- Did you know that more than 95% of “big” civil cases are settled without a trial? Legal professionals know that settling a case is less risky, less stressful, and less expensive. A settlement also gives the parties more flexibility, more options, and more power than taking the case to trial. Mediation is now available in Stanislaus County for small claims and other “small” civil cases. You don’t even have to file a lawsuit. Just call or e-mail the Mediation Center, and our staff will let you know whether mediation is the right choice for you.
