MEDIATION AND ARBITRATION

Attorney Charles Blumenfield has served as both a mediator and arbitrator. His experience as a municipal judge for 19 years, and as a trial attorney for more than 35 years informs his abilities in connection with alternative dispute resolution.

Mediation and arbitration typically affords a less costly alternative to a court trial.

In mediation, the parties to the lawsuit use a mediator, usually an attorney not involved in the matter, to try to reach an agreement on the issues involved in the lawsuit. Mediation may be sought on a voluntary basis or may be ordered by a judge in an attempt to resolve a case without the need for trial.

In arbitration, a neutral third party who is agreed on by both parties, hears evidence at a hearing usually conducted in an office rather than a courtroom. The arbitrator then issues an award, which is final and binding on all parties.

If you are in need of a mediator or arbitrator for your claim, or are interested in seeking legal representation in advance of an alternative dispute resolution proceeding, please contact us to arrange a confidential consultation to discuss your situation.
