href=\"mailto:contact@congressofneutrals.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">contact@congressofneutrals.org<\/a> or call (925) 937-3008 or (925) 307-9520.
