CIVIL RESOLUTIONS

Litigation is time-consuming and expensive. Fortunately, there is a better way to resolve legal disputes... Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) is widely recognized as the most fair and efficient way to resolve existing or potential legal disputes. The two most prevalent forms of ADR are mediation and arbitration. Mediation allows the parties to sit across the table with a qualified mediator, present their cases, and negotiate a settlement with the mediator's guidance and support. The parties may or may not be represented by attorneys. Arbitration is more formal. In arbitration, the parties hire a qualified arbitrator to hear their dispute and issue a binding award that may be turned into a judgment. Mediation and arbitration can be used instead of litigation or to resolve litigation after it starts.
