How Does Mediation Work
Mediation is a voluntary process with the goal of reaching an agreement
Mediator acts like a referee providing structure and guidance for a discussion between the parties who have a dispute
Parties agree to participate in good faith, listen respectfully and engage in courteous and meaningful discussion in an effort to resolve their issues
Mediator is impartial, does not take sides, or render a decision
Mediator can provide legal information but cannot provide legal advice
Everything discussed in mediation is strictly confidential under Colorado law. Exceptions are when a party or parties agree to share information.
Parties ultimately decide how to resolve dispute, and the terms and conditions of agreement
Mediator assists the parties in preparing a written agreement
A signed agreement/stipulation may be submitted to court by any party for review and is enforceable. However, the Mediator’s notes nor the Mediator can be subpoenaed to appear in court as the process is confidential.

What People Are Saying
“Through mediation, the tenant received hands-on support to help stabilize her situation. At the initial session, Julie Manning, worked to create an action plan. She provided a detailed list of resources and the tenant was able to secure a range of assistance ultimately allowing her and her family to remain in their home. I just thought mediation made such a difference, and I’m so, so glad that we were able to avoid an eviction.”
—E. Mayne, Landlord who received the 4 months of back rent they were owed, Brothers Redevelopment Client
“I want to take a moment and let you know how much you have changed my life. I’m more grateful to you than words can say. Few people possess the considerate, unselfish, loving heart that you have for helping people.”
— Christine, Tenant who was able to find the financial resources to pay the back rent owed avoiding eviction and stay in her home, Brothers Redevelopment Client
