Welcome to MCS

  At Mediation & Conflict Solutions (MCS), we work with people from across southeast Minnesota who want to solve their own issues efficiently and effectively, without using the formal court system. Our clients have disputes or conflicts with other people, and they want to resolve the differences in a safe and unbiased environment, voluntarily, without filing a lawsuit. Whether you live in Rochester, Olmsted County or beyond, if you want to learn more about how successful mediation works, this web site can help!

Mediation is a method of "alternative dispute resolution" that does not involve lawyers, courthouse visits, high fees, or long delays. Our trained mediators don't take sides and don't judge you; and they won't defend anyone's opinions or actions. They simply and effectively help you solve your own problem!

Mediation works because...
  • It's fast. Mediations usually can be scheduled shortly after your first contact with MCS. And many disagreements are settled during a two-hour mediation session.
  • It's affordable. Our fees are based on a sliding scale. So you pay what you can afford to pay. And because there are no court or legal fees, you could save hundreds or thousands of dollars.
  • It's convenient. Meetings are held when it works for everyone's schedules.
  • It's confidential. Only the people directly involved know what is said during mediation. And these discussions cannot be used as evidence in court, if that becomes necessary in the future.
  • It gives you more control. There's no judge or jury who makes decisions for you. With the help of our trained mediators, you create the solution that works best for you!
