What is Alternative Dispute Resolution?
Alternative dispute resolution (ADR) is a process by which the parties can resolve their situation without going to court. The process typically involves several methods including arbitration, mediation, early neutral evaluation, collaborative law, and conciliation. ADR methods can be effective in reducing the time, money, and adversarial nature associated with traditional court-based proceedings. It is not necessary to have legal counsel for ADR proceedings, but it is a good idea to consult with a lawyer who is experienced in these forms of negotiation to protect your rights. The attorneys at Hughes & Mashinski can advise you how to avoid potential misunderstandings and will act as advisors throughout your dispute resolution process.

Going to trial can be a dauting and undesirable option for many people. ADR can be a good option for them, depending on the circumstances surrounding their case. Some of the advantages of hiring a Pennsylvania ADR lawyer are:

• Save on the cost and time-consuming nature of lawsuits and trials
• The result of the ADR, including the damages you will be awarded, are certain
• Details of the ADR cannot be accessed by the public, unlike a trial
• Retain control over your claim, as well as determining the date, time and place of your ADR
