Our litigators are experienced in a variety of alternative dispute resolution (ADR) techniques, including binding arbitration and non-binding mediation. Arbitration and mediation are often used to settle disputes without exposing clients to the risk, time and expense of a trial.

One reason we are successful in achieving a fair settlement outside of the courtroom is that we prepare every case as if it will go before a judge and jury. Our thorough preparation and reputation for success at trial encourage opponents to be reasonable in mediation.

A mediation or arbitration is not just another meeting; it is an opportunity to help our client avoid risk and expense. Mediation also provides an opportunity to more fully assess the strength of the opposition’s case. Throughout the process, we remain advocates for our client, working to persuade the mediator or arbitrator of the strength of our position. Whether representing a government entity, an individual or a business client, we offer quality legal counsel and client-centered service.
