Simplifying Alternative Dispute Resolution

ADR fees and procedures are getting out of hand. Some local mediators and arbitrators are charging as much as $400 to $800 per hour — well beyond the reach of individuals and small businesses. Not many cases can withstand such hourly rates. We know there is a better way.

We’ve learned a lot from the many mediations, arbitrations and pro bono ADR cases we’ve handled, and from our experience as lawyers representing parties in litigation. And we’re applying that insight to cases where the parties don’t qualify for pro bono help but can’t afford or don’t want to pay the rates being charged by many mediators and arbitrators.
