However, the mediator will help you and the other party focus on reaching an agreement that is acceptable to all parties involved in the dispute. The mediator will draft a written agreement. WHEN CAN | GO TO MEDIATION? You may participate in mediation before your court appearance date regardless of where the case was filed. If you choose mediation, you are encouraged to contact the following agencies as soon as possible to schedule the mediation or to ask any questions that you may have: SMALL CLAIMS DISPUTES SANTA CLARA COUNTY DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROGRAM SERVICES at (408) 792-2327 or email ooencase®ohr.secqov.orq or visit www.sccdrpsorg HOUSING & NEIGHBORHOOD DISPUTES SANTA CLARA COUNTY DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROGRAM SERVICES Community Disputes at (408) 792-2327 or email opencase@ohr.sccgov.org or visit www.sccdrgs.org OR PROJECT SENTINEL Gilroy, Palo Alto, Mountain View, and Sunnyvale at (408) 720-9888 The staff at the offices listed above will discuss the mediation process with you.
