Attorney As Mediator Rules

Summary

In California, attorneys can mediate but cannot represent you in the same case. Mediation offers can be served directly to the other party without court involvement. Sheriffs typically serve court documents, not mediation offers, unless a court case is filed. For personal loans to family or friends, the maximum interest rate is generally 10% per year, and charging 15% may violate usury laws. Consult an attorney for more guidance.
