Arbitration

ADR Systems offers the most efficient arbitration process available.

Arbitration is an adjudicatory process that is used in place of litigation to resolve a dispute. The parties select an individual arbitrator, or a panel of three arbitrators, who will hear evidence and render a decision in the case. Arbitrations proceed according to the arbitration rules selected by the parties. The rules of evidence are relaxed in an arbitration hearing. Most arbitrations are final and binding. However, parties may choose to make the decision an advisory opinion.

At ADR Systems, the most utilized forms of arbitration are Binding Arbitration and Tri-panel Arbitration.

Our neutrals conduct arbitrations in a variety of settings and locations. In addition to in-person arbitration, we also conduct remote dispute resolution through secure videoconferencing, telephonic and teleconferencing sessions.

Parenting Coordination:

For those parents with ongoing conflict regarding the children after the Judgement for Dissolution, our neutrals are available to be parenting coordinators (requires appointment by the Court).

I recently had a mediation with Judge John Ward. It had been many years since my last case with him. After the first go around ended unsuccessfully with the numbers "far apart," Judge Ward said that he would circle back with us. And sure enough he did reach back to us, and after a few days of phone calls, we settled. He belongs at the top of your list as a mediator for almost any case.
