Alternative Dispute Resolution: Arbitration & Mediation
At JRG, our Monterey County arbitration attorneys know how to resolve disputes outside of the courts. In arbitration, the dispute is presented to an unbiased third party to resolve. Arbitration provides a way to end disputes in a way that can be faster, less formal, and more collegial than courtroom litigation. Also, arbitration can keep the conflict confidential, as there is no public hearing or public record. Our arbitration lawyers will be with you every step of the way. Founding partner Jeff Gilles is a sought-after arbitration judge with a respected reputation for reaching effective resolutions.
In addition to arbitration, our attorneys are available to assist with the mediation process. Mediation is a nonbinding decision agreed upon by all sides and can help to solve an issue without the cost or time of litigation.
In the event that the issues extend beyond arbitration or mediation, our civil litigation attorneys have a proven track record of success in negotiating and trying cases in court for our clients across multiple industries and areas of litigation.
