Early Settlement Mediation Southeast Program


  • Mission

    The goal of our program is to assist individuals in working together to solve problems, play a role in decision-making, and formulate creative solutions to issues in dispute. Our mediators are vital to the success of our program in helping resolve community and domestic disputes, offering citizens in Southeast Oklahoma the opportunity to restore peace and trust.

    About Us

    In mediation, a neutral third party helps those in conflict define issues, explore solutions, and reach practical workable, and mutually satisfactory agreements. Mediation seeks to prevent conflicts from escalating, saving everyone involved the time and expense of going to court.

    Early Settlement mediators are local community volunteers who have been through the 20-hour basic civil mediation training with additional advanced trainings available for the other types of mediation Early Settlement offers.

    Briefly, here is a reminder of the types of cases that the Early Settlement programs can mediate:

    • Small Claims (including FED) cases
    • Other Civil matters
    • Family & Divorce cases
    • Adult Guardianship cases
    • Child Permanency cases

    Our success rate averages 70% meaning that 7 out of 10 cases sent to Early Settlement settle!

    All mediations are handled promptly and confidentially.
