- Mediation Services: We work diligently every step of the way-from pre-mediation calls to post-mediation follow-up to help all parties arrive at the best possible outcome to your dispute. Our mediation is not limited to just a few hours or a day-long session. It is a process—one at which our Mediators excel. Our experienced mediators participate regularly in ADR and we hear lots of reasons to justify not mediating. Some people are simply reluctant to try something that is new to them. Others don’t want to settle cases but want to win them in a courtroom. Yet, in a growing number of industries throughout the country, mediation is a proven process that is being used to save time and money and avoid the risk of trial, whether in court or arbitration.
- Arbitration Services: Typically, the real estate industry disputes rely on negotiation and mediation for solutions. When mediation fails, arbitration is often initiated. Mediation involves the skillful intervention of a third-party professional to help resolve disputes that arise between two or more parties. Arbitration, a form of ADR, is a legal technique for the resolution of disputes outside the courts. The parties to a dispute refer it to one or more persons (the "arbitrators", "arbiters," or "arbitral tribunal"), whose decision (the "award") they agree to be bound. It is a settlement technique in which a third party reviews the case and imposes a decision that is legally binding for both sides.
- To save our clients valuable time and money, we can provide procedural options that allow the crafting of a process that helps you efficiently resolve disputes.
