Sacramento, California – Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) involves a number of methods of handling disputes outside of a courtroom. Arbitration, settlement conferences, conciliation, and mediation all form a simpler, time saving approach to working out a resolution. Not only is the result one that is fairer to the involved parties; it has also been shown to be more likely to be compliant to the law than those decisions made in a court of law by either jury or judge. Daniel Yamshon offers experienced ADR services in San Francisco that give the parties of a dispute more control than they will have in a traditional lawsuit.

An arbitrator or mediator is a neutral figure in the negotiation. The parties have the option to choose the rules that will be observed during the procedure or write their own, providing they are in mutual agreement about what those rules will be. Once of the greatest benefits of ADR services in San Francisco is the ability of the ADR to come to the parties. This prevents them from traveling long distances away from their homes to take part in the process. Another important benefit is that these procedures are much more affordable than handling the same issues in a courtroom.

Clients who choose to settle their dispute through ADR services in San Francisco typically choose arbitration and mediation. In arbitration, both parties present evidence with or without the assistance of a lawyer and the arbitrator issues an award which is just as enforceable as a judgment by the court. All relevant evidence can be admitted and the arbitrator will weigh it to determine whether it has value. Arbitration is shorter and more relaxed than a court trial but it is just as binding, meaning the world of the arbitrator is final.

Mediation is a much different process. It is a negotiation by a facilitator who is highly trained in the arts of conflict intervention. The goal of mediation is to pinpoint the interests and help to integrate them to into the negotiation to the greatest degree possible. Mediation is a popular choice in ADR services in San Francisco because it results in a resolution that is good for all parties involved.
