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 to 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. Our team has significant experience in mediation and arbitration. Our skilled mediators give the parties, who are the real stakeholders, the opportunity to resolve their case. Our mediation experience includes resolution of commercial disputes, employment and labor disputes, personal-injury cases, insurance coverage disputes, real estate disputes, and partnerships and family law matters. When arbitration is involved, Tim Engler and Rob Keith—members of the invitation-only National Academy of Distinguished Neutrals—serve as impartial umpires with the experience and expertise to call balls and strikes without a rooting interest in either team. When it comes to resolving disputes before trial, we find the way.
