Getting Started

To engage our ADR services, please contact Mike Bradley or Jon Koebrick. They will take the time to review the matter with the parties and/or attorneys, discuss any conflicts, confidentiality and fees. An agreement for ADR services will be entered into prior to services being rendered and the agreed upon fees will be paid prior to the ADR session.

Why Parties choose ADR

People choose ADR for many different reasons and at different stages of a disagreement. Many parties voluntarily choose ADR. Others may have agreed to ADR as a method of dispute resolution in a contract, or were ordered to ADR by a court. Generally speaking, parties are looking for a fair and impartial process, managed by a skilled neutral that will foster a respectful environment and focus on resolution of the dispute.
