Arbitrations-Mediations and ADR

Arbitrations, Mediations, and ADR

Although lengthy trials are sometimes unavoidable for resolving a case, legally effective alternatives are available. Many people often choose to negotiate and reach an out-of-court agreement with the opposing party.

The Sorenson Law Firm in Tempe, Arizona, has extensive experience in arbitrations, meditations, and other alternative dispute resolution (ADR) methods. Our cutting-edge expertise allows us to use various techniques to guide the negotiation process. We creatively help the parties find the optimal solutions that fairly represent both sides.

Two opposing parties trying to devise a constructive agreement without an arbitrator or mediator can lead to tension, making direct negotiations challenging. Our mediation and arbitration attorney will help you begin the process by implementing effective, practical, formal, and informal procedures for handling the dispute. Our goal is to ensure the disputes come to an early, successful, and peaceful conclusion.

Benefits of Arbitrations, Mediations, and ADR

Choosing an out of court dispute resolution process has tremendous benefits that both parties enjoy:

Cost-effective: Generally, litigation of a dispute costs more than the average arbitration or mediation cost in Tempe, Arizona. These out-of-court processes also take less time than a full-court case, which can take months, leading to more legal fees.
Guaranteed confidentiality: Court hearings are public while ADR proceedings remain strictly confidential. Only the involved parties and the arbitration or mediation attorney know what transpired in the negotiation room.
Assured compliance: The resolution agreed by both parties is legally binding, and compliance is often certain and fully enforceable in court. You do not need to employ a lawyer to force compliance.
More control: Alternative dispute resolutions give the parties involved more control than the court, where the judge and jury control the outcome. Arbitration and mediation usually produce mutually agreeable results.

If you are looking for an arbitration and mediation attorney in Tempe, Arizona, to facilitate your ADR case and enjoy these benefits, then The Sorenson Law Firm is the ADR team for you. Our attorneys act as neutral facilitators and offer guidance to both parties through the process while helping them think outside the box to broaden the possible solutions available.

How Arbitration Works

Arbitration is a lighter and quicker version of a trial that helps to resolve disputes outside the court. Both parties choose one or more people (arbitrators) to decide their case. The arbitrator should be an expert in legal matters. Each party gets a chance to share their story and present their evidence. After a thoughtful discussion, the arbitrator makes a decision based on their understanding of the law.

You have the option of making the arbitration binding, meaning that the court cannot review or change it. Non-binding arbitration can go to court if one or both parties disagree on the decision, which rarely happens. Learn more about our arbitration dispute resolution provisions that ensure success for both parties.

How Mediation Works

Mediation is a structured interactive dispute resolution process, but in this case, the person meditating does not decide for the parties. Mediators are often attorneys, but some states allow other people who have received training to become one. The mediator facilitates open communication and enlightens the parties involved about their legal rights and liabilities.

When both parties reach an agreement, the mediator assists them in putting it in writing and obtaining approval from a judge. The agreement becomes binding by order of the court and is enforceable by law. Arizona Mediation services are often used in legal areas such as family law, where a court cannot offer the time and effort needed to reach a peaceful and relatively fair agreement. Reach out to us today and resolve your dispute within hours or a few days.

  Let me start off by saying that if your looking for someone who is kind thoughtful professional down to earth easy to communicate  with & is very pro active in how they do business & is 100% invested in you & getting the best outcome for whatever your situation may be than I would recommend jonny & rowanna. This was my first time that I  needed to find a lawyer who could assist me with my situation. What stood out to me was at the end of our zoom meeting I remember saying to both jonny & rowann that I'm not interested in moving forward because I was more at fault than the lady who hit me so in my mind I'm thinking we'll this guy probably isn't going to want to take my case because it seemed like it would be an uphill battle, & he responded by letting  me know that he would like to take my case & see what he could do &  bottom line is that you"ll either have more than what you have now or you"ll be in the same situation.
So I thought about it for a minute & decided to trust them to see what happens. So from that day on all the way til the case was resolved I've had a great experience with them. Rowanna explained everything to me in a way that was not complicated  & always asked me that if had any questions or if I didn't understand she would ask. They are easy to talk with & made me feel like I was important & trying to get the best outcome for me. When my case was complete I was so grateful & appreciated for what they were able to do for me. Johnny & Rowanna are the best & will always have & want the best for you I know because they did that for me. Thanks again  CHRISTOPHER

  I worked with The Sorenson Law firm for about 5 months resolving a personal injury claim that occurred during a car accident I was in and I couldn't have been more happy with results. The firm was always responsive, quick to answer any questions I had and I could tell they had my best interest in mind. I would recommend The Sorenson Law Firm to anyone that needs a personal injury lawyer, they're great!

  I cannot recommend the Sorenson Law Firm enough. After an accident, I was in a situation where I knew very little about my options. I reached out to my community for advice and Johnny’s wife was quick to put me in contact with him to get me some help. The insurance company we were dealing with was not the easiest, but Johnny and his team did a wonderful job at recovering my losses and fighting for me. Johnny and his team kept me well informed and educated throughout the process, which meant a lot as I was very naïve and knew very little going into this process. I feel fortunate to have crossed paths with this wonderful team, and if life ever throws another curve ball, I’ll be sure to use the Sorenson Law Firm again!!!

  Sorenson Law Firm made a tough situation less burdensome for me and my family. Going through the lost of a loved one and having to instill trust in people you don't know is hard. But Johnny Sorenson and his associates were very caring, professional, informative and timely when it came to our case. I would recommend The Sorenson Law Firm to anyone that needs lawyers that actually care about their clients and not just a paycheck. I'm writing this as a thank you to their company and to the team that worked on our case. Thank you!
