11. What some of our clients are saying about us: “ My brother and I were at each other’s throats over how to handle Mom’s healthcare needs. The Conflict Resolution Center helped us agree on a plan that makes sense to all of us.”
12. “ My daughters hadn’t spoken to each other in three years. It was breaking my heart. After mediating at the Conflict Resolution Center, our family is back together and whole again and we just had the best Christmas ever!”
13. “ We were neighbors and best friends until a disagreement over a property issue pushed us to litigation. After choosing to mediate instead, we were able to work out the issue AND save our friendship. Thank you CRC! “
14. “ The Conflict Resolution Center helped us come to an agreement so I get to spend more time with my daughter. That was very important to me. We’re all very happy with the result and I would recommend this over court to anyone. With mediation, everybody wins.”
