Leo Hura, JD, Mediator presents a primer for clients on competitive negotiation utilizing small claims court as the setting, mandatory mediation as the venue, and Hawaii as the backdrop. Small claims court is the setting because, in the author’s opinion, it is ideal for a discussion about competitive negotiation, since it’s about the money, has a time deadline, and offers a last chance for negotiation in mandatory mediation. The story line in this book continues the development of some of the characters found in his first book, “Can we talk? – No!!” and introduces new ones living in Hawaii having issues which led to dispute that are common worldwide. The book is targeted towards those who prefer reading a story and wish to learn how mediation can help resolve financial disputes headed for small claims court.

At times during our lives we all experience conflict leading to dispute where direct negotiations are failing. Follow the stories of ordinary people in dispute and the role of mediation as facilitated negotiation succeeding in reaching agreement. Save money, time, and stay in control of decision making by mediating and not litigating.
