Program Benefits

Expedited Scheduling

Whether you need mediation a week or two before trial, the day before trial, or hours before your trial — we can assist. We will find a time for mediation that works for parties and counsel.

Administrative Support

ADR Systems will administer all aspects of the mediation, including contacting counsel and scheduling the session. We will work with all parties to ensure that the mediation is scheduled as soon as practicable.

Flexible

ADR Systems reserves time every day to ensure that urgent requests for last minute mediation can be fulfilled. We have experienced neutrals on call daily to accommodate your requests.

Neutral Mediator

This program gives you and your opposing counsel one last opportunity to resolve the dispute with a neutral mediator prior to trial — without involving the judge who will be presiding over your matter in court.
