Alternative Dispute Resolution

Mediation is mandatory in all cases filed in the Superior Courts of North Carolina. We find that pre-suit or voluntary mediation can often be an effective tool to resolve disputes before they get to court. Most disputes can be reasonably settled. Mediation offers an effective and low cost alternative to litigation. We will prepare you and we will be prepared ourselves. If settlement is in your best interests, we will position the case in the best possible way to maximize your options.

In addition to mediation, our attorneys have extensive experience in arbitration. We have been chosen to sit as arbitrators, and we have represented clients in both voluntary and involuntary arbitrations on a variety of issues. Preparation and an understanding of the issues are the most important tools in an arbitration hearing. We go into these proceedings with both.
