The Mission of the Marquette-Alger Resolution Service is to provide and promote a process by which people in conflict come to their own resolution.

Services Provided:

Marquette-Alger Resolution Service offers mediation, a means of solving disputes that you are unable to resolve on your own. It is a voluntary alternative to court action that is effective, satisfying, less costly and less time consuming than working through the legal system. It employs the use of professionally-trained mediators who remain neutral while guiding you to find a mutually-agreeable solution to your problem.

Confidentiality:

All mediation through our program is confidential and is court approved for resolving many types of disagreements.  Mediation is successful in many types of disputes including:

  • workplace conflict
  • small claims
  • parenting time, custody and support
  • neighborhood issues
  • divorce/division of assets
  • property and real estate
  • consumer/merchant
  • business/contract
  • landlord/ tenant

Fees:

Mediation is affordable. Fees can be waived for indigent parties. Please call for more information about our current fee schedule.

Mediators:

Marquette Alger Resolution Service mediators are community members who receive specialized training in conflict resolution techniques and communication skills.  They serve as impartial facilitators who assist disputing parties to resolve their own conflicts.  Mediators do not acts as judges; they do not decide who is right or wrong. 

Marquette Alger Resolution Service has a roster of approximately 32 mediators who volunteer their time to assist parties in resolving their disputes.  The volunteers are representative of diverse backgrounds, professions and interests.

Mediators have 40 hours of mediation training approved by the State Court Administrative Office and a minimum 10-hour internship.  Many mediators have more than 200 hours of mediation experience. Marquette Alger Resolution Service mediators have been providing mediation services since 1992.
