Small claims court vs mediation for a $2,000 fence dispute in Phoenix
My neighbor and I had a fight over a shared fence that fell over in a storm last month. I wanted to take her to small claims court to get the $2,000 back, but my buddy said mediation through the city would be cheaper and faster. I went with mediation, and we ended up splitting the cost 60/40 after two hours of talking. Has anyone here tried court for something similar and gotten a better result?
