Mediation, Arbitration, and other forms of ADR
In Mediation I help you come to your own agreement. In Arbitration I listen to everyone, but then I decide what should be done. These are two of several kinds of "alternative dispute resolution" or ADR procedure. These are alternatives to the traditional court process of litigation in which a judge decides after a trial in a courtroom.
If you are looking for an amicable separation, you may want to try mediation first. Whether it is child custody mediation or mediated divorce, this is a process designed to empower you to find your own solutions. For this reason it is the preferred option for many people who want to minimize their exposure to the courts.
Mediation does not work in every case. Private arbitration offers speed and a personal level of attention that the courts cannot always provide. Arbitration is fast and efficient at yielding a decision.
Mediation and Arbitration are just two of the services that I offer. I also offer their hybrid "Med-Arb," as well as decision making (DM); special master services and neutral case evaluation. Most of my work is in family law, but I am taking a growing number of probate and civil cases. Contact me first if you want me to consider working on other issues.
Under this drop-down menu of "Services" I offer more detailed descriptions of what I do. I also suggest ways to reduce your costs by coming prepared for any form of ADR that you participate in.
