Mission & Philosophy
“On both sides”
Serving all of Minnesota and headquartered in the city of Anoka, we see ourselves in the role of building bridges to connect people across conflicts that divide them. “Anoka” is derived from a-no-ka-tan-han, a phrase from the Dakota language that means “on both sides of the river.” It’s not just the name of the city, it’s our mission to open communication between those on all sides of a conflict - with empathy, respect, and professionalism - and help you move toward lasting solutions.
Mediation empowers parties to resolve conflicts on their own terms, providing lasting closure while often strengthening relationships and communities. In contrast, litigation is a costly and emotionally draining process that leaves one side victorious, but often at great personal and financial expense - even for the "winning" party.
At Anoka Conflict Solutions, LLC, we are dedicated to understanding the unique perspectives and values of all parties involved. We believe that this deeper understanding is key to creating meaningful, lasting resolutions. Our approach fosters open, respectful communication, where every voice is heard, and common ground is found.
By focusing on empathy, impartiality, and collaboration, we transform conflict into opportunity, helping individuals navigate disputes with clarity, confidence, and a renewed sense of possibility. Our goal is to cultivate stronger relationships and lasting peace, empowering all parties to move forward with mutual respect and understanding.
