Litigation Evaluation Service helps identify when ADR benefits clients. Having extensive years of experience in providing settlement alternatives and evaluating strengths and weaknesses in cases, allows the company to use effective strategy in selecting the form and substance of ADR.

Non-binding mediation provides an economic and confidential means of settling cases without expensive discovery. Often, both parties and their attorneys develop short position papers from which the arbitrator can ferret out the essentials of the case and begin to craft a resolution.

Some cases do not lend themselves to mediation especially where tactical considerations dictate the need for the development of intense legal theories or in instances of cases of first impressions.

Formal Binding Arbitration is indicated where the parties have expended vast efforts in discovery and face continuing and mounting legal involvement or where informal settlement and/or mediation has narrowed the issues sufficiently to allow a third party arbitrator to pinpoint the settlement value of the case.

Internet settlement venues are available in minor personal injury or contract disputes provided that accurate and complete information is supplied.

The greatest value in ADR is the confidentiality provided and the costs that are saved in legal and discovery costs. When the dispute resolves itself both parties accept the resolution and appeals are minimized.
