Occasionally, parties on both sides of a given legal issue come together and agree that the expense, time, and energy of going to Court is just not worth it. In these instances and by agreement, we will sit down with both sides, hear the facts, and mediate or arbitrate the case. Often, and particularly with mediation, settling the case in this manner not only involves the clients in the outcome, but leads to a higher degree of satisfaction than might otherwise be obtained in an “all or nothing” decision from the Court.
