Alternative Dispute Resolution
Courts are relying more and more on alternative dispute resolution, which typically means participating in mediation prior to going to court. If the parties agree, they can have a mediator facilitate an agreement or an arbitrator decide the case, rather than going to court. This can significantly reduce the amount of time and money spent on a dispute. Oftentimes people are happier with the result after going through some type of alternative dispute resolution method, as they have some control over the end result. Not only are we experienced at dealing with these proceedings, we also have ongoing relationships with many qualified mediators and arbitrators.
