Alternative Dispute Resolution
While we take considerable pride in our abilities as trial lawyers, James, McElroy & Diehl fully embraces Alternative Dispute Resolution as an effective method of conflict resolution.
Alternative dispute resolution, including arbitration and mediation, provides clients the opportunity to negotiate and settle disputes efficiently and economically in a pre-litigation format. James, McElroy & Diehl prepares for these proceedings with the same level of commitment as when going to trial – working to structure the process based on negotiation, cooperation and mutual respect.
