Introducing Our Dispute Resolution Specialists
|
American Settlement Centers is dedicated to assisting parties to resolve their disputes quickly and economically through mediation and arbitration without the risk and uncertainty associated with litigation. Our trained and experienced neutrals are committed to providing the highest level of professionalism and confidentiality and access to state-of-the-art processes and resources. Our goals are simple:
Preserve Relationships. Mediation is an effective, private, fair, and inexpensive approach to dispute resolution compared to a lawsuit and is particularly valuable when your dispute involves another person with whom you need to remain on good terms. Lawsuits polarize and can ultimately ruin relationships, so a huge advantage of mediation is its ability to get a dispute resolved without destroying a relationship. Maintain Confidentiality. What you say during mediation cannot legally be revealed outside the mediation proceedings or used later in a court of law. So your privacy will be substantially greater with mediation than with litigation. Exercise Creativity. Our mediators make good use of creative ideas, personal feelings, and practical solutions that litigation might discourage. The mediator can point out, in different terms than lawyers would use, the strengths and weaknesses of each side's position -- which may, in turn, change each party's view of the prospects of winning (or losing) at trial, and open the door to a mutually acceptable settlement. |
