Alternative Dispute Resolution
Southern Indiana Mediation, Arbitration and Collaborative Law Lawyers
Sometimes people think that going to court is the only way to effectively resolve a dispute. While litigation is necessary in some cases, there are several alternatives that can be more effective in finding a solution that meets your needs and reduces the cost, time and stress of presenting your case in front of a judge and jury.
At the New Albany, Indiana, law firm of Lorch & Naville, we recognize the growing preference among judges and our clients for resolving legal matters through alternative dispute resolution (ADR). Our ADR services include:
- Collaborative family law - In collaborative law, both parties come together to discuss their needs and wants for a successful outcome. The lawyers are not adversarial, but rather provide guidance to their clients as they go through the process. During the process, counselors, financial advisers, and psychologists are often involved to help ensure a fair and reasonable agreement between the parties. Attorneys Linda B. Lorch and Lisa Garcia Reger have completed collaborative law training.
- Arbitration - In this method, an attorney is appointed as an arbitrator- someone who will make the decision in a dispute rather than a judge. The decision is binding, but it can be appealed. Arbitration can be used in family law and civil negotiations.
- Mediation - Mediation is commonly used in divorce and family law proceedings, but it can be used in civil matters. Like collaborative law, mediation allows parties to discuss their wants and needs in an open communication forum. A neutral third party facilitates the discussion and helps parties come to an agreement. This method is beneficial because it is cheaper and less intrusive than court.
If you want more information on these methods of dispute resolution, please contact us. Whether you resolve your dispute through mediation or another ADR method, you can be confident the attorneys at Lorch & Naville will protect your interests. We have the skills and experience you need to reach a successful outcome.
