Arbitration is an affordable and less cumbersome alternative to going to court. 

In cases where attorney’s fees are being disputed, it is likely that both sides will need to hire an expert witness.

The state of Florida allows parties to utilize private judging in place of a traditional public trial.

Going to court can be expensive and overwhelming for everyone involved. For this reason, many people view mediation as a viable alternative to take a case to court.

A settlement conference is similar to a mediation but oftentimes occurs before a case is filed in court. During a settlement conference, a neutral settlement coordinator will sit with the parties to explore settlement options.
