Alternative dispute resolution (ADR) refers to a number of methods used to settle marital and family issues outside the civil court system. These include:

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ARBITRATION AND MEDIATION?

In the simplest of terms, mediation is a process where a couple agrees to a settlement. In many cases, mediation can be quicker and less expensive than a traditional divorce. While that may sound appealing it is important to remember than many couples struggle to agree on the terms of their settlement. The mediator will work with the couple to help achieve a settlement but will not impose a result. Not every situation will be a fit for mediation, we will assist you in selecting the best dispute resolution process.
Arbitration occurs when the couple wants to submit their issues to a third-party for a final decision but prefers to remain outside the labyrinthian court system. cannot agree on terms of mediation. Each spouse will present their case to an arbitrator who will render a decision.

Client

My divorce finally ended last year after about two years of legal process. He was recommended to me by a former client of his and my friend in the middle of my divorce. My former attorney did not seem to be capable of handling my case due to the complexity of it. The best decision that I ever made was to retain Bob to represent me. He has so much expertise and experience in matrimonial law and is very dedicated to his clients. Bob is readily accessible and always answers my questions in less than 24 hours. It was a very taxing and stressful process, but Bob made it much more manageable for me. I highly recommend Bob to anyone who is looking for an experienced, knowledgeable, honest, professional, and tough fighter matrimonial attorney! Thank you so much Bob and Diana!!!
