Virtually all aspects of litigation are costly, risky and time consuming in every sense. If a case proceeds to a trial, the parties expend resources to risk uncertainty. Accordingly, litigants are looking for less expensive and more expedient alternatives for dispute resolution outside the courtroom setting. Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) fulfills this important and necessary need in providing economical, efficient and effective options for dispute resolution. While mediation or arbitration is recognized as commonly used ADR methods, there are no limits to the variable creative approaches available to resolve a dispute. Michelle
