What Is Alternative Dispute Resolution?

ADR refers to processes and techniques used to resolve disputes without resorting to litigation or other forms of legal proceedings. This includes facilitation, mediation, negotiation, and arbitration, which can be voluntary or court-ordered.

ADR provides an efficient and cost-effective alternative to legal proceedings, often leading to lasting and mutually acceptable resolutions in matters such as:

Family separation, divorce, alimony/spousal support, distribution of marital property, child custody, child support and modification of applicable agreements
Personal Injury – Settling disputes related to injuries caused by negligence.
Contract Law & Professional Malpractice – Addressing breaches of agreements and professional disputes.

Understanding ADR Processes

ADR methods include:

Mediation – A neutral third party facilitates discussions between conflicting parties.
Arbitration – A neutral arbitrator renders a decision after hearing both sides.
Negotiation – A direct discussion between parties to reach a settlement.
Collaborative Law – A multi-disciplinary dispute resolution process that could consist of attorneys, medical, mental health, financial, real estate, architectural and other experts, depending on the type of case to provide their expertise to help disputing parties to achieve creative, durable, and mutually acceptable solutions.

Each alternative dispute resolution process or option varies in formality, control over outcomes, and procedural requirements. Our firm tailors ADR approaches to fit the unique needs of each client.

“Nothing Happens by Chance”
A few years ago I was looking for a lawyer for my husband. I didn't really know where to start so I typed in the normal search words for a lawyer. I read over the names and looked at a few pictures, but for some reason when Mrs. Okasili's name and picture came up something in me said..."She is the one!" Mind you I never saw her before and she was not referred to us, but nothing happens by chance. It has been a long road but we are pleased with Mrs. Okasili's professionalism, care for our well-being and the respect she has shown us. I highly recommend her because she really cares. Most lawyers are out to make money and be done with your case quickly. What we experienced was the opposite. She calls, emails, checks-in and often sends ecards to let you know you are in her thoughts. I truly believe that everything happens for a reason and in each season we are provided with a man or "woman" who is a vehicle to the change in our lives. We are truly blessed by her consistent care and for the outstanding job she did. We are truly grateful. Never forget...nothing happens by chance. This chance turned out to be a blessing! Thank you very much Mrs. Okasili!
