Alternative Dispute Resolution

Boston Alternative Dispute Resolution Attorneys

Mediation ∙ Arbitration

Investing time and money in a courtroom battle is not the only way to resolve a legal dispute. Alternative dispute resolution (ADR) is often a viable solution for those with pressing legal issues. At the law firm of Rudolph Friedmann LLP, we can assist you in resolving any individual, family or business dispute through either arbitration or mediation. Judge Isaac Borenstein (Ret.) with many years of experience and a strong reputation, both as a litigator and mediator/arbitrator, has handled a number of complex cases to a successful resolution short of trial.

We offer mediation and arbitration services in several legal areas, including:

• Personal injury and medical malpractice: While most personal injury and medical malpractice cases are thoroughly prepared for trial, in reality, most of them are resolved before trial ever commences. However, having an experienced lawyer in your corner can ensure that your interests are fully protected in any negotiations.
• Commercial and residential real estate disputes: Real estate disputes involving title defects, breach of contract, or other issues can be extremely time consuming and expensive. Resolving these issues through mediation or binding arbitration can spare you the time, stress and expense of a trial.
• Divorce and family law: People who are going through divorce, custody disputes, or other family law problems have enough on their mind without having to worry about how a judge will decide these important issues. Family mediation takes away some of the uncertainty and emotional strain of divorce litigation.
• Other areas: There are countless advantages to pursuing alternative dispute resolution in other legal areas. Our attorneys are fully prepared to pursue ADR in any case if it is in our client's best interests.

Mediation

Mediation is a form of alternative dispute resolution in which a mediator helps both parties come to a resolution together. This procedure not only saves the time and cost of trial, but it also offers the opportunity to come up with creative solutions that may not be available through the traditional litigation path. It ensures that you have a hand in the outcome, whereas a court appearance puts everything in the hands of a judge or jury, who may offer a resolution that favors one party or neither party. We are prepared to show you the many benefits of mediation for resolving legal disputes.

Arbitration

In this form of alternative dispute resolution, an arbitrator plays a role similar to that of a judge. The results are just as binding as a trip to court, but the amount of time and cost involved is significantly lower. As with mediation, working with an arbitrator may lead to a resolution that is preferable to what would be offered through the traditional judicial process.

Whether you are involved in a real estate dispute, a construction dispute, a stockholder dispute or any other dispute, alternative dispute resolution could work for you.
