With decades of legal experience behind its approach, Resolution Services focuses on helping parties resolve disputes through Mediation, Facilitation, Conciliation, and Early Neutral Evaluation. Our work spans business, commercial, and employment matters, with an emphasis on achieving fair, practical outcomes that allow parties to move forward without the burden of extended court proceedings.

Resolution Services offers both in-person and remote mediation options. In-person mediations are available within Kern County, while remote mediations are offered for clients throughout California. Remote mediation allows clients to participate from their own location while still benefiting from a structured, professional process focused on reaching a resolution. Please note that additional charges may apply for in-person mediations to cover venue bookings and related costs.
