It's Been Two Years Since I've Needed Him And I Still Carry His Card In My Wallet “Mr. Doyle represented me through a very difficult situation. The only thing that was comforting about the entire experience was, when you meet him in person you realize immediately he is a shark in a suit and he is on your side. His receptionist is an absolute sweetheart and can usually answer any question you have if Mr. Doyle is out of the office. It's been two years since I've needed him and I still carry his card in my wallet.” - Jonathan

Alternative Dispute Resolution Representation (including arbitrations and mediations)
Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) is a process through which people who have legal disputes can resolve them outside of a courtroom. Although your ADR case will not be heard by a judge and jury, it is still important to have the guidance of a competent and experienced attorney at your side.
In a mediation, the opposing parties will meet with a neutral third person whose job it is to help them find a resolution that they can agree upon. The mediator assists them in negotiating a settlement. It is important to have the aid of an experienced attorney in your mediation. Even though the mediator may be an attorney, he or she is not there to advise you about or protect your legal rights. Mediation is often used in civil disputes to work out issues that arise where both parties want to do the "right thing," but are having trouble deciding what is fair to both parties. As an experienced negotiator, Civil Litigation Attorney Michael D. Doyle can advise you about your legal rights and the fairness of any proposed solution.
In an arbitration, the parties present their cases and tell their stories to one or more neutral parties who will decide the outcome of the case. Arbitration can be binding - meaning the parties have no choice but to accept the arbitrator's decision, or non-binding. Arbitration is often used in commercial disputes. Many contracts that you sign require binding mediation as the way to resolve any problems. Because your rights may be decided without ever setting a foot inside courtroom, it is important that you have a qualified advocate who will present your case in the most favorable light and protect your financial interests.
