Above: Video by John Reaves on Environmental Mediation.
John Reaves is credentialed as a mediator through the National Conflict Resolution Center, a world-recognized mediation training center. He co-founded the Land Use and Environmental Mediation Group, a division of NCRC.
He is a Settlement Master for the Santa Barbara Superior Court and mediates a wide range of business, real property, unlawful detainers, malpractice, environmental and general civil matters.
John decided to become a mediator in order to offer parties an opportunity to try to resolve matters on their own with the help of a neutral facilitator as a way to avoid the strain, uncertainty, time, and expense of litigation.
He is available to act as a mediator in a wide variety of disputes and cases ranging from business, real property, business insurance, and general civil matters, to, of course, environmental. For some environmental and other matters, with cooperative parties, mediation can have the potential to achieve better outcomes than litigation without filing a lawsuit.
Central Coast Mediation is part of the Law Office of John Reaves, APC.
