Superior Court Alternative Dispute of California - County of San Resolution Bernardino

Alternate Dispute Resolution (ADR) provides an opportunity for parties to receive assistance reaching a resolution in their small claims, land- lord tenant, civil, family law, probate case with a trained mediator. The Inland Fair Housing and Mediation Board (IFHMB) provides in-person services for all case types listed above. These services are available for the following court locations:

San Bernardino Historic

San Bernardino Justice Center

Barstow

Fontana

Joshua Tree

Using ADR to resolve disputes can:

Save time, since it can take a lot less time to work out and write up an agreement than go through a trial.

Save money on attorney's fees, fees for expert witnesses and other expenses.

More control over the outcome. In ADR, parties participate more actively in creating a workable solution than leaving the decision up to a judge or a jury. Also, it can create solutions that go beyond what the court can do.
