Civil Litigation Mediation

Our trained mediators provide mediation services to parties involved in civil lawsuits.

Mediation can often help people reach agreements about how to resolve civil lawsuits including:

• Debt issues
• Consumer/Business disputes
• Contract disputes
• Property disputes

If you have received a summons

If you have received a summons, the first thing you need to do is to file a response with the court. If you do not know how to do that, some good resources are:

• Oregon Law Help
• Oregon State Bar Lawyer Referral Service   
• Clackamas County Law Library
