Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) Lawyer Since 2006
Court cases take time and cost money. Alternative dispute resolution offers a faster way to solve problems. Many people don’t know about the ADR process or how it works. At Bachman Law, LLC, attorney Stanley (Stan) B. Bachman helps clients through alternative dispute resolution for business and construction disputes.
Understanding Alternative Dispute Resolution
Alternative dispute resolution gives you ways to settle conflicts outside of court. The process includes several methods. Mediation and arbitration are the two most common options. Many people mix up these terms. They work very differently.
Mediation consists of nonbinding settlement discussions. A neutral person helps both sides talk through the issue. The mediator guides settlement negotiations but cannot force you to agree. You control the outcome. You can walk away if you don’t like the terms.
Arbitration works more like a private trial. In binding arbitration, an arbitrator hears your case and then hands down a decision and award (i.e. a judgment). The arbitrator’s decisions are final and binding on the parties. The arbitration agreement sets the rules. Other ADR methods include neutral evaluation and facilitation.
