General and Civil Mediation

Schedule a Consultation

 
 

General and civil mediation is a confidential process where a neutral third party helps individuals or businesses resolve a wide range of non-criminal disputes. These can include disagreements over contracts, property, finances, landlord-tenant relationships, and other civil matters.

Mediation offers an alternative to traditional court proceedings by encouraging collaboration and mutual agreement, often saving time and reducing costs.

At Greater Atlanta Family Counseling, we recognize that many civil disputes intersect closely with the personal and relational challenges we address in therapy. Conflicts over finances, housing, family dynamics, or caregiving responsibilities can often be deeply intertwined with emotional stress, communication breakdowns, and trauma—areas where our therapists and mediators bring unique insight and sensitivity.

Common topics addressed in general and civil mediation include:

  • Contract disputes

  • Property boundary or neighbor conflicts

  • Landlord-tenant disagreements (such as lease issues and eviction)

  • Small business partnership conflicts

  • Debt or financial disagreements

  • Personal injury claims

  • Consumer complaints

  • Employment disputes outside of formal litigation

  • Disagreements over home repairs or contractor services

By combining therapeutic understanding with mediation skills, our team helps parties move beyond confrontation to find practical, respectful solutions that work for everyone involved.

Whether disputes involve family members, neighbors, business partners, or landlords and tenants, general and civil mediation provides a collaborative alternative to courtroom conflict.
