Orange County Mediator & Private Judge

Litigation in California's Courts is not always the most effective method for resolving a legal dispute. Many Courtrooms are burdened with too many cases, and it can take months or even years to resolve what seem like straightforward matters, with added cost and stress. Many people believe that litigation through the Public Courts is their only option for seeking a binding and impartial resolution to their legal problems.

In California, however, parties can utilize alternative dispute resolution services ('ADR') that can offer comparable and even superior dispute resolution services to the Public Court system. Private Judging and Mediation are clear alternatives to litigation in the Superior Courts.

Experienced and well qualified Private Judges and Mediators allow differing parties to custom-tailor their dispute resolution options to meet their own personal needs and goals. These alternatives provide options to a limited public court system.

Moreover, this often means that resolving legal disputes happens without the acrimony, frustration, and dissatisfaction that can accompany traditional adversarial litigation.
