JimW Hildreth, Real Estate Mediator just mediated a disagreement between me and another party. Fascinating process. Instead of the antagonistic process you feel in small claims, we both shared our concerns, asked questions and Jim facilitated us to both understand the other's viewpoint.

Jim W Hildreth Mediator
Jim Hildreth oversaw a small claims case for our company at the Tuolumne County Superior Court. I had past experiences with mediation, and going in I was convinced that it would not be successful. Because of Jim's knowledge and ability to listen, we were able to come to a resolution without the court's involvement. I highly recommend him for mediation in a Real Estate or Landlord Tenant dispute. Thanks Jim!

"Woodfall's Law of Landlord and Tenant"
The young couple had been renting from the landlord for several years, the landlord offered them a opportunity to relocate to the family home as they were going to rent the home for several years as the market was depressed.
The landlord encouraged the husband and wife to take an active role in the remodeling that included painting, refurnishing the hardwood floors.
The couple jumped at the opportunity and spent hundreds of hours in transforming the home.
Words were used such a lease option and your time will be worth your extra efforts.
The home was in the best shape in decades and the home was shining with its new look.
The couple was weeks away from moving in and the landlord dropped a "bombshell" on the couple.
The landlord announced, the home had been sold.
To add insult to injury the couple was served with a 60 day notice to vacate their present home as that property was going to go on the market.
The double blow seems unreal.
An attorney for the tenant couple was prepared to file litigation.
The couple stated they had trusted the landlord and went against their own judgment to have something in writing.
The lesson is that its always best to put things in writing and form an agreement.
If a problem does occur, it will add weight as to the intent of the parties.

Tuolumne County Superior Court Mediation
Yesterday, I did a mediation that involved an attorney and his client over a fee dispute. Having taken previous training on "Fee Disputes", the training was valuable when the client sued the attorney as he felt the retainer that he had paid was not worthy of the attorney's services.
Within 2 hours both parties reached an agreement. Prior to mediation the attorney desired binding arbitration.
Mediation brought about a better understanding, open communication and resolve.
Mediation with a "neutral" was key along with compromise.
The Tuolumne County Superior Court in Sonora has a new Alternative Dispute Resolution program and mediation has been very effective in high rates of settlement versus the time involved with litigation.
