Watch this YouTube video to learn more about the Early Settlement – Tulsa Family Mediation Program.

Early Settlement Tulsa provides a FREE, confidential, out-of-court mediation service to help settle disputes. Mediation prevents conflicts from escalating, helps parties reach lasting, mutually acceptable resolutions, and saves time and money. Our volunteer mediators receive training and certification from through the Administrative Office of the Court, Alternative Dispute Resolution System and serve as a neutral third-party to facilitate conflict resolution.

Tulsa Program News and Updates!
Volunteer of the Year! Ed Klopfenstein was born and reared in Oklahoma until the age of 6. He later lived in California whereas a newly retired attorney, he began mediating for the court system and continued for 10 years. When Ed decided to move back to his home state of Oklahoma to retire officially, he sought out mediation through Early Settlement because he knew that he loved to help people resolve their differences and was already
accomplished and familiar with the process.
In 2021 he took our Civil Mediation training and embarked on being of service to the judiciary through Small Claims Court. During the international pandemic, Ed has truly been a
godsend and is a favorite among the judges! His other service to the community includes serving seniors by assisting them to sort out everything Medicare, counseling at Senior Centers and manning phone banks. Ed values personal
interaction and likes to help others negotiate to achieve resolution to their problems. We have been thrilled to inherit such a wonderful volunteer! The
world needs more Eds! He has been a volunteer mediator for 5 years and has mediated 189 cases. Ed has volunteered over 432 hours for the Early Settlement – Tulsa program.
Early Settlement – Tulsa Program Volunteers attended the annual Volunteer Mediator Conference in Oklahoma City.
