OUR STAFF

The DRC provides mediation and conciliation services through its volunteer third party neutral mediators,   who bring the contending parties together to examine their differences and encourage them to explore common ground and find a mutually acceptable solution to their dispute.

The DRC accepts referrals according to predetermined guidelines from Justice of the Peace, County and District Courts within Fort Bend County, Social Services Agencies, Police Departments, Business Groups, the Bar Association, Private Attorneys, Religious, and other Community Organizations. The DRC also actively seeks self-referred  mediations from the general public through advertising and public awareness education.
