No Legal Advice
Mediation Pro Se and its representatives are not acting as attorneys and do not provide legal advice, legal opinions, or legal representation. Nothing contained on this website or communicated during mediation should be relied upon as a substitute for independent legal counsel.
No Attorney-Client Relationship
Use of this website, communication with Mediation Pro Se, or participation in mediation services does not create an attorney-client relationship or any fiduciary relationship. No such relationship exists unless expressly stated in a separate written agreement.
Unauthorized Practice of Law Notice:
Mediation Pro Se strictly complies with all applicable laws governing the unauthorized practice of law. Services are limited to mediation and facilitation only. No legal documents are prepared in a capacity that constitutes legal advice or representation.
Neutral Role of Mediator
The mediator acts as a neutral facilitator and does not advocate for either party. The mediator does not determine who is right or wrong, does not impose decisions, and does not provide strategic legal guidance to either party.
Encouragement of Independent Counsel
All parties are strongly encouraged to seek independent legal, tax, and financial advice prior to entering into any agreement reached through mediation. Parties are solely responsible for understanding the legal consequences of any agreement.
Confidentiality
Mediation communications are generally confidential under California Evidence Code §§1115–1128. However, confidentiality may be subject to certain legal exceptions. Additionally, electronic communications (including email and online platforms) may not be secure, and Mediation Pro Se does not guarantee the confidentiality of such communications outside of the mediation process.
No Guarantees or Outcomes
Mediation Pro Se makes no representations or guarantees regarding the outcome of any mediation. Agreements reached are voluntary and depend entirely on the parties involved.

Mediation Pro Se operates in California, and the information provided is based on California law. Laws may vary by jurisdiction, and users outside of California should consult appropriate local professionals.
Arbitration of Disputes
Any dispute arising out of or relating to the services provided by Mediation Pro Se, including but not limited to fee disputes or claims related to this agreement, shall be resolved through binding arbitration in the State of California, in accordance with the rules of a mutually agreed-upon arbitration provider.
This arbitration provision applies solely to disputes between Mediation Pro Se and its clients and does not apply to disputes between mediation participants or to the substantive terms of any mediated agreement.
The parties agree that arbitration shall be conducted on an individual basis and not as part of any class or representative action. Each party shall bear its own legal fees and costs unless otherwise required by law or determined by the arbitrator.
Nothing in this provision prevents either party from seeking relief in small claims court for matters within its jurisdiction.
