You Can Submit Your Scheduling Request Online! Download Form for Scheduling Do I Need an Attorney? The Center for Legal Solutions does not require that parties be represented by attorneys to participate in mediation sessions. Our state-certified mediators are specifically trained to handle cases where one or more parties are representing themselves. The mediator cannot represent you but can help you understand the terms of negotiation. If you need help finding an attorney to represent you, we suggest that you use the following resources: Cobb County Bar Association Lawyer Referral Program: For $35, you will receive a 30 minute initial consultation with a Cobb County attorney who is familiar with your legal concern. Call 770-424-7149. Atlanta Bar Association Lawyer Referral and Information Service: Call 404-521-0777. The lawyers on their panel will give you up to a 30-minute consultation for the fee of only $35. If you believe that you need, but cannot afford legal representation, we suggest you contact the following resources: State Bar of Georgia Pro Bono Project: The Pro Bono Project is headquartered at the State Bar's Downtown Office and involves private attorneys in representation of the poor in civil matters. Atlanta Legal Aid Society: The Atlanta Legal Aid Society has represented poor individuals from Clayton, Cobb, DeKalb, Fulton, and Gwinnett Counties in civil legal cases since 1924. If you chose to represent yourself, you will be responsible for paying all of your mediation fees. If you are ordered to mediation through the Cobb County Superior Court Mediation Program and you qualify as indigent according to the Georgia guidelines for indigence, you may apply for a waiver of the mediation fee with that program's office. Applications for indigence must be made through the Cobb County Superior Court's Mediation Office prior to the scheduled mediation conference. Please note that you will be fully responsible for all fees owed to The Center for Legal Solutions regardless of any waiver or reimbursement offered by the Cobb County Superior Court Mediation Program.
