What is Alternative Dispute Resolution?

Alternative dispute resolution (ADR) provides peaceful effective methods of resolving conflicts. Neutral third parties assist individuals engaged in conflict - find a settlement, through the use of mediation and arbitration. Alternative Dispute Resolution is a growing practice and helps individuals in a variety of fields including:

employment issues
commercial disputes
landlord-tenant issues
international disputes
public policy issues
neighbor-to-neighbor disputes and
family issues

This rapid rise is primarily attributed to the desires of parties on both sides of a dispute to reach a settlement and avoid slow, costly litigation.
