Expert Legal Guidance
When parties to a dispute are unable to resolve their case, they are left with the civil justice system as the process by which the case is decided. Mediation is often a better alternative.
In the traditional civil trial process, the parties let a judge or jury decide the outcome of their case. Because of the time and expense involved in traditional litigation in the courts, alternative methods of dispute resolution have emerged, including mediation and arbitration. Mediation empowers the parties to resolve the dispute rather than leave the decision to strangers. Arbitration involves the use of an impartial arbitrator to more quickly hear the evidence and make a decision that’s binding on the parties.
