In 2011, we enlarged our
portfolio to include an Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR)
division. As a result, we facilitate arbitration, mediation, and
conflict resolution involving civil litigation, domestic relations,
and workplace discord. With the appropriate ADR services, we are
confident we can facilitate WIN/WIN Solutions for
you!
