Why Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR)?

One or more of our certified, professional facilitators will work with you and
other parties in conflict on issues that are in need of resolution through one
of our ADR programs.  Whether it is mediation, arbitration, or conciliation,
we can help you resolve specific points of conflict without the need for
expensive and time-consuming litigation.  We offer large group and small
group sessions.

ADR involves various processes by which parties in dispute, working with facilitators,
can find common ground and work together to find an amiable resolution for everyone.
Research shows that participants who use these methods are very likely to abide by
decisions rendered because they themselves have a significant part in deciding these
outcomes.  In fact, eighty percent of cases that go through mediation (one of the most
common forms of ADR) end in mutually satisfactory outcomes for all parties.  

It is this self-determinism that is integral to the majority of ADR practices and thus sets
them apart from traditional litigation.  Click

specific ADR services we offer and a general summary of each one.

Benefits
Save money and time.  ADR is less expensive and time consuming than
litigation.   
Private.  Typically, ADR proceedings are confidential, which means the
reputations of all parties are protected.    
Informal.  Participants in ADR can take frequent breaks, request private
sessions with the facilitators, and shorten or lengthen their sessions to fit their
needs.
Convenient.  Appointments can be held in the evenings or weekends to fit
around busy work schedules.
Prevents litigation.  ADR is a consensual process and offers a non-adversarial
alternative to litigation.  
Creative.  ADR allows the parties to come up with unique solutions that will
lead to win/win outcomes.
Reduces stress.  Because of the previous benefits, participants will be able to
relax to a greater degree than in traditional litigation proceedings.  Less stress
equals better peace of mind.
