Dispute Resolution and Mediation

Not everyone wants to, or ought to for that matter, litigate their claims to the bitter end. For that reason, the attorneys at Thompson & Associates can assist in resolving legal matters in a "non-legal" way; namely alternative dispute resolution and/or mediation.

Alternative dispute resolution may be appropriate in situations where the recovery of your claim may not justify formal legal action because the costs of going to trial and litigating may exceed the recovery amount. Other situations such as maintaining a relationship with the other party after it is all said and done warrants a less formal approach.

No matter the reason, you need an intelligent and zealous attorney to know the difference and be able to choose the right resolution avenue for your case or claim. Our attorneys have settled hundreds of thousands of dollars without having to go all the way to trial.

Considering alternative dispute resolution options is simply an often overlooked option that we ensure is part of the consideration and not overlooked. Obviously sometimes trial is necessary and is the only effective way to right the wrong committed against you. We can and will litigate for you where appropriate. Other times, however, it is more advantageous to pursue some form of alternative dispute resolution and/or mediation and we feel that you - the client - should know your options.
