The Consumer Protection Unit of the Marin County District Attorney’s Office Mediation Program handles consumer-business disputes, animal, neighborhood, and landlord-tenant disputes among others. It also provides education to consumers, retailers, neighbors, landlords, tenants, and others and is a public resource for consumer rights information. This program is offered and available to residents of Marin who have experienced some difficulty in a business transaction or other dispute and assists the parties in an effort to obtain a resolution of their dispute, short of going to court. MGSA’s primary role is invoicing and collection of funds as well as coordinating communications with the Marin Managers’ Association for the District Attorney’s Annual Report regarding the program.
