What Is Alternative Dispute Resolution?
Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) can involve a wide variety of alternatives to seeking resolution through litigation. Sometimes ADR can be used to avoid litigation even before a lawsuit is filed, and sometimes ADR can bring about a negotiated resolution short of a full-blown trial.
ADR Methods We Use
Our attorneys are well-versed in ADR. Some of the techniques and options we utilize include:
- Case evaluation
- Facilitative mediation
- Summary jury trials
- Early neutral case evaluation
- Arbitration
Various forms of facilitative mediation are frequently utilized in general civil litigation and domestic civil litigation matters.
Practice Areas Where ADR Works Well
We use ADR to resolve disputes across many practice areas. To name a few:
- Family law matters: Divorce, custody and property division often benefit from mediation.
- Business law disputes: Contract disagreements, partnership conflicts and commercial matters.
- Other civil disputes: Employment issues, real estate conflicts and litigation matters.

Benefits Of Choosing ADR
