Our experienced family law attorneys are always ready and prepared to represent you in court. However, there are alternative options to going to court for your divorce, child custody, property division or other family law related issues. Our attorneys have a plethora of experience in successfully helping clients reach an agreement using alternative dispute resolution methods such as mediation and arbitration.
What is Mediation & Arbitration?
Mediation and arbitration are two types of Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) methods and share similarities, as both involve the parties working together to resolve (or attempt to resolve) the dispute. Both parties can be represented by an attorney during either ADR setting. Additionally, both ADR methods can be used to resolve many or all of the issues in legal dispute.
While there are similarities between arbitration and mediation, there are several differences to be aware of as well. Read our blog for a comprehensive comparison between the two dispute resolution alternatives.
How could Mediation assist me?
Mediation is a voluntary and collaborative process in which a neutral third party helps disputing parties communicate and negotiate to reach a mutually acceptable agreement.
How could Arbitration assist me?
Arbitration is a more formal process where a neutral third party hears both sides of a dispute and makes a binding decision that the parties must follow.
