Mediation 30%

The mediation process helps people resolve disputes without going to court. Mediation is a proceeding, conducted by a neutral third party (a mediation lawyer) who meets with you and the person you disagree with. Mediators are trained to find mediation solutions in all legal disputes. The mediator acts as a facilitator, helping the participants negotiate until a solution is found.

Arbitration - When you want to settle a dispute without going to court, you may benefit from the services of an arbitration lawyer. In an arbitration setting, you and the other involved party select a neutral third person to serve as an arbitrator. Acting in the role of an informal judge, the arbitration lawyer listens to both sides of your dispute and then makes a decision. The process is informal.
