Post closing issues that involve money changing hands to solve, one way to handle it is to use mediation in lieu of litigation to obtain a written agreement regarding the money exchanged in lieu of filing litigation, filing ethics complaints, filing license law complaints, etc.

SCR offers free Zoom mediation currently.
